    Electrified recovery from heart attack

    Thanks again, good idea re the water bottle. I am going out on the eMTB this morning to check out a turbo trainer for post op exercise on wet days. The eMTB will give me some freedom as I am not allowed to drive. Nigel

    Electrified recovery from heart attack

    I haven't posted for a while as I had decommissioned the electric trike and trailer and sold them on without the heinzmann. I had kept my original electric mountain bike in reserve, although Steve at electricmountainbikes has it advertised for sale for me. The use of the bikes and trikes over...

    Hi David, I was glad that somebody answered my madness on the day! My family thoroughly enjoyed the efforts of all of you who made those weekends so special. One of the events that we will remember for a long time was the ride to the coast. I know the location has been discussed at length...

    Electrifying a recumbent

    Hi Steve, I have had two trikes electrified, and both were with Heinzmann steel geared motors. The first used an electrified mtb wheel, 7spd freewheel, the second, an ICE flat folding trike, had the motor fitted in the 20" wheel, with 9spd freewheel. Both conversions were carried out by myself...

    Does anyone make electric trikes?

    Hi Allen, that is really bad news. From the posts of yours that I have read, I find the thought of your desire to overcome, inspirational. Have you come across these guys before, they are very approachable. TEAM HYBRID HANDCYCLES | Hand Cycles, Wheelchairs and Recumbent Handcycles.

    Which Dealer Would You Not Hesitate to Recommend?

    If you want bespoke and great service, then Steve at Electricmountainbikes. He has now fixed me up with a heinzmann powered Swissbike, a heinzmann powered ICE trike and a Gruber powered Trek. Another vote for Onbike as well. Nigel
