UPDATE Again thank you all for input. After speaking to our dealer on trade in values etc we are going to re-cell the batteries. In touch with Jimmy ....

We've had an older version of this one for about 7 years on back of motorhome. Heavily used rack beginning to show signs of age eg had to have a small bit of welding done, but overall it was a good purchase and I'd go for Atera again...

Thank you all, thats really useful input. The re-celling is tempting but with 2 bikes I think I'll trade in for new bikes. We like the Eagles but our dealer has stopped doing them (Electricbikescotland) so I might look at different makes eg Kalkoff (not Impulse!) It would be useful if we do...

We bought two of these in June 2013 and after initial glitches we've been delighted with these bikes. Mainly used in conjunction with our motorhome where they are carried on a towbar mounted rack (batteries carried inside). Anyone interested in more detail on the history of ownership can click...

I haven't posted on here for ages so thought I'd do an update on our findings. We bought 2 x Freego Eagles in June 2013, each with 16Ah battery. One bike wasn't working properly when we got it home from dealer. He discovered a loose connection so easily fixed. Very early on we had a series of...

My wife and I are still enjoying our almost 2 year old Eagles. After some initial teething problems (breaking spokes, cured by professional re-lacing) the bikes have long since settled down to become quiet, reliable, pleasant machines to ride and own. After care service also excellent ..... The...

Apologies. Will repost in FreeGo Wisper Group Clinic Arthur

Caliper replaced. Easy DIY - dealer sent me one. Seems to have done the trick

Thank you for responding. Its a Tektro Novela. Bike is still under warranty so dealer is simply going to do as you suggest ie replace the caliper Arthur

Fixed .... Had a tinker and stripped it down, reassembled, and its working. But its back to dealers as for some reason the pad(s) are not responding to the lever or they stick in housing .... not a pleasant experience when going downhill as happened on first failure! Arthur

Having said I was very happy with my Eagle on another thread yesterday, when out on my bike today the rear brakes failed! Thats the second time. The brake lever at the hub rotates through its full radius. The discs are present and do not appear displaced. On the first occasion my dealer - I...

I would be happy to pass on your regards but I tend to not communicate on any of his threads as he is clearly an 'expert' and knows everything about anything all the time and frankly I could not compete in such intellectual circles :) Will check out your thread Not planning on changing my Eagle...

I believe his name is Eddie. 'Judgemental' on m/home forum

This is genuinely interesting. I'm perfectly happy with my Freego Eagle but there is an 'expert' on a motorhome forum who decries "Chinese Junk" and for hill climbing "its got to be Panasonic or Bosch crank drive" and "Buy German" etc etc Now I'm no expert and have no vested interest in any...
