    Raleigh Motus anybody else got experience of them.

    Hi Ned, I've just spotted this and thought I'd respond, even if you don't see it for a while. I got my Motus in July having developed a problem with my eyesight and so wasn't able to drive. It's been very reliable and a proper workhorse; I live up a HUGE hill and I can get home quite easily...

    Hi Donna, Sorry I've not replied sooner, I've been away on holiday and offline for while. I've now had the Raleigh Motus for a few months and am regularly commuting on it, riding to the station and taking the train into the city. I also do a fair few miles all over Manchester at the weekends...

    Raleigh Motus - charger wanted for Bosch Power Pack 400Wh, 36V

    I've just bought a Motus for my commute and would ideally like to keep a charger at work. Before I buy one from the supplier, does anyone have a spare one they want to sell? Thanks.

    I thought the wheels looked really big till I got on it and then it was absolutely fine - I think I'd quickly get used to it - and because the seat post went down I could easily touch the floor as well. As for the colour, matt black sounds pretty cool!!

    Hi All

    Hi Ned, I've just been to try a Raleigh Motus today and was really impressed by it. I'm now torn between the Kalkhoff Agattu and the Motus; I've noticed there is a Bosh bike computer with an integral sat nav that can be purchased as an upgrade with the Motus, do you have that?

    Thanks for all the input; I've now ridden the Volt Kensington and took a trip to New Mills to look at the decent range there, had a ride on a Juicy bike and a Raleigh Motus (thanks for the tip JuicyBike & Angel North). The guy at the shop was really helpful and very knowledgeable. Being just 5'...

    I hadn't even thought about the additional battery idea, or the extra charger! And as I've tracked down a Volt Kensington in Preston I may go and take a look at it as it's a lovely looking bike. And at half the price of the Kalkhoff I could justify buying the extra kit. As for maintaining...

    Thanks RobF & Derf - I hadn't realised my requirements would narrow the field quite so much and so I really appreciate your views and experience. I've been looking at the Volt Kensington today but struggling to find one I can go and ride so I think I may go with the Kalkhoff and have the...

    I was about the place my order for a Kalhoff this morning and found this forum. I'm a little unsettled by the Kalkhoff motor discussions and also wasn't aware of the vast range of bikes on offer. But my requirements are quite specific so I'd really appreciate the views of any experts out...
