If you wish to have any work completed we will be book you in at the earliest available opportunity, but this may not be the same-day. Yes, however we are unable to work on any non-Halfords electric bike where we need to complete electrical work, as this is due to access to spare parts and often voiding the manufactures warranty. We can still complete mechanical work on non-Halfords electric bikes. I hope that they have really switched-on transport consultants on board, who can help resolve the outstanding concerns.
As I mentioned I believe this bike is aimed at someone who is not going to do particularly technical or serious rides. For that you need a nice easy and comfortable bike that is practical to use, and so far the Kentfield ticks this box. For those of you who don’t know, Marin is a bike company originating from California who since 1986 have been renowned for making amazing mountain bikes. kent road bike They have since branched out and now produce a range of drop bar bikes, a few of which we have had the pleasure of riding and reviewing. This is the first hybrid bike from Marin we have used and so we were excited to see what it had to offer. Sometimes we may ask you to leave your bike with us so we can get one of our trained mechanics in place and / or order in the required parts.
Having made such provision (by means of an agreement to use existing car parks), it is now National Highways who are calling for a traffic assessment, given the number of people who may now choose to drive instead of public transport/active travel. Chief among National Highways’ concerns is the requirement for a more detailed traffic and transport assessment to be carried out, especially in relation to Brompton’s desire to not include any car parking spaces at its site. As part of any repair or service kent electric bike we check the bike to assess if any additional repairs are required. If we recommend additional work, we will provide you with a no obligation cost estimate and ask if you want to proceed or not. The only way to get people to use bikes as a commuting vehicle or walking is by making it more convenient to use a bike, not the making of 0 parking spaces. There is always a situation where a car is needed; if you are disabled, transport big and bulky items, long distances to commute, that kind of stuff.
They offer great traction when riding thanks to these small plastic raises on both sides. These little touches just add to the ease of the whole experience that you aren’t slipping on the pedals at all which if you are using it around town especially in the wet can be really helpful. We obviously don’t use this bike for long trips – anything between minutes generally. In that time it’s all very relaxed and smooth chatting as we go. The one aspect which makes it all a little strange is the super wide handlebars.
There are mounts for bottle cages, mudguards and a kickstand – all you could possible need to attach to the bike. This makes it even more practical and ready for comfortable dry riding. The brakes a mechanical disc brakes which work absolutely fine. My only concern would be the ability for the average at-home mechanic to service and fix these should they go wrong, or to perform some basic maintenance along the way.
