Ha ha neither do I. It's certainly worth asking!

Agreed. I can buy additional equipment but according to 2 shops that I have spoken to I cannot put money towards the bike itself as that is not a separate purchase as that will be held under the hire purchase agreement.

The limit has increased to £2.5k. But, Cyclescheme currently have a legal battle with the Government over something to do with that (my HR department were a bit sketchy on the details) so the long and short of it is, that they are not currently offering over £1k. If an independent bike shop...

Thanks BaseUK. Unfortunately I've just been told that with the cycle to work scheme you can only spend up to the voucher value and it is against the law to pay over that voucher value, which seems a bit counter productive if you ask me. So after weeks of research I am stuck with a maximum of...

Not going to be able to test ride them both due to the location. As long as they do a reasonable job I will be happy.

It's decision time! The cycle to work vouchers are in but only £1k as I couldn't get any more. I have narrowed it down to either a Raleigh Strada Elite (2018) or Cyclotricity Revolver Hybrid Is the Raleigh worth me spending £500 extra for a 5 mile journey to and from work each day, or will the...

My fitness level is average for a nearly 50 year old. But, I am a very slow rider on my current Correra Crossfire so need all the help that I can getting up that long hill on the way home (from Salford Quays to Heaton Park if anyone wants to look it up). I will pop into Cycle Republic next...

Thanks lutin and Neath. There certainly is a lot to consider and I think that I am split down the middle! I'm not sure that it is my biggest consideration but definitely I am in a better position for knowing this and I will do some more research before making my purchase.

Nope. not taken any test rides. Is there really that much difference between different bikes? I live near to Cycle Republic so will pop in there when I am ready to make my purchase as they seem to have a good range at a good price and they have most of the ones on my list except for the Forme.

Thanks Fat Rat. To be honest, I haven't looked into the drive types. As long as it helps me peddle I don't really mind. I am sure that this has been discussed in great detail elsewhere and I am not a purist with regard to this. I just want it to be light, quick to charge and to go a good...

Call me crazy but I contacted them and within 20 minutes they replied (impressive). The bike, including battery, is aprox 22kg. So not bad for a pedelec.

I was looking at the Whoosh Karoo as it is much lighter than the Camino but they (you?) are updating it to the next model in November and I'm not sure about waiting that long. Also, the battery on the new Karoo is integrated so I would not be able to charge it.

Hi all, I have just got myself a new job and am waiting for the cycle to work vouchers to be approved. I used to cycle to work but my new job is a bit far for me (45 mins uphill on the way home) so I am going all out electric. I am pushing 50 with moderate fitness and love cycling (and hate...
