    Hello from Stafforshire Moorlands

    Hello, I live in Cheadle Staffs and have just bought my first electric bike after many years of using a "normal" bike. I have an Avocet Lectro Peak Mountain e bike which too be honest I had never heard of but I like the look and feel of the bike and it has many generic parts. It goes well and I...
