Hi everyone,

Firsly, congratulations on a very informative forum and website.

After riding a friends gtech and reading this forum over the weekend, and testing a very heavy Carrera Crossfire in Halfords, I decided to buy a gtech sport last night as I know I can return it Within 2 weeks if I am not satisfied.

After many years riding a motor bike and riding cycles in Holland where I lived for a while I am looking for a bike that I can commute to the train station which is 4 miles away, but results in a 1 mile steep hill climb on the way home. So looking for a lightweight, inexpensive road bike that will help my commute. I am mid 50’s now and a little overweight at 85 kilos, but I think an e bike will be an ideal solution.

I am not convinced the gtech sport will cut the mustard so to speak, but the hills where I live will be a good test. I also plan to visit Kudos to look at some crank powered as I read these will probably give me the torque needed for my hill climb.

I will share my experience with the bike if there is interest and will seek advice on alternatives.

Neil

Wisper/ Amps bikes are in 7oaks, have you popped in to take a look at their offerings, they have via David Miall a good presence on here and a very good cs service and parts availability.

Alternative to the Kudos Alamo/stealth have a look at the Woosh Karoo.

Thanks Neath,

Hi Neil, you would be most welcome to come and have a chat, and try a few bikes. We are on the Chaucer Trading Estate in Kemsing.

We currently have a good range of ex demo bikes, hardly used.

Please give me a call and I will look after you personally. 07733 226906

all the best, David

Hi David,

I called your number a few times yesterday (and also dropped by the shop). The van was there and security gate open, but you were closed.

I did have a good look at your bikes online, but I think the design and size of gtech will suit me fine now that I have it in my possession.

Thanks.

Neil

Hi Neil, thanks for your interest.

Sorry not to have been about for you.

We have a warehouse and work shop in Kemsing. We don’t ysually retail and don’t open at the weekend. Claud was in but could well have been at our other unit.

I am pleased that you currently feel the Gtech is right for you. It’s a nice bike.

If you have a change of heart we still have a few ex demos still available at reduced prices.

All the best, David
