Try Cytronex Perhaps
Hi
Like you, I am new to this and have found the various threads extremely helpful in deciding what to purchase.
Being over 50 ( the exact age shall remain a closely guarded secret)
and pretty unfit though not over weight and living in Bristol (Notorious for its hills) I recently had my Marin urban bike stolen which my son had borrowed to revise at the central library.
So then came the decision what to buy !
I had looked at electric assisted bikes about 5 years ago and decided the battery technology wasn't there yet, but I was pleasantly suprised to find (through these pages) that things had moved on a bit.
Having looked at various models I was coming to the point that they where all far too heavy and many of them left a lot to be desired in the design department.
By that I mean how they performed and indeed looked.
The advent of the Mountain Bike 15/20 years ago helped a huge way to make owning a bike sexy.
If we are going to get people out of there cars and onto bikes ( me included) especially in places like Bristol then not only the technology has to be right but visual appeal must be there as well.
Through these pages I came across references to Cytronex and here seemed to be the answer for me ! .
A standard middle market Trek urban bike with the required bits added and some clever design touches ,like the battery and how it was dealt with.
The bike is relatively light and has the option (once I have my Cycling legs back ) to use the motor hub front wheel or indeed a standard front wheel .
I have a choice !!
Having said that , it's just so much fun as it is.
Anyway worth a look,................ I did ,and bought one.
Cheers
