Reviewer: Mike Button
Retailer: 50 Cycles
Purchase Price: 1200
Time Owned: 4 months
Terrain: Some minor hills
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Very sturdily built and great looking. I've only had the bike for 4 months (purchased Nov 07) but so far no problems at all and it's performance has exceeded expectations. A couple of the reviews here have mentioned poor lights and poor front brakes but I guess these have since been upgraded. I think the lights are excellent, especially the rear light. The front brake is now disk and I certainly do not get any shuddering when braking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
The gearing does make hill climbing unassisted rather hardwork. No problem when you turn the throttle though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Despite having had the bike over the winter months I've used it almost daily and I'm now looking forward to the warmer weather and more trips to the Norfolk countryside. With regard to battery miles per charge this varies a lot on how much you decide to assist with pedel power! I'd also like to mention the great help I received from 50 cycles re: the Cycle to Work scheme which my employer readily agreed to.

Overall Rating: 9
