Dead right, as that famous truism says, "every journey begins with a single step", and our individual single steps are cumulative.QUOTE another one i read today an electric bike doesnt cost the earth mike

electric gasoline scooter Electric Bicycle have a look round the site its interesting "petrol engined bikes." not for us but the scooter may be the basis of something that would move people away from pure petrol drive...

andy yes thanks for the support, to give you an idea of the the simplest help electric bikes can be to the enviroment monday, 9am my wife and i go to asda and the butchers on our bikes about a 4mile round trip.10am we are back home. now without electric bikes we would have taken...

first let me say my sympathy goes out to this person ,but lets hope it doesnt get to much press coverage, remember what it did for happy slapping.

just been to asda on the bikes the last 20yds we always walk, although a dedicated cycle lane its full of shoppers because its wider than the path(i don't mind i do use paths in what i consider dangerous road areas). anyway walking along and a chap comes up to us and asks are those electric...

beeps its just i have had my two 15 month old sakura packs rebuilt, and one seems to be better than the other, i didnt want to complain if they may need time to settle in. thanks mike

just a quick question do sla batteries need a few disharge and recharge cycles before they reach there best or is it there straight away. mike:confused:

nigel you may be right but to be honest with its alloy frame and the promise of lithium batteries round the corner it may be moved from the heavy to med range. out of interest we took the sakuras to asda today for some shopping,because we suspect that one of the batteries that we had...

two more 50 or over and we will be ahead of the youngsters, god did i say that, there is a 25 year old in this 58 year old body, but the trouble is its only me that knows it, does the age result up to now mean the older we are the more open we are to new ideas, or does it mean we are more...

well ive done it again i could see reasons not to buy a powabyke euro but not enough, the ezee sprint was the nearest option but it was nearly £400 more expensive, possibly worth every penny but its a lot to go over budget. took it for its first run today 12mile...

ive noticed when i see some on else on a electric bike we smile at each other with a hint of "we know some thing they dont know" in our smile. this never happend on pushbikes. i thought i had seen a thread asking what other electric bikes we see in our area but i cant find it so i will put...

just thought this post should be kept going ime in the over 50 group. mike

Apathy among the public for such things is widespread. is it apathy or is it fear/common sense i would love some one to save my bike from being stolen but i dont want them to end up in hospital or even dead. mike

how do you stop bikes from being stolen when life is like this YouTube - Bike Thief hope it works. mike

50 cycles thanks i had looked at that and as you say the spec is very close to what i need its just the price is a bit more than i wanted (ime semi retired and only now take agency work so if i spend more i have to work more). if i could convince myself to spend the extra would i...

well the powabyke has gone back with a full refund, and the usual good service from jobes at hull, (ime not connected with them in any way)its just that crap service seems to be all to common in this day and age, in all types of shops i allways try to repay good service with a mention somewhere...

nigel funny you should mention 13mph i didnt get to ride it with the speedo on, but i felt on power only it was well short of 15mph, not that its a problem because we normaly plod along at 10 mph any way. flecc ime sure your right about powabyke as a company, allso in my favour is i deal...

yes after listening to good advice i decided to buy the powabyke euro anyway!!!!. in the shop it looked very nice shiny black paint work,the right size i found the balance better than i thought it would be, so paid and took it home. next was a few runs round the block to get the hang of the...

flecc thanks for the quick reply the idea of a new bike is pleasing my wife is keeping her sakura so mine would make a good stock of spares. the powabyke does concern me is it reliable? the izip i like and if a spare battery can be bought for about a £100 at £490 ish its 30miles + for a lot...

hi a bit undecided on what to do. have had my single speed sakura cruiser for 15 months now, and the SLA battery is on its way, out when new i could get 20miles on pedal ass now probaly about 12. i was thinking about a change, looking at the new izip because it had gears, i thought it would...
