    Earls Court Cycle Show

    I'd like to say a very big thank you to David and Steve at Wisper today. :) Great guys, so very helpful and willing to assist. With a few tweaks here and there, different mudguards, handlebars, etc I'm about to purchase my first bike :D Will try different cranks too, adjust seat etc. Popping...

    Swing cranks.

    That would be FAB!! At least I could put it on my bike and see if, as you suggested, it is the thing that makes the difference :) Then I'd be able sometimes to allow the PA to be used. I've pm'd you re payment and address. Many thanks again :)

    Swing cranks.

    No I agree re price. I have shown my independant cycle retailer to see if he could make/change the ones already on bikes.

    Swing cranks.

    Another very interesting idea we found after researching bits and bobs to help with my knee problems. Would mean the knee doesn't have to bend to such extreme angles. Anyone use them? Scroll down to Pulse, then click Swing Crank. Highpath Engineering, EGGring chainrings and Pulse cycle...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Very quick reply, as only just arrived back from day training; thanks for all the links re conversion kits, I am passing them through to the independant bike shop I visited. Really to see what he feels he can put the motor on. Allen, many thanks, I think you have just found a very important...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Definate food for thought, buy a new bike that I really like and have the motor fitted; there's a very good independant bike shop down here, that would hopefully be able to fit the motor too. I'd want someone that knows exactly what they are doing. Thanks, you have made us both think. :) Will...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Morning, I really don't want an electric scooter as they are too heavy for me and the main reason is that I want to go out with my partner agin over trails, country dirt roads etc. With a scooter I just wouldn't be able to do that. Hence I am after a stable, well built bike akin, as far as...

    2 New Juicy Bikes

    My heart wants a mountain bike :rolleyes: why on earth dosn't anyone make a female MTB :confused: I've always ridden one, for 40 odd years!! I prefer the riding position than being bolt upright, and yours looked slightly lower than other MTBs. But I really need to try one and feel how high...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Hi Tinker, I will do :) I am trying bikes with a 36v 10ah battery as it has to operate throttle only all the time. Just waiting to hear re Oxygen. Have tried this morning to get on and off my old mountain bike.....knees now killing me :( Shame, as I love the look of the mountain bikes...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Thanks very much David, I am awaiting a reply from Tim at 50cycles to see when the oxygen will be in stock, then we'll pop back up and try. I do like the feel of the wisper, however I like the look and style of the Oxygen, but they both appear to be alike on battery etc. I'd just like to get...

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Eddieo, I can't peddle at all and need to use the throttle the entire time, how do you feel it would do? I would be doing around a 8 mile trip, including a railway bridge, gradient max 10. Ta, :)

    Lifecycle electric bikes- anyone have one??

    Hi, yes budget has kind of gone out the window :rolleyes: That's where we went to try the Wisper Allen, however the other reason I am being swayed toward the Lifecycle is that the battery has a 5 year guarentee. All others have 2. Just wish I could find some decent reviews of the bike :)...
