Dave Ewing's Back 'eader
Well-Known Member
There's bound to be one lurking on this forum. I have a query! I rode my electric bike to Hebden Bridge yesterday in order to deposit used Tassimo coffee pods at the RSPCA charity shop. After marvelling at the new tarmacadam surface on the way into Todmorden my motor starting cutting out, and continued to cut out whenever I switched the fucking (scientific term) thing back on again. After a pleasant latte at The Watergate Cafe the same thing occurred until I reached Gordon Riggs garden centre on the way back. For those unfamiliar with the technology of a Tassimo coffee machine the pods are plastic with an aluminium top. I had a substantial cargo - rear basket stuffed, two rear panniers loaded. I wonder if the aluminium 'shroud' had 'confused' the electric transmission - in much the same way that aircraft squirt out 'chaff' when there's a nasty missile chasing its arse. Or is it that my electric bike doesn't like going to Yorkshire?
