Hi Flecc Very interesting! Thanks very much for your most helpful input. Regards Ian

An interesting problem. I am going in the reverse direction and selling my Yamaha Nitro 98cc scooter because: 1. I do not wish to have to sit and pay for a CBT course (£120 every 2 years) Plus annual insurance/road tax and MOT and servicing. 2. I am not keen on having to gear up each time I...

Thanks Eddie and Amigafan2003 for your thoughts. I will do some exploring regarding the forks. Have you any ideas about my other comments re the battery for the Giant Suede? Many thanks again Ian

With the help of a member I have just bought a Trek 7300fx road bike fitted with a Juicy Bike kit. The end of the front suspension fork is broken (I was aware of this before buying) Can it be repaired and if so how? Would it be better to buy a replacement part? If so, which one? (A photo of the...

Sorry Bob I have just noticed the voltage is given in your title! My apologies. Ian

Hi Bob What price are you looking for the kit? Does it have a 36 volt battery? Regards, Ian

Gears Linda, Sorry, no. The gears are Shimano (I think) Anyway, not hub gears. It is obviously too early in the morning and I am not at home at the moment Ian

Hi Linda and Steve Thanks a lot for the advice- that should help considerably I actually met up with Eleanor at the Inn where we had coffee together before I set on my own again Part of my long term strategy to get a bike for Eleanor! (This can only be civilised bike riding for 60 year olds!)...

Courtesy of Phil at Pedalpower I have recently been able to test the Tonaro Eagle extensively. It is a big bike which suits me very well (6'1'' and 18st) It comes in any colour as long as its white. It looks good to my inexperienced ebike eye. The crunch came yesterday on my day off when I...

Hi Lynda Interesting!... I did not realise the position Thanks for clarifying Regards Ian

Thanks again Lynda for your suggestion. I was all set to head down to Dundee but on checking found you were correct re the Dundee agent being out of Tonaros Apparently this is to be the case until the beginning of December when it seems the new range/stock for 2012 comes out Does any one know...

Hi Lynda, Chris and Frank Thanks very much for taking the time to reply All most helpful. The crankshaft motor seems to offer a considerable advantage over the bikes which I have tried and Cyclezee (who has been extremely helpful with his advice) recommends them very highly I think I will take...

Hi Lynda Based on recommendation I am contemplating buying a Tonaro As I live in the Far North this will probably be without the equally recommended test ride I have however tested locally both a Wisper and a Freego which were both satisfactory and I am told that the Tonaro compares very...

Hi John Yes I think I will need to go south to check out other bikes Thanks again for the advice Best regards Ian
