I think so yes I rode up several small hills - I need to judge slightly bigger ones But changing the handle bars changed my perception of riding on the initially bad bike making it almost acceptable Whether that is "in my mind" or whether the change in my body position affected the power to my...

I'm not sure I tried a trek and a cube the other day which weren't for me but I forgot to write down what they were I tried several kalkhoff that had bigger motors but I didn't like them (although after he changed the handle bars I could ride the bigger one more easily but it wasn't great)...

"After more than a year seeking a solution, I imagine @Katymac would even accept a bike made of lightweight stale baguettes reinforced by encrusted cheese and particularly fibrous herbs, if it functioned as needed." Well yes, but I'm dairy free too (& it's closer to 3 years in all) Ok today...

"Lightweight bikes are available but these tend to be sportu road type bikes with minimal battery size and small hubs for the fitter rider who usually only wants light assisstance now and then" this is a missed market, the disabled rider, the older rider, the smaller rider even the pregnant...

Yeah £4k!! I really need to get something sorted I want a bike shaped bike otherwise I'd be sorted - I'm going to be a long time in a wheelchair/scooter so I want my pretty bike now A trike would be heavy as * so it won't increase my mobility & now I can't even open the sodding car door, so...

Apart from the "can't afford it anymore" but What's wrong (for me) with this one https://www.cube.eu/uk-en/cube-kathmandu-hybrid-c-62-slt-400x-stellar-n-origanogreen/812911

You guys have all been amazing so far - do you want to hear more planning/building in the future or shall i wait till I have a bike that works?

OK I am now pretty set on buying a lightweight stepthrough/low step (god they are hard to find) and adding a motor My favourite is an Islabike Joni, followed by an Islabike Janis However I can't find a Joni in my size! I've been having lovely conversations with a bike shop in "Scotland" who...

Would that work like the crusa?

Got a bit distracted by health stuff sorry Back on it!! @Woosh Waaaay back when on this thread you posted on this thread about an islabike janice & Gospade mid drive motor https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/looking-for-help-on-which-bike-to-buy.34670/?view=date#post-501087 I wasn't...

Ribble are definitely torque sensor Heybike is 19kgs so a saving of 5kgs which is better I guess but a long way to test ride (& seems to be a cadence sensor Looking in to Ebay and kits now (kuts are scary!)

So any of those are bad! I can learn I promise!! So I need a list of those that are OK... Plus I need to look at lightweight ladies bikes on Ebay maybe

I don't understand the way the motors are described so unless the say torque sensor I won't recognise one when I'm looking online Sorry

I'm back (said with a cackling laugh) So I've palmed the green bike off to my husband as I couldn't sell it he thinks it's ok & I'm remortgaging the house to buy a new bike Someone suggested a cube, so I'm looking at them more closely & an estarli too I've downgraded my 20 miles to 15...

Still for sale
