I have just been told that I may have to move my base of work - long involved story and partly covid related
Its a long commute ( for me) and my ebike is knackered. I can try to get a new motor for it but doubt I can get one quickly enough.
Anyone in edinburgh lend or hire to me an ebike or add on kit? Or any other ideas? It would only be for a few weeks
Thanks
Taxi / Bus / tram / train / car / gyrocopter / canoe / jetpack ?
Welcome to the world of people who have to work somewhere that isn't near their house.
It's a bitch, ain't it?
Yes.
I have an Orbea Katu-E with pannier bags and a big front rack you can have for a while if you want?
I’ve Got no time for these people with unsustainable lifestyle perchy !
None at all mate
Public transport is out. Infection risk to me and to other passengers. I don't own a car. Jet pack would be good
I used to work in the same area and had to buy an ebike because i was getting knackered at my age but mine has now gone kaput. I can get another motor for mine but doubt I can get it quickly enough - just got a week to sort it out.
YGH
You really are a hero. I'll get back to you if it pans out I need to
Only joshing tj
Good luck mate and cheers for the frontline graft
Comes with lock, pump, kickstand, bottle opener and a cracking bell
They’ve thought long and hard about the aesthetics of that one
I realise that nonk - live by the sword and die by it! 🙂

I genuinely snorted tea at that.
Serious point though, this could help you out:

Is that a dig bowl under that Orbea?
Don't go TJ. It's a trap!
Oh aye, it's "unique". Not super-aero, probably needs a trispoke front wheel and a disk one at the back to realise its true potential.
However, it's a great town/commuter bike - very well thought out.
It's my cats timer feeder thingy
Stand down YGH - I have found a supplier for a motor who can get it to me quickly enough
Thanks
Sorry to be nosey, but where are they moving you to?
I look forward to YGH's Joe Wicks-style online kettlebell workout for schoolchildren during the lockdown
Phew TJ that was a close one managing to get that replacement motor
Hmmm, I didn't know who Joe Wicks was and thought you meant John Wick....
That £1/day hire deal for key workers is outstanding, well done Hertz.
Gauss - PM me
Hello YGH. What rack did you get for the rear? I've just got one of these too!
I just went to local bike recycling place and got closest one. Took a bit of bodging due to angles.
Get one with as many adjustments in all planes as possible!
Thanks again - I was in a bit of a panic this morning. New bb mount motor ( tongshen)is ordered and should be with me in time for this move.
Its funny - I am feeling fine mentally most of the time but easily go into panic mode
On the grand scale off things voming out of a period isolation back into the biggest test the nhs has been put through in a long time thats fairly understandable.
