What an unbelievable turnout and absolutely stunning weather here at the Tour de Waltham Forest! ☀️🚴‍♂️

We’re set up and having the best time chatting with everyone. We’ve brought our full demo fleet with us today, so if you’re in the area, come down and say hi! We’ve got Tern, Brompton, and Ahooga bikes ready and waiting for you to test ride.

Just taking a quick break to soak up the immaculate vibes and fuel up for the afternoon. Lunch today is an elite combo: an incredible Deeny’s toasted cheese and a classic Walthamstow Dog. 🧀🌭

The event is still going strong, so get down here, grab some amazing local food, and take one of our bikes for a spin!

E-bikes are safe, and legal - untested, converted, E-motorbikes are not!
We only sell fully legal EAPC compliant E-bikes...any questions? Call/visit us, or use the great resource that is E-Bike positive 👍

Another 18 high-powered, non-compliant machines seized in a single week, by one force’s cycle team.

The seizures aren’t slowing down. And every one of those machines was sold to somebody, most of them as an “e-bike”.

They aren’t e-bikes in law. A legal e-bike has pedals, a 250W motor and assistance that stops at 15.5mph, and nothing about it gets you stopped, fined or seized.

Don’t end up buying one of these by accident. Look for the E-Bike Positive mark: verified brands, approved retailers, road legal from day one.

When I first saw the ABUS HYP-E online, I had some serious doubts — but getting hands-on with it genuinely changed my mind.

The integrated lighting is actually really clever. Instead of passive reflectors, you get proper turn signals controlled from a wireless remote on the handlebars, plus a brake light that activates when you pull the lever.

The magnetic buckle is a surprisingly nice touch too.

What stands out most is that it still feels like a proper helmet first, not a gimmicky tech product. Just a really well-executed piece of gear for e-bikes and everyday city riding. 🚲💡

Job well done

Ever experienced that scary front-wheel wobble on your Tern? Before you head to the shop, grab your pump and check your tyre pressure.

As you can see on the gauge in this clip, we tested this at 20 PSI. At that low pressure, the sidewalls can't support the weight of a longtail cargo bike, leading to that "speed wobble" or oscillation.

The Solution:
Bringing it up to 45-50 PSI (the sweet spot for Tern 20” rims) transforms the ride.

Stability: No more shaking.

Efficiency: Better battery range.

Safety: No more "squishy" cornering with the kids on the back.

Save this post so you have the PSI numbers handy the next time you’re at the pump!
