We still don't know if the bike was illegal or not. It may have left the factory as a legal EPAC, but the rider may have modified it, and this may have alerted the police to stop it. If the police issue a full statement including bodyworn footage, we may have a better idea what happened leading...

https://www.halfords.com/scooters/electric-scooters/pure-air6-proplus-suspension-electric-scooter-490347.html When high street retailers are selling these, marketing them as having up to 47 miles range, regenerative braking, cruise control, lights, brake lights ets etc. Ok, there is a warning...

Now the police have backed down, it gives an unsatisfactory end to this, as it raises a lot of questions, and answers none. This should have gone to court as a test case. What was the back story? Was the rider riding obviously way above the 15.5 limit? Did the rider refuse to stop? Was the rider...

I've a lot more to say on this topic, without offending, without pointing fingers, without politics, and without speculation. There's one member on here that seems to be full of personal attacks, virtue signalling, threatening behaviour and debate censorship. You know who you are.......

No, because I've read it many times before elsewhere, and the other reports were saying, 'bike crushed, no appeal, case closed' So now we have multiple different versions of the story circulating. As said above, I suspect the is more to this than is being reported...

This whole mess isn't helped by the fact nearly all these bikes are illegal, and most are ridden by foreigners. The police probably start out with a default setting that every bike they seize is illegal, and in fact every single non scheme e-scooter is illegal anyway without any flawed tests. I...

This story had been widely shared, and used as a police bashing tool. The more I see it, the more something doesn't ring true, and as with most sensationalist things on social media, there is more to the story than reported - Was the rider riding at an obvious high speed with no effort, ie the...

https://magicshineuk.com/product/monteer-12000/ I use one of these, it's insane! I also have an old 2000 lumen Magicshine as backup on my helmet. I've had 3 Magicshine lights over around 15 years, and they all still work. Mates that have bought cheap Chinese lights go through around one a year...

I'm getting extremely pi$$ed off with the way a lot of companies are locking up their products, particularly the likes of Apple, Sonos, and all the pedelecs. They sell you the hardware, which you own, but the software is under licence, which you don't own. So effectively, you don't own the...

I'm not sure how 'race mode' could only be switched on for competitions? If it could somehow be switched on, what's stopping someone leaving it on and riding public trails and roads?

We are talking about power due to the seemingly completely unregulated loophole of peak power. Most places are well regulated re maximum assisted speed, pedal assist only - no self powered or throttle, and 250W nominal power. But this has left wide open the possibility of insane peak power, as...

In the UK, the law is very clear, it's the media, social media and the police that muddy the waters by calling everything that's electric, 'e-bikes'. I have recently noticed the police have just about started to correctly label some of the illegal bikes they stop and seize. One thing I can't...

The brake pads issue was 4 years ago, keep up! Er, 'impersonating an AI' do tell me more......

Is Greg actually a BOT, or just a massive windup by someone with way too much time on their hands?

When my gen 2 Levo had a new motor, the ODO reset to zero. So it's accurate for the motor, but no the bike or battery. A lot of the earlier Levos and Kenevos had multiple motor replacements, 4 or 5 not uncommon. So the bike may have done 15,000 miles but be showing 1,000 on the ODO. AFAIK, the...

I had exactly this scenario with my Levo a few years ago - New pads worked well, but after a couple of rides the lever went back to the bars. I tried the traditional bleeding method of pumping loads of fluid through, but it didn't work. Only when I bought a proper reverse bleed kit, it was...

How, what with, and what to did you connect the battery to, to access and modify the firmware? I thought all Specialized software was encrypted to stop anyone other than the authorised dealers accessing it?

I bought my Levo July 2020, in June 2024 the motor finally completely failed after 2 years of increasing symptoms. So it was replaced under warranty, with the latest firmware update. I can categorically say it had the same power as before - I have a very steep hill climb locally, and I only ever...

My gen2 went mad last winter, after a lot of testing, it turned out to be water in the TCU to motor cable, which had variable high resistance short circuits. New cable and all good!

As far as I'm concerned, things that aren't connected to the internet, that are working perfectly don't need updating. Updates tend to have a habit of creating problems that weren't there before, and you don't need security patches for bikes!
