    One Rule for Us another for the Police?

    They will cost less than a trained Officer but you get what you pay for. I can be ordered to stay on duty and am multi functional ie I can investigate or fight rioters if needed. You will lose that flexibility with civilians. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

    I don't want to get too political the easiest way is to direct you to this thread which will give you a flavour of the way things are heading its started already in most Forces including mine, in the not too distant future the majority of the Police will be made up of civilians probably employed...

    Is it coincidence these stories about the Police coincide with several journalists being arrested for phone hacking, and the Government looking to privatise most of the Police I think not. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

    What a surprise another anti police story in the press! Funny I haven't seen any praise for the meticulous investigation that resulted in a life sentence for the bloke who killed 6 of his children! Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

    Please do relocate the more electric bike shops near me the better! No more to be said by me except remember if you were to find out that an electric bike shop provided poor service that should not tarnish you its the same in my job. ;) Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

    Hi. I agree that you should be honest about your experiences and I am sorry that the way that you have been dealt with has not left you with much confidence in the Police. Flecc is spot on in that everybody forms their opinion based on their own personal experiences and on what they read...

    As a serving Detective with 25 years in the job i'm sorry that you feel this way. Your opinion will certainly deter me from ever buying a bike from you. When you have worked early turns,lates and night shifts and been spat at, had bones broken, been called more names than I care to...

    Kalkhoff Groove F8 or Neo Cross

    Have you been on a Neo? I had a test drive a few weeks ago and was very disappointed with the noise it sounded like a milk float. I became very conscious of it when cycling past people and other cyclists. On the positive side dogs heard me a mile off and moved out of the way......

    Thanks for the helpful replies, that puts my mind at rest, I was worried if I bought one what would happen if the battery ran out!

    Question about Bosch bikes.

    Please can anybody who owns a bosch driven bike explain to me how it feels if you don't use the battery power, can you ride it as a normal bike, if so does it feel the same as an unpowered bike, no drag or noise etc? Thankyou.

    Tonaro,simply the best

    Ok my thoughts for what they are worth on the Tonaro. It is certainly not as attractive as the Haibike or the new Bosch system bikes I aggree with Eddieo(especially the motor thing on the bottom could they not disguise this as a waterbottle like cytronex) however it does seem to have a lot of...

    A Crank Call

    Great looking bike Eddieo but HOW MUCH IS IT? Its like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Mini. The Mini is still fun to drive and gets you from A to B but the Rolls Royce looks better and is more stylish but costs about 6 times as much as the Mini. I don't see how you can compare that to a Tonaro?
