Just waiting for batteries to arrive then will be fitting E-Assist. Need to be able to do more than the current 10Km and need help up hills!

Sandals with cleats. Due to a MTB accident 3yrs ago that left me with a spina\l cord injury now ride a 3 wheel recumbent trike. Need to clip my feet in but cannot get my feet into shoes. https://za.ciclimattio.com/s/shimano/sd500-shoe-2019/?id=20202&m=31226&d=108338.

Forget to add, you are only allowed two "GIFTS" per year.

I brought in some Shimano sandals from the UK last year. Invoice must be clearly marked GIFT, and value must not exceed R1500.00. You are not charged VAT or import duty, They still tried to charge me VAT and duties and I had to phone the shipping agent and tell them to read the invoice properly!!

Hope it works for you, rode my bike for 5yrs with no cable rattle and it was a cheap solution.

Go to any motorcycle dealer or scooter spares dealer, they should have a range of mirrors, including ones that clamp on the bars and ones that fit in the end of the bars. Rearview is excellent, I use them on my Tadpole trike.

Thanks. Now I need to figure out if there is a way to avoid the 15% duty if I import a recumbant trike from Taiwan which is shipped in one carton with complete parts since it is for use by a disabled person

Just received this article from EBay regards imports new regs https://www.gov.za/services/import/individual-or-personal-goods Do you now need a permit to import tyres??

Some pics to give you a better idea!

Get some soft plastic tubing from local hardware store, or pet shop that supplies tubing for fish tanks. If you don't want to remove cables, first slit tube in it's length and feed it into the frame over the cable, taping it with insulation tape every 100mm or so. Works perfectly. Had the same problem with my Trance, nearly drove me crazy.

Think you reading the winds speed in knots not km/hr my friend.

As far as I know the "Freeway" only starts at the Koeburg interchange and there are signs posted at the bridge. From there into town is not highway, hence the reduction on speed limit as well. Be interesting to get some opinion on this. Also rode the cycle track into town on Sunday Morning and was shocked by the amount of "homeless" people occupying this area. Does not feel safe riding that area at all as incidents prove!

Anybody ever bought from these guys?? http://www.asiancyclexpress.com/ Prices look good, but is the free shipping really free?
