Harumph. I paid £50 for a second-hand one the other week. And it was a copper who sold me it. And my passenger wants a new one. The front flap doesn't quite keep all rear-wheel spray out and he often tells me "bumpy ride!" when we get home. The truth is, he has seen his Nursery friend's...

I had this occasionally on my Agattu. I had the rear wheel off to fix a puncture this morning, then when I rode to work, it was slipping like crazy. I had neglected to position the chain tensioner properly when I put the back wheel on. In rectifying this, I noticed that it was a bit sticky on...

Well, I have switched to a trailer - a friend had one for sale, so I thought I'd try it out. The little 'un loves it, although we can no longer chat as much as we used to (perhaps that's why he likes it...). It's certainly heavier / more noticeable going up hills! But I'm happy that he has...

Thanks for the replies. Red faces all round at Levelgaze Towers, however: it turns out my other half had twice switched off power to the charger without my knowing. When I then went to check charging progress, and found the lights all out, I had put the battery back on the bike... So, I was...

Hm. I had been wondering (after my first week of using my Agattu for my very short commute) whether short trips offer poorer battery performance. I cycle 4 miles a day - 3.5 in Standard and .5 uphill in High. Each day knocks out one light on the handlebar indicator, and the battery low light...

There are front-mounted child seats available - I like the idea, for the reasons you state (and also, of course, since the child might act as an airbag in case of a collision...).

A 'bloke in a bike shop' told me that he felt that trailers were better when your ride was mainly on cycle paths; seats better when dealing with traffic.

I have been agonising over this a bit recently, too. The prime safety advantage of trailers over seats is that they (allegedly) are likely to stay upright if the bike goes over onto its side. I can't commit myself to the idea of my little 'un being down at wheel level in a flimsy...

Danny-K, my (ahem) stats are not dissimilar to yours - I am also an inveterate (and happy) smoker, and have only recently taken up cycling again after 20-odd years. I have had my Agattu for a couple of weeks, and it has been an outright pleasure to ride, both alone and with my 2.5 year old on...

I was tempted by the anti-chic of the classic yellow poncho, but decided to take it one step further by going for these babies instead.

Ah, there should be a key as well as the lever, should there? I can see where it should go. That's a pity - I'll get onto the supplier. On the plus side, at least it wasn't me being dumb... Thanks for the help. Jim

Thanks for the suggestion, fishingpaul. There doesn't seem to be any space for the key to turn - assuming the black triangular thing is the grip of a key. A minimalist diagram on said grip seems to suggest that you push it in and slide it down, but it neither pushes in nor seems willing to slide.

I have just taken delivery of an Agattu. What a lovely thing - I found myself giggling with pleasure when riding it, which was probably disturbing for passers-by. I am puzzled by the Abus lock on the rear wheel - how on earth does it work? I assume that the key (if that's what it is - the...
