Rob I would avoid digital scales unless you intend on spending big bucks.I do a lot of fishing and have went through a few scales,the problem is a lot of cheap digital scales have a large max weight(ie 40kgs).The larger the max weight the more accuracy you lose.If you are weighing bikes,a max weight you should go for is 20kgs.This scale will have a +- of 1oz.Go for a dial scale,far far more consistent.I use expensive scales but also have a set shown in the link and find them 100%.

I have the ones in the link, the needle is bent and weight seems to vary 1/4lb weighing the same fish...
I bought them from good reviews, so they must vary a lot.

EBay ones for £5 from China, mine are still going after a few years. Precise as I need and accurate to check against work calibration masses from 100g and on with known masses up to 13kg.

Can flip from lb/oz to kg/g easily.
 
Salter Electro Samson aren't the cheapest but they are pretty decent, they come in various capacities and division sizes. My job involves calibrating scales and I've never had to adjust an Electro Samson. In my experience no-name cheapo scales tend not to be very accurate.
