Which make of electric bike(s) do you own or considering purchasing?

Hi everyone, I have a Cyclone electric bike.

I missed that it was a multiple choice poll so additional entries blocked.
In fact I've got a Giant Lafree converted to SRAM P5 before Giant thought of doing it, an eZee Torq and an eZee Quando II. Now the Giant is discontinued, I'm preserving it just for towing my big trailer on recycling duties etc. Photos here: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fleccb/transport.html
I've also been known to get my car out occasionally, but sometimes have to charge the battery first!

Funny enough I have just won a trailer on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

The pictures are deceptive as it is larger than it looks.

That's a great bargain Ian, and it's also unusually big for a commercial trailer, but still not enough for me. I just couldn't find anything big enough for my purposes, hence having to make the one I linked to which has internal dimensions of 100 x 65 cm so that I can carry fridges, cookers, furniture etc.

How do you guys find the load on your bike? Does it affect the performance much and in what way - pulling away/cruising etc ?

I haven't fitted mine yet, I am trying to devise a fitting method.

Welcome aboard!

How are you finding the chopper? What made you pick this particular model?

Mine is an Ezee Torq. I used to have an electro drive fitted on a lovely old Marin hybrid but local Yoofs had it away.

The Torq is brilliant. It is no steep hill climber but it allows you to do most other trips with ease. I ditched my car as a result. I am moving down to the West Country soon and fear that I shall have to find a more hill friendly companion. Any suggestions, folks?
