a bike for the rector I have a trek cytronex -still very good - and I was showing it to our Rector, who is interested in a good but inexpensive e bike to get him around his four parishes. He had a motorbike accident (I hope he wont mind me mentioning) a while ago so he has less muscle power in...

worst hill there are probably lots of worse ones, but for me personally getting from butcombe to blagdon then up to the top (heading towards priddy) all in one go is my particular hill-noir

The button pushing became natural by ride 2 on the trek. I always wondered why my muscle power never seemed to add more than about 2-3 mph to the electric power of the forza. It must be fairly inefficient. What the boffins have spent hours and pages trying to explain in these pages in a...

The design rationale for an electric bike (that mark has cleverly understood) is you need to keep the most rideable aspects of a good light road bike and just add a powerful hill climbing tool, thats all. The electric part of the bike is absolutely minimal. I think this bike blows all the...

Hi Flecc 50 cycles has just had another go at fixing my bike problems this time with with total success. This involved me emailing and chatting to ken ching from ezee torq in china about the problems I was having (he thought the battery could be faulty). It turns out also that the motor was...

My contribution to the torq owners discussion about brake judder and gearing are as follows: I think the brake judder is worse in the wet. I have noticed it doesn't happen on the new giant bike, which is of a broadly similar design. 50 cycles have changed the brake levers on mine but I don't...

could I fit a smaller chainwheel at the pedal end or a pair like a normal mountain bike?

50 cycles has had a go at sorting out the problems I have had with the bike whilst under warranty which is good. The brakes shudder a little bit less and they have put a larger chainwheel on the final easiest gear which helps a little with hills. The red light comes on just as quickly after a...

thank you very much for the advice - So its not really worth swapping the chainwheel. I cant see the sprint for sale. I will contact 50 cycles again, who dont seem particularly quick to respond; I rang them last week and filled in their fault email box but I have had no response so far.

ezee torq problems Hi, the red light comes on at around 2 miles into the ride. I would like to let the bike run out of power to test the range in restricted pedel assist mode but I am sure I could not ride it back home without walking it up the hills (even though I am a fit cyclist), whilst it...

lithium battery life I get two miles on an eeze torq on lithium when the red light comes on. I have had the bike since the summer and have ridden 69 miles - surely there must be a fault? I find 50 cycles pretty hands off when it comes to warranty help - does anyone else have problems?
