    Lithium-ion battery dangers

    Stand up straight there

    Pletscher ? After a considerable revision of stands looking for one that would not blow over in the wind, fold up with no prompting or snag on my chain, or rip my little rubber booties off against the kerb, i took Mr Fleccs' advice and opted for the Pletscher Pletscher twin leg 26" bicycle...
