Wishing Flecc a speedy recovery, his advice and willingness to help are always appreciated.

Thanks, thats useful and reassuring to know. It did cross my mind I had a lemon for a battery but if I get 25 miles out of it that would be plenty enough, I only have a 9 mile round trip commute.

Thanks Flecc, The charge I started with was what was given to me in the shop so maybe it was only half charge. I'll be able to try again in a couple of days it's currently in a garge 7 miles away so I'll have to wait for a chance to go and collect!

Hi, Thanks to everyone for their advice on getting started with an ebike. I’ve just got a Freego Kingfisher with a 10ah battery and picked it up new on Saturday. I probably covered about 10 miles on Saturday over mixed terrain using various levels of assist and even a couple of miles of...

Thanks for the advice so far. I'm starting to sway towards the bigger battery just got to find a bit more cash!

Thanks Bob thats really useful advice. My commute is only actually 4.5 miles although there are some serious slopes to climb, I guess 10ah will handle it no problem.

Hi Thanks for the advice. The one I tried was the larger capacity battery however it was not fully charged but still handled a 12 mile route with some serious hills really well. I'm in Newton Abbot South Devon, its generally pretty hilly round here. I guess the message is start saving for a new...

Hi, I posted on here a while ago asking for advice on choosing a bike for commuting. Well as spring is sort of here its time to take the plunge. I'm probably going to go for a Freego bike mainly as there is a dealer close to home so that problems etc can easily be sorted if they arise. They...

Thanks for that could be worth checking out

Thats useful to know that power and exercise aren't mutually exclusive. I'm no fitness fanatic but cycling is my way of doing myself a bit of good and if I can work that into my new commute all the better.:)

Interesting to see the different attitudes to power assist. I would quite like to feel I was at least getting some exercise but maybe a Wisper or a bike like that would make you work a bit in peddle assist, a lot are advertised saying you can arrive at work fresh and then work out on the way...

Thanks, Panasonic powered bikes are another thing to look at - are these the crank powered varity?

Good to know Thanks Flecc for helping rule something out and also another option I hadn't thought of.

Thanks for the tips Thanks for all the advice so far. I guess the next step is to go out, have some fun and do some testing! :) Bristol isn't too far for me so maybe I'll get up to Atmosphere Electric Bikes, thanks to Bob for that tip. I've also never really thought of the kit option so i'll...

Hi, I’m considering getting an e-bike an some advice / reccomendations would be appreciated so I hopefully make the right choice! I guess this is a good place to start as there’s lots of experience on here. I currently ride an unpowered low end hybrid for my 2 1/2 mile commute which I do...
