    Silly Cyclists

    Mike I agree that the driving in London traffic is better than Swansea, but have you seen London drivers driving along our narrow lanes in Pembrokeshire. They seem to think that all country lanes are one way, (that being the way they are going). My daughter who lives in Swansea seems to have a...

    Injured knee- advice needed on best way to climb hills on Freego Hawk.

    Thank you Steve for your comments. Probably not a good idea though for me to stand on the pedals though as consultant and physio told me not to walk uphill or downhill as it would put pressure on my knee and hip.

    Injured knee- advice needed on best way to climb hills on Freego Hawk.

    Thank you Hugh. I'm glad to hear you're still cycling. I'm waiting for an arthroscopy on my leg for a torn medial meniscus and torn medial collateral ligament, and must admit I'm feeling a bit nervous about it, in case it doesn't improve things. You've given me a bit of hope now.

    Injured knee- advice needed on best way to climb hills on Freego Hawk.

    Thank you for the reply. I was considering buying a wireless one but I've read a few other comments about them going crazy when the motor cuts in, so I think it will probably be a wired one.

    Injured knee- advice needed on best way to climb hills on Freego Hawk.

    Thank you so much Eaglerider for a very comprehensive answer. I will try out your suggestions tomorrow. I have been using the pedelec and the throttle at the same time and this afternoon I did come across the problem of a confused controller, as neither the pedelec or the throttle seemed to...

    Injured knee- advice needed on best way to climb hills on Freego Hawk.

    I badly injured my knee 3 months ago walking down a mountain, so my husband has bought me a Freego Hawk bike so that I can get out and about. Until the injury I was a fit mountain biker and walker even though I am in my late sixties. Can anyone please advise me the best way to climb hills on it...

    e-bikes Direct Buying Experience

    I've just bought my Freego Hawk from them. They were very helpful and efficient. When the bike arrived the paint had been damaged on the rear carrier. I phoned them and they asked me for photos. They promptly replaced the carrier. I would rate them 10/10.
