    Elysium Loop

    Hi All After posting on here a little while back about a bike that was deemed to be too high powered for an e-bike i took a look around at more road legal e-bikes and wanted to still purchase from the same company so i went ahead and bought myself an Elysium loop which is a restricted 250w road...

    Elysium Bikes

    Good Morning All I had previously asked about Elysium Relay bikes 500W but didn’t get much advice. I just realized I hadn’t shared the link to the product, here it is: https://ebikefactory.com/uk/commuter-electric-bikes-2/elysium-relay-17-500w-21ah.html Does anyone have experience with...

    Elysium Relay 500w 21Ah

    Hi All Looking at getting one of the Elysium relay bikes in 500w. I currently have a stealth 1000w but feel the power of the 1000w is not really needed for the type of journeys i now have to do. Was going to go for one of the Elysium relays in 500w just in case i want to use this option off...

    Hi There, I like the sound of shops and such likes getting together for doing a charging scheme for when you are passing by as this sort of promotes being a bit more social whilst out e-biking. Would definitely be a help to the community. Ross

    Newbie with a question

    Hi there and welcome to the forum, I have had that issue myself before but not with the same bike if i am honest, i am not 100% sure why there is a limit on the speed of an e-bike that means you cant do more than 15.5 MPH as there are plenty of other cyclists out there who do way more than that...

    Hello from Scotland!

    Hi sefunlekite, Totally with you on that, among other things having two kids and a pretty demanding job make it difficult to have the time to get out and about. How are you looking to build your bike? with a kit or with a full frame set up and add to it etc? Either way there are plenty of...

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    I had no idea they had a stealth page on Facebook I will have to have a gander, may be useful to have a page I can go to with any questions and stuff like that! As for the motors, those do look to be the ones.

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    Yeah I agree with you there, its not fantastic without the assistance but then again it is designed to have that assistance there! even riding mine without the battery isn't great but its better than when I have ran it flat and just kept on going. I have seen all the upgrades you have made to...

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    I have found it to be quite good a pulling up hills to be honest! I recently went out to a local trail place and the conditions were pretty sloppy, it didnt really bog down too much in the slop and i found it to pull uphill quite well still even doing the odd wheel spin when it got very steep Ross

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    That's looking a bit different! But at least you still have all the cyclotricity gear on there, been looking at doing a conversion on a bike of mine as well as having my stealth, see what usage I can get from it sort of thing, maybe a bit more of a project Ross

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    I had a go of the 500w before i bought my 1000w and i enjoyed it but i was a bit of a sucker for the extra power! its so much fun at high speed. Its really good for a day out on some mild trails with an extra battery. I think the motors are just a standard direct drive motor hub, seen quite a...

    Cyclotricity Stealth

    I have had my Cyclotricity Stealth for some time now and done around 3000 miles on it so I thought it was high time I made a review of what I think and what its capable of I started off with the standard stealth 1000w 12Ah 20 inch frame. It was getting about 10 miles from the 1000w mode which...

    Hello from Tyneside

    Sounds like you are having a great time with it there and i definitely like the sound of the stationary gear changes for when stopping and setting off again that sounds great! good customer service there with the forks too, good to see company's that think about their customers and wanting to...
