dear all, thanks for the replies. Sorry for slow response - sick children - haven't even had a chance to try out new bike yet:-( E-motion Off road 650 for those interested :-) (panasonic crank drive) atb y:)

Hi all, wasn't sure where to post this so trying here, please tell me if it belongs elsewhere (is it Technical...?). When riding I found I used assist on the hilly bits and turned off motor when I didn't need the help. However, did notice that if I left motor on all the time it went quiet...

Hi all, has anyone noticed this: Shop | Electric Bicycle Network They are selling off a number of 'nearly new' and used bikes. Would have liked to try one out myself but need to be able to fit my own rack and the battery is mounted (quite neatly) on the rack:-( All the best y:)

Thanks for the clarification flecc. I've decided to go for the 650 offroad....just got to get the credit card through now.

Thanks so much Bob. Wish I could have tried your bike but not able to and so have to go with my limited experience, theory and advice available here which means one of the crank driven models that at least I have been able to try out with trailer and children. Regards y:)

Hi again, I had a quick look at your website. There seems to be very little info about the bikes. e.g. The Sport2011 would be the most likely candidate - it looks very long in top tube. What's the frame size? Oh and where are you? thanks y:)

thanks John

Thanks flecc, I obviously haven't read the technical FAQs as thoroughly as I could have :-)) I also welcome your further explanation of the direct drive unit behaviour. As I have two junctions to negotiate as well as children who do occasionally squabble in the trailer (yes, really!) help...

Hi Bob, thanks for your suggestion and for your compliment. Thing is, I want a bike that will assist my pedalling, not a throttle controlled one....I've got a motorbike if I want that kind of control ;-) (....and I did consider a sidecar but they're even more pricey than an electric bike) I also...

Thanks Tim. Have to say that the comment about almost wheelie-ing it you made previously isn't encouraging for someone who wants to tow a load uphill :-) Also curious...the panasonic crank driven bikes need to be pedalled at a relatively low cadence to get maximum assist (and I'm most likely to...

thanks Thanks for that. May drop them a line, although at first glance most of their likely candidates seem to have rack mounted batteries. That's no good for me as I have a dedicated rack for the trailerbike that I also want to tow :-)

Hi all, I'm on the verge of buying a pedelec - my requirement is to be able to tow one or two small children in a trailer up the foothills of the Malverns (to school). Also to be able to tow a single child on a trailerbike. I'm not a particularly fast or strong cyclist but have always cycled. I...
