in the uk you are required to have a steady front and rear light when riding at night. There have been quite a few changes in regs but in the latest flashing rear lights are also allowed. see https://www.cyclinguk.org/lighting-regulations personally, I use an additional flashing rear light in...

The dealer from whom I bought my bike, also fitted the mudguards and the rack. I cannot be 100% certain (I will go back and ask him sometime) but I think these are the guards I have fitted. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/sks-bluemels-road-mudguard-set If these are the right ones (and they should fit)...

The Vibe is the replacement for the Gain F25 which I believe is no longer made. The F25 has an 8 speed Claris rear derailleur and 2 speed on the front. I tried the F25 before buying the Vibe. The two bikes weighed almost the same and the ride was similar. I chose the Vibe partly because it...

the battery extender is a Mahle accessory and is available for all bikes that use the ebikemotion rear motor (e.g. Orbea, Ribble). it costs a huge £500 in the UK, so if you are planning very long journeys it is probably worth getting a different bike!

I agree totally that the transition from ebikemotion app to the MySmartBike app had been very poorly managed.

I had exactly the same experience. I made the mistake of downloading a local map (free) onto the app and my battery died within 50 minutes of the ride. I wrote to Mahle (who now handle queries about the app) to complain, and they tell me there will be a new version of the app ”before New Year”...

looks beautiful scenery there (and the bike)

On the discussion about resistance, I too wondered at first if there was a sort of braking effect when I lowered or turned off the power. I realised that this is a psychological effect simply due to the return of the normal pressure when the motor is off. I did a little experiment and with the...

Hi all. I am a new contributor to this site but have been reading it for many months. I bought my Vibe H30 in July, but due to a mishap was unable to ride it for about 8 weeks. Nevertheless, I am really enjoying the bike. I like the fact that I can lift it up steps, that I can ride it like a...
