Hi All, I have been a member of the Pedelecs group for many years and have been more than interested in E-bikes ever since my visit to the Tour of Presteigne when it was a thing! They have come on leap and bounds since those days! To cut a long story short I am awaiting knee surgery to...

Thanks for the knowledgeable response, it's a bit of a minefield and I am grateful for the steers. One question I have - I have just seen a Specialized Levo in a local dealership - is whether this does have the Brose motor, thinly disguised at Specialized's own? If so does anyone have an opinion...

A consideration I had not made...I don't think I am brave enough to buy second hand!

Excellent and detailed review, I will certainly add to my list!

Well I introduced myself about 10 years ago, then I couldn't make my mind up what I wanted, had lots of good advice, tried several bikes and even went to Presteigne - a great day out! I did however get seriously into road bikes and still am - many thousands of miles later. However, I am still...

Me too - well last night anyway.

In pursuit of the 'perfect' bike I had a great day in Presteigne yesterday; like a kid in a sweet shop! As a result I am more confused than ever! I really liked the 'claud butler' framed Cytronix. (I didn't want to hand it back!), it looked like I could still pedal even when the battery died...

Hi Andy, Thanks for showing us around yesterday, we really enjoyed trying out the different types! I think that I am now more inclined to the pedelec system - although, I could get very used to a throttle only e-bike! I was much taken with your new e-motion city, once I had mastered the hill...

Synergie or Alien Hi Sammy06forever, Have you made a decision yet? I have been looking at both too. I am not sure whether a rear hub motor or a front hub is best. I suspect that the Alien Gents Special would be more suitable for me - being quite tall. Looking at their advert styles I would...

Thank you JamesC / Barnowl / Django, I will definately make a point of visiting OnBike and maybe get down to Presteigne on 'the' weekend. The more I read the more confused I get, I think it will only be resolved if I actually see the metal. I've been out tonight on my ordinary bike and it really...

Hi everyone, I have just joined the forum (said 'hello' in the introduce yourself bit!). I have been looking around for the last 12 months. I'm trying to 'wean' myself out of my car, I have a 'human-powered' push bike at the moment but unfortunately am struggling with a pair of dodgy kneecaps...
