Good to know Tilts;)

Hi Bluescrn I am 73, over weight, finding it more and more difficult to walk and can no longer get on my old Daw's crossbar bike. In an effort to up my exercise levels I recently purchased a Raleigh Motus and although I have only managed twenty miles so far I find it is wonderful. I can put in...

Finally purchase the Raleigh Motus. Twenty miles under my belt and apart from having to get used to manoeuvring the weight no problems so far. Love it. Thank you all for your advice.

Just purchased my first EBike and have insured it through my home insurance provider Sainsbury's Bank. They charged me an additional £38 for £2000 worth of cover.

Thanks for clarification Woosh. I like the solution you suggest. Get off and walk to the top.;)

Thanks all for your kind advice. I have attempted to research the relative advantages of cadence and torque sensors from what I have gleaned torque seems to be the favoured option. One review I read suggested that starting again if stopped in high gear on a steep hill would be more difficult...

Thanks for link Fat Rat. I must say I favour dealing with a local company. EBikes are mechanically and electronically quite complex and if I have Master Craft only a half mile away from I live. They are well established and enjoy an excellent reputation. I note Onbike range is extensive but...

Thanks for reply Fat Rat. Main requirement for me is that it is step through i.e. easy to mount. I have not done much cycling in the last three years because I was finding it increasingly difficult to get safely on and off my daws which has a cross bar. I have sciatic nerve damage to my left...

Hi All Thanks for allowing me to your forum. I am 73 and have cycled most of my life but now doddery and mounting my Daws Hybrid has become increasingly difficult mainly because of the cross bar. With this in mind I determined to acquire a step through bike (Ladies lol) and since I am not...
