Have you seen the Burley Travoy, An expensive trailer but attaches to a hitch on the seatpost. Looks an excellent item.

I went along to the Redbridge event today and it was great to be able to try out a number of different bikes. One that impressed me as a very simple but light sporty bike was the Momentum Electric Upstart which has two speed automatic gears and a front hub motor. Have any other members of the...

Hi aseb, I have a Cane Creek Thudbuster fitted to my 3 e electric sport. It is an excellent seat post which works on a cantilever principle to give a very significant amount of suspension. It is fully adjustable but is of course rather expensive. I purchased it several years ago from the US for...

I hope that members may be interested in a brief review of a new 3E Electric Sport bike which I recently purchased. My first outing into electric bikes was with an Alien Ocean kit purchased about 3 years ago. It was a great kit but I used it with the throttle only and eventually the battery...

I will be taking delivery of a new 3e Sport this week and weather permitting giving it a good run along some local cycle routes on the weekend. I have had two test rides and it's certainly a light bike with a very neat battery. I was amazed at how light the battery was. Good styling and range...

Eaglerider, Many thanks for letting me know your experience of this. I had a concern that there might be a jolt when one reached the various power assistance level thresholds but from what you say, it is a smooth transition which is good to hear. I assume that you move up the gears as well to...

Eaglerider, Many thanks for the update. Martin at Freego is looking into a crossbar version for me to try so excellent service from them already. What happens on the Eagle when you exceed 15 miles per hour (if you do)? I presume that the motor cuts out and is it a smooth feeling or are you...

Martin, Thank you for contacting me regarding the Freego Eagle crossbar style. As suggested I have emailed you on this subject. Kind regards

I have been considering purchasing a Freego Eagle myself just for leisure riding but unfortunately my nearest dealer only had the step through version to try and I really was more interested in the crossbar type. I tried the one that he had and it certainly seemed to have quite a kick when the...

That sounds a great idea. My nearest dealer is Smartebike in Borehamwood Herts and I am keen to have a look at both the Metro and the 24/26 Hybrids. If they do the try before you buy scheme I may well take advantage of it.

Hi, many thanks I will try and get a test ride arranged.

Hi will all dealers be aware of the promotional pricing and if they do not have a particular model are they going to be able to order one in?

Thank you Bigroy and jbond. It will probably be easier for me to get a new battery from Alien if they will shortly be back in stock although purchasing one from BMS in China would be cheaper. I am becoming tempted to maybe invest in a new bike possibly the Aurora or Wisper 905se rather than...

Guys thanks for your help. I am not proposing to do anything to the battery. I will however need to purchase a new one and wonder if there are any better ones that would fit the Alien rack. Alien replacement batteries are currently out of stock
