Christhanks Ratzakli.
i think the Cyclomatic Power Plus is at the top of my list at the moment. i nearly got a second hand one for about £300 but i was put off at the last minute. so for now i shall just wait until i can get one from a supplier instead of ebay.

The most powerful out of the box is the MTB but if you are prepared to change the chain ring and crank up from 44 teeth to at least 52 teeth then the folder really comes to life. I have a 57 tooth one on mine and Annes is a 55 tooth. The folder is quite low geared without the upgrade although to be honest if you wanted the bike for just running around town or just pleasure around the coast then no problems( Morag gets on fine with hers) I like to ride mine on the road and around the country lanes and thats why I upped the gear ratio. They are quite decent little folders with mudguards and carrier as standard. They are not high speed main road bikes but then they were not designed for that.Thanks Dave
i was wondering which one would be the best. i like the look of the mountian bike version but the fold version would be handy to fold up and stick in my car.
i ashume they are the same spec.

Did you see the videos I shot on one?

Chris, I have just completed my own conversion to an old MB and i can tell you it cost me about £450 all told. I laced the wheel myself which was the hardest part, but a shop would do it for about £60. See my thread here, links to suppliers at the bottom of my posts. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/6113-my-19-year-old-gt-mb-conversion.html

ThanksBrowsing this thread and had a look at your video Old Timer,
Really enjoyed it, feel as though I've had a day at the seaside
ChrisDave great videos. What do you use to hold your camera? I am looking for something to fix my camera to but I don't know what to use.
Do Halfords really only charge £11 ?£60 lace a wheel! Halfords £11!
