Thanks for your reply. I assume an S-Ped is a "speed" version? Not sure if they are UK legal... and have not seen them advertised here? I am looking for a relatively light, easily stored, tourer that will give first rate pedal assistance over say, 40 miles, of mixed terrain.

I have had a faultless Ezee Forza for 8 years.. but it is heavy and beginning to show it's battery age. I carry my ebikes in a motorhome garkage... and have been tempted by the Winora Radius on account of folding handlebar and pedals ... but it is a crank drive? My only experience with a...

Sorry, did'nt see your query above! The original cateye odo says 2200 miles... after 8 years... and is about right... I do about 200-300 miles a year. This year in New Forest then France (taken in a motorhome garage) did about 120 miles... and for the first time think the battery is losing...

Well 7 years on and my Ezee Forza is still faultless, still as much fun, and not a single part has been replaced. Brilliant bike.

Took me blinking ages to read all those messages only to get no real answer - and anyway I'd buy another Forza.:D

Hmmm. Did anyone actually answer the question posed - which was - which bike to buy - Torq or 905se?

I think I'll stick with it as is.....it's as much fun as I need .... but you know these irresistable urges to fiddle with things that men get....Oh well.

Hmmm. But my forza at least has no throttle at all - just the EAF controller dial. The handlebar grips are just that - immovable dumb grips with no other purpose than being held or gripped (sometimes quite tightly when going too fast downill!). But definitely not a throttle twistgrip. Or am...

Flecc, you say "The Forza has a de-restriction option which can up speed to 20 mph or a bit more where that's permitted on private land or roads. It can also be operated on twistgrip throttle only, or by power with pedalling only." At the risk of causing you to repeat advice you my have given...

Well I like my Forza 1950's space age dial. It works as well and looks as good as my 1950's design Dualit toaster! Good designs allied to good taste always win out!

The Ezee Assistance control on the Forza (the "cruise control") is perhaps the best feature....feeling chipper set it low and a degree of rider effort is required. Set it at high and very little effort is required of the rider - even on steepish hills - and 15 mph is sustainable for as long as...
