What is the future?

Not so Frank, replacement units are readily available in stock in Europe and can be despatched promptly.

And there haven't been plenty of posts about the units failing in this forum, I've only ever heard of one of the second generation units doing so, and I get feedback via my support site from all around the world on these. In view of the many thousands of the later units out there over the last 5 years, the reliability is incredibly good.

The earlier unit did have some known problems but the failure incidence was very low despite that, and there are large numbers still in use without a fault as far back as their introduction ten years ago.

Dare I ask who was the owner of that one unit to fail Tony,..............or do I already know the answer?

Never having done business with either 50 Cycles or Fred Karno....sorry, Frank's outfit, I'm absolutely certain which firm I'd trust to sort me out with (1) A bike or (2) Repairs or spare parts for my bike.

Maybe I've missed it but I can't seem to recall many glowing testimonials in these pages about the bikes supplied by Frank's firm. Leaving aside the new kids on the block about whom we have little information thus far, Panasonic-powered bikes have stood out as the most elegant method of achieving a pedal-assisted bicycle. My guess is that 50 Cycles and other Panasonic bike dealers will be around long after Frank and Alien Ocean and their ilk have disappeared.

Hmmmm.....

Didactic - good word. I heard someone using it on the radio and looked it up. Unfortunately, I now use it ten times a day, mostly wrongly
