    Thanks for the thought John. The one in Buxton is just too far but I'm planning on going to Woosh to have a look at batteries when they re-open in Feb so i can have look at the bike then. I wonder if the motor is a decent one though, their bikes are bloody cheap !

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    It's close but not that close, I'm near Orpington station !! Odd really cos if you type in to Google maps 'Orpington BR6' it's pretty accurate but if you just put 'BR6' it's miles away. Dunno why :confused:

    New tyres....twisted !

    Mike, Marathon plus can be a nightmare to fit, they are so stiff. there used to be a video from Spa cycles on the net on how to do it. try a search.

    Recumbent trike conversion

    Thanks. It does seem like the way to go. Hope you don't mind a couple more questions! Where did you get your batteries from? Were the connectors from Dave's bit compatible with the ones on the battery or did you have to change them?

    Hi eHomer, Looks like a nice neat job there. Was the wiring up easy? What sort of battery are you using and what sort of range do you get?

    Mmm, thanks for that. I do like the sound of the MXUS option although it is a little expensive. Does it come in a 26" wheel? Can you supply the battery/charger too? If so can you give me an idea of the cost? If not can you point me to a place where i can get something suitable? I'm thinking...

    Good to hear from you again. Sold the Cyclone powered upright trike some time ago. I'm thinking of this for my entertainment now I'm retired !! BTW on a completely different tack, where have all your Giant Lafree pages gone ? Had an old bookmark but there is nothing there. I'm still running...

    Where can i get a throttle like this?

    I'm working on an old Wisper Works705Se and the twist grip has just about finished it's life!! All the twisty bit has fallen apart and the plastic is broken. Are these a generic part? And if so where can i get one from? It has an inline 6 wire connector on the end of about1m of cable and it...

    Old 750Se question

    I'll take some piccies later and try to post them. BTW it's not just that the LEDs don't work, the bike is completely dead, no power to the motor at all!!
