    FOR SALE: Ezee Torq for sale ** SOLD **

    Hi again, After much delay, I set to fixing the bike yesterday. After much support from flecc, I discovered problem was simply dirty battery contacts. Problem now solved. Thanks Flecc! So, one operational Ezee Torq back up for sale. See earlier posts for description. It hasn't changed...

    FOR SALE: Ezee Torq for sale ** SOLD **

    Hi all, Sorry no response for ages. This is still for sale but you should know that it packed up on me on a ride the other day. No power showing anywhere. Checked battery fuse and that seems fine. Any ideas? Anyway, presupposing I can get it working again, is anyone interested in buying...

    FOR SALE: Ezee Torq for sale ** SOLD **

    Yep - this torq still for sale. It is moving to Cornwall on Thursday so get in quick! Given the price posted for the other torq here, I reckon I'll have to take some offers more round the £500 mark.

    FOR SALE: Ezee Torq for sale ** SOLD **

    That is because I have no idea! I paid £1100 a year ago. Offers around £850? Is that outrageous?

    FOR SALE: Ezee Torq for sale ** SOLD **

    Hi all, I have recently moved to Somerset and I am finding that my Torq just isn't cutting the mustard on hilly terrain. It was great for commuting in Farnborough but now I think I shall go back to a lightweight hybrid, perhaps with an ElectroDrive. Especially as I am about to move again -...

    Bike Insurance

    As I got rid of my car, I had a redundant rescue policy with the ETA (Environment Transport Association). I have changed this to a cycle rescue policy. I can now call them up if I get stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a puncture and they will come and pick up me and the bike and take me...

    Green recharging

    Hi mithril, The system was professionally installed but I helped! It would cost about £3200 installed depending on choice of mounting sytem, difficulty of access etc. You can get a grant on that too, reducing cost to £1700. I do get paid for the power produced. In fact a cheque arrived...

    Do you leave it locked outside at all?

    That sounds bad, doesn't it?! I'm not a criminal, promise!

    Do you leave it locked outside at all?

    Yep, agreed. I happily leave my Torq locked up anywhere. I use it instead of a car so it has to go where I want to go. Sometimes that is a dodgy estate or a dark alley. The chunky lock supplied by 50cycles seems pretty good to me. I always remove the Cateye though!

    Green recharging

    Aaaah. My fave subject. Apologies too for perhaps overindulgent posting on my first day. It is just so nice to talk Torq for a few hours! Until a few days ago, I had a 510Wp solar PV system installed on my roof (It has come down, ready for my house move). It connected into my household...

    Cyclist age

    Yep, I am over 30 and have a beer belly. I probably could get fit and ride a conventional bike but I like to drink beer and ride an electric bike. I haven't seen any young electric bikers, ever!

    Maximum commute range & extra battery?

    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to slide a spare battery into the space where the superfluous water bottle holder is and have a changeover switch?

    Which make of electric bike do you own?

    Mine is an Ezee Torq. I used to have an electro drive fitted on a lovely old Marin hybrid but local Yoofs had it away. The Torq is brilliant. It is no steep hill climber but it allows you to do most other trips with ease. I ditched my car as a result. I am moving down to the West Country...

    How many electric bikes do you see out on the roads?

    I confess, I wasn't looking too hard, so I didn't notice how big they were!! One doesn't like to stare!! It was just nice to see fellow electro bikers. :)

    Torq dynamo light

    Hi all, Second bulb went on my front dynamo light a few days ago. I reckon the bike just goes too quick sometimes and overloads the bulbs. I have now fitted a regulator supplied to me by a bike shop. They explained upon looking at the bike that the dynamo is designed to supply front and...
