    What shoes do you ride with?

    I agree with Stefan, in that Adidas Five Tens are great bike shoes, I have the Sleuth version and give great grip on the pedals.

    TREK POWERFLY SPORT 4 EQUIPPED or CUBE Kathmandu Hybrid Pro 500

    FoxAdriano, I wouldn’t get too hung up about levels of nm too much. My bike has a Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 250w and only 50nm tork and it is plenty enough for rough roads and the odd hill at Eco or Tour level, I hardly use Sport or Turbo. Go with the bike your heart points you to, it...

    Which suspension post for a comfort upright bike

    yes, sorry, the hub is Shimano. And yes, you can remove the Powerpack 500 and charge it indoors. Good luck sourcing the bike, I found Raleigh very helpful when contacting them.

I got it at the end of June, direct from Raleigh, but I...

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

    I’m pleased that everyone puts in some pedal power here in the UK, with no throttles. I prefer to feel like I’ve put in the effort on my rides, using the gears efficiently before calling on the added Bosch assistance greater than Eco.

    Hi Nextinline, I have recently invested in a Redshift Shockstop seatpost and have been very impressed with the increased comfort with the smoothing out of any road imperfections. The specs state that it can accommodate 110 kg riders.

    Greetings from Aberdeen Scotland

I decided to go for a brand with a quality legacy, a Raleigh Motus Grand Tour (Photo attached) which has a Bosch Active Line Plus motor and the 500wh...
