thanks for the advice - I see there is a deal at 50cycles for the 2012 Pro Connect S10 with the long range battery 18ah at £1950. This is the panasonic version. The much praised new bosch motor version is £300 more and has a battery thats half the size (8ah). Surely the bosch isn't worth that...
I have had a windfall and a new ebike is on the list. Currently have an Ezee Torq that has been wonderful but times move on.
Lots of helpful advice here on the forum but a few words on your own choice for this spend and why would be very helpful.
Thanks
good news and bad news
thanks for the tip flecc - the problem is sticky contacts but alas flicking the brakes only eases the problem for one or two brakings and then the bike is dead again with the 3 flashing led warning.
No idea where the contacts are or how to ease them - help!
Thanks
Hi - I have an Ezee Liv, only a year old that has stopped working.
It worked perfectly until i braked and then no power went to the motor. Its fully charged ( i swapped the battery into my Torq ) and there is an error code of 3 flashing lights.
I have checked connections in the switched...
Torq 5 LED error
Thanks for the prompt replies - i have only connected up the part as supplied by 50 cycles and they come with one way connectors so I can't see why an error code concerning the throttle should start as a result. It was working 100% before. I have given it all a check over but...
My power indicator switch on my Ezee Torq was faulty and so 50 cycles have sent me a new one. I have rewired the entire loom and the front and rear lights work fine but...no power to the motor even though the LED displays shows healthy green. The power on LED on the battery case is blinking with...
As a very keen E-cyclist i am very frustrated at the lack of action over cycle lanes from my county council - West Sussex.
I recently went to Newbury where i was delighted to see that they have opened up the pavements to cyclists. It was a joy to move bike around knowing that i was protected...
Ezee Liv
I have had a number of electric bikes over the years including the giant lafree, as well as the Ezee Torq. Recently my wife purchased Ezee Liv and the price and performance is breathtaking.
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Liv - get along and have a test ride and you will be...
i am tall !
6 foot 3" here Torq owner here - the Torq is perfect for a taller rider. I think only the Torq has the big 28" wheels so you can really feel king of the road...don't settle for second best...
ouch
i have just replaced the grips on my torq with some that are more padded.
One final twist to get the new grip on the throttle one lined up correctly resulted in a quiet "click" noise and now i find that the throttle is permanently on - by twisting the other direction there is a small...
My wife has a Giant Lafree - had it for 3 years and rates it highly. The dreaded cost of a new battery is raising its head as she now only gets about 10 miles per charge.
I was wondering about ebaying it and getting her a new Ezee Sprint with a lithium battery. She uses it mostly for town work...

Giant Twist price revised
Thanks for the work that you do in the Forum Flecc - my Giant definitely does have the nexus hub.
My asking price is based on the well respected editorial advice in the A to B magazine who suggest that it was a good buy at less than £900. Check out...
the range started at £900
You are reading it wrong - the Giant Lafree range began at £900. They had 2 lower spec models with a more basic spec and at the very top end was this one large frame model with all the bells and whistles. I recall the price was £1395.
Thats £500 depreciation...
Any tips for good security locks on ebikes ? most insurers now stipulate minimum lock standards - what are people using out there? any thoughts on the Axa Basta range?
cheers
