It is cute indeed, Grace. Also it is slow, takes forever to accelerate and costs a fortune in fuel, approx 33 to the gallon! 😳 Still, they are popular and it will be great for the right person 😁 Hope UJs mum is comfy and that you and Himself are coping with everything. xx Wow maggy,that mpg is pants,bet you 're glad you sold it?our old skoda,1.4 was equally pants,bought a 2 l rav 4, I put £40 in to visit family,Skoda more often had to top up to make sure I got back.same amount put in this weekend,a tad further,still enough to run around for the week!ujs mum is home,found out it's heart failure,I know that dosnt mean exactly what it says,but gives me the twitches,as for different reasons it's how my mum started her decline🙁 ...productive few days here tho.previous van owner left a massive sofa,and all their minging carpents,which have sat outside since last june.the good weather gave us a kick up the arse,carpet cut and rolled,sofa,sawn and smashed.all now up the tip!dogs walked early,so got a tad damp as the 4pm rain arrived early,also cut some overhanging hedge as a treat for the goats...and chill until evening feeds😁 |

I have managed to lose the charger for my little step through. I have searched online and cannot find an original for that bike, but although I've ordered a cheap one, these are the things that cause ebike fires, so I'll not dare charge it indoors.
As the battery on this bike is near the end of its life, the bike only takes me to the shops and back anyway, so I've ordered myself a brand new ebike, an Eleglide M1 Plus 29"; and I can't wait for it to arrive.
If the proper charger turns up, I'll keep tge wee one for shopping as it does the job, the new bike can be for exploring.
For some reason I am unable to upload a photo, my phone permissions need looking at and I can't be arsed with fiddling around with them currently.

I meant to ask how you were getting on with your bike.

I meant to ask how you were getting on with your bike. I love the step through, tbh, and I'm pissed off that the charger is missing, it is perfect for shopping and while I use very good locks and plenty of them, I am far less worried about it being targeted by thieves than modern MTB or cargo bikes, as it doesn't look the part. When the big one turns up I will also be carrying good locks, but am not planning on leaving it unattended while I'm in a shop. If you know anywhere I can get a new charger for a Milan 2 LPX, I'll be very happy. It's an old bike though and all the links so far are broken. |

I'd guess any charger for a 36v battery will work, it will just be a case of matching the connector or changing the connector to fit,if you know how many amps the old charger put out I'd buy the same size because the bms in the battery may not allow faster charging.

HOWEVER ..... how's about trying a carboot sale ... good way of selling stuff on (for other people to do up if they give enough of a shit) ... making a few quid back, meeting and sharing ideas wi others and NOT GIVING IN TO DESPAIR .... ALL THE BEST - keep giving shit a go ... one mans crap is another mans treasure n all that - big love .... |

Definitely want some 'turd' socks now Lol. Weather this morning was horrendous and I was in a foul mood so we set off for the beach Sun started to come out about half way there, had a lovely breakfast looking out over the sea followed by a nice walk. Tried to take some pics of Arran but the cloud was so low you can't really tell the difference between the sea, the land and the sky Was all very nice so decided a doughnut was in order. Home again now, sun has departed but it's dry which makes a nice change so might do some garden pottering now. Hope everyone is having a lovely day |

I sat around waiting for my bike to be delivered. Just checked the tracking as it's quarter to nine, and 'arrives today' has mysteriously changed to expected to arrive 9th or 10th.
