Thanks, I'll take a look. A lighter weight, shorter reach and and hopefully lower c of g is I think the crux of what we're looking for.

25kg apparently including the battery, which is the same as my 26" wheel Eagle. Its also not much smaller physically.

My wife recently took a tumble off her Freego Wren she has had for perhaps 10 years and uses at least weekly. She loves the bike but being 60 I think she has a little less strength than she once had and the Wren is quite a large and heavy bike, hence a wobble became a crash. She needed a few...

Hi Not really. The bike goes on and I typically do about 30 - 40 miles a week on it. I have disconnected the brake cut outs by simply pulling the connectors apart and that helped. If it does cut out completely as it does now and then, I push down on the handlebars and compress the suspension and...

Yes its been there for ages, and the battery refurb was to put that out of the equation. I thnk finding and testing a sealed copper wire is probably a bit beyond me, but the fact it always seems to connect with a single bounce of the front wheel seems really odd. Thanks

Hi I have a 4 year old Freego Eagle with a newly refurbished battery and have an intermittent fault that shows up on most rides with a loss of power. What happens is the bike will ride along normally and then, usually later in the ride or almost always over rough ground, lose power. If I lean...

Thanks for recommending them. Very knowledgeable, prices are good and its very clear that the replacemnt will have a years warrenty. Exactly what I was after so I'll be ordering one!

Hi I need to replace the battery which has died on my wifes Freego Wren. With Freego now having ceased trading, I've seen a few advertised on ebay as replacements that will fit and also a chap who rebuilds them in the exisiting case, although I've asked a couple of times and any warrenty still...

Thanks for that. Had a look at these and the Woosh CD 2018 with the big battery and hydraulic brakes does look good value

My wife who is 5' tall has a Freego Wren (Freego are out of business I know) which is a 24" wheel She's a confident rider whos had several ebikes and finds that wheel size a lot easier to manage than 26" wheels given the extra weight of an ebike

I'm looking to change my Freego Eagle which has developed an occasional fault and now a dead battery! I've have spotted the Westhill Classic at a £1200, sold by proper ebike shops with what looks like a good specification. Does anybody have any experience of these, particularly with regard to...

Hi Both Many thanks for the responses. Both right I think, a good spray of contact cleaner in the display and all worked well once again Thanks

A problem with my really reliable old Freego Hawk has come up that I think may be quite simple but I'm hoping someone will know. It's always been really good with no faults at all, but after disconnecting the front LED light when doing some work on it, when I switch it on with the key at the...

I'm looking to put rear disc brakes on my Freego Hawk and my wifes Freego Wren, and then either putting on a mechanical rear caliper, or upgrade to a set of hydraulic calipers. I believe it's been done, so has anyone on here done this, as it looks like I'll need a threaded adaptor if one is...

Thanks for the replies guys. Things have moved on since my last posts. I brought another one of ebay for £80 that works, as it had new batteries, so got a spare battery pack and a full set of spares, and I can take the motor to bits just to satisfy my curiosity about how it works etc. and...
