    £2500 to spend - what would you choose?

    thanks for the advice - I see there is a deal at 50cycles for the 2012 Pro Connect S10 with the long range battery 18ah at £1950. This is the panasonic version. The much praised new bosch motor version is £300 more and has a battery thats half the size (8ah). Surely the bosch isn't worth that...

    £2500 to spend - what would you choose?

    I have had a windfall and a new ebike is on the list. Currently have an Ezee Torq that has been wonderful but times move on. Lots of helpful advice here on the forum but a few words on your own choice for this spend and why would be very helpful. Thanks

    Ezee Liv 3 flashes on LED error

    good news and bad news thanks for the tip flecc - the problem is sticky contacts but alas flicking the brakes only eases the problem for one or two brakings and then the bike is dead again with the 3 flashing led warning. No idea where the contacts are or how to ease them - help! Thanks

    Torq LED error codes

    Torq 5 LED error Thanks for the prompt replies - i have only connected up the part as supplied by 50 cycles and they come with one way connectors so I can't see why an error code concerning the throttle should start as a result. It was working 100% before. I have given it all a check over but...

    Torq LED error codes

    My power indicator switch on my Ezee Torq was faulty and so 50 cycles have sent me a new one. I have rewired the entire loom and the front and rear lights work fine but...no power to the motor even though the LED displays shows healthy green. The power on LED on the battery case is blinking with...

    Cycling on pavements

    As a very keen E-cyclist i am very frustrated at the lack of action over cycle lanes from my county council - West Sussex. I recently went to Newbury where i was delighted to see that they have opened up the pavements to cyclists. It was a joy to move bike around knowing that i was protected...

    i am tall ! 6 foot 3" here Torq owner here - the Torq is perfect for a taller rider. I think only the Torq has the big 28" wheels so you can really feel king of the road...don't settle for second best...

    ezee sprint

    My wife has a Giant Lafree - had it for 3 years and rates it highly. The dreaded cost of a new battery is raising its head as she now only gets about 10 miles per charge. I was wondering about ebaying it and getting her a new Ezee Sprint with a lithium battery. She uses it mostly for town work...
