Thanks for your replies and interest all Hi Nigel Well, I found a Wisper 24” in a bike shop in Cambridge this morning, and the step through is just about right, so I might go ahead with this one, after looking at some bikes over the next few days. It's a lovely bike... hope your wife gets on...

Thanks, I’ve sent them an email...

Thanks Nigel, how is your wife getting on with her Wisper?

Many thanks - eek, sharp hills!

Thanks cyclebuddy, I've been googling it for days and not coming up with anything - so that's really promising.

Thanks Warmrain, that's really helpful, and Lincolnshire is fine - could you tell me the name of your Gazelle dealer? I'm pleased they are still selling in UK - one bike shop I visited said they had stopped, and that the Balance was no longer in production. Fingers crossed... I'll follow up...

Hi all, I've narrowed my search for a very low step through, small wheeled bike down to the Gazelle Balance. I'm 5’2”, mid sixties, with arthritic hips so you get the idea! Unfortunately Gazelle have stopped making these bikes and don’t sell in UK anymore anyway, so it's difficult to find one...

Hi, Does anyone have a Gazelle Balance or something similar for sale? I'm 5’2”, old and arthritic but would like to start cycling again after a long break...

Hi Paul, sorry, it's sold - I'm collecting it tomorrow.

That's great, Woosh. Many thanks

Thanks, Mr Woosh, David and Neal. I think I'm confused now about what torque and cadence driven do, and the effect of the throttle on top of that... As I understand it, torque driven means that the the harder you press the pedals, the less the motor helps you; and cadence driven means that...

Yes I did wonder that too... I test rode a 705se yesterday which I believe has the same size frame as the 705T? The step through was just at the limit of my arthritic ability so decided to go for it because of the dual cadence and torque function and the throttle facility which I tried out when...

Hi Mr Woosh, that's how I'd need to use it too. Best wishes

Thanks David, I messaged the seller yesterday but haven't heard back yet. I hope to be singing its praises on here soon! (I didn't receive your message though- was it a Pm?). All best

:)I certainly will let you all know how it goes
