  1. Whenever I’m driving distance for work or with my lad for days out Costa with a Bacon bap stop is a must, getting to the point where I plan which one I’m driving through. Not ever heard of that drink, only Latte for me as I’m a lightweight. :)

  6. The comments that I’m cheating always amuse me, especially when I overtake people with it switched off!

  7. IMO eBikes are great, gets folk out on the road or cycle trails no matter the propulsion method. The more the merrier, life’s about taking fun and pleasure when you can.:)

  10. I see a lot of older/retired couples out on them. When you chat to them, they'll often refer to them as a 'new lease of life'. :upyeah:

  13. I used to say that, but wouldn’t go back. I have back/ knee issues, but with a better than average level of fitness mainly ride it switched off, and only turn it on for the properly steep hills.

  14. If I had the ££££ I’d be buying a couple of SurRons for the lad and me for our local MTB trails and forestry footpaths. :)

  15. I was over the FOD on Saturday I didn't want to leave. But battery power was getting low.
     
  16. Portable generator or an extra battery. :D

  17. Think you can buy add on batteries
     
  18. I would say they’ll be quite expensive but maybe worth it for the longer duration out terrorising the pedalists :D

  19. A 2nd pack* is certainly one way to go, could add around 4.5 kgs* for £2-300* making 60 miles* possible, but am largely generalising* here.

  20. You can, but on the Whyte they’re a bit of a bitch to fit. And as Chris says, they weigh a fair bit, so I wouldn’t want to be lugging a spare one around! It would be good if they regenerate using pedal power, but the tech isn’t there yet.
