    2 bikes or 1?

    Totally agree with above, why would you behave so stupidly by going past shop doorways at that speed on the pavement, what a clown...

    From 1951

    A Raleigh Wisp was my first powered bike in 1972 i am sure i pedaled it more than i rode it , possibly due to the fact i never had the money for petrol.

    Halfords Carrera Crossfire e Battery cutting off...

    I also took mine back and got an instant refund, mind you there were a couple of people looking at the Carrera with regards to buying and i advised them not to so i think they wanted me out of the store pretty quickly as the manager was ultra helpful.

    Finally sorted, Wisper bought.

    Hi folks, after going through the Carrera saga and getting a refund i have finally taken the plunge and decided on a Wisper 905se from Swinnertons in Stoke, which i will be collecting tomorrow. I probably should have listened to advice and done this in the first place, but opted for the...

    An Apology (of sorts) Carrera

    It was a great bike when it worked, as for the Halfords staff they didnt quibble at all about a refund, which possibly indicates its happening quite a lot, however they did suggest i try the new Carrera Vengeance with the Bafung engine when they get one in this week so maybe they are going to...

    An Apology (of sorts) Carrera

    Ok folks this is an apology(of sorts) for going on about how good and reliable my Carrera Crossfire was, while i still maintain it was great to ride, i now concede it certainly has reliability issues having started to cutout so many times this last week it now has a new home back at Halfords. So...

    Rides illegal machine - kills pedestrian & blames her........

    Let it be a warning for all the people riding illegal ebikes on the road, cycle paths, towpaths etc a probable prison sentence will follow if they are unfortunate enough to have this type of accident as they could not only be charged with similar offences but also no insurance/mot/tax etc..

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Totally agree with egroover, had mine about a month and no problems yet and a free 2year warranty, what other dealer offers that that? plus Halfords are 1mile away so no problems taking it back. I would imagine the percentage of faulty bikes compared to the amount they have sold is quite small...

    Carrera vulcan or crossfire electric bike?

    Must say even though i have bought the Crossfire the Wisper Martin is pretty damned nice, i suppose you pays your money and makes your choice, test ride them at Halfords and see what you think.

    Carrera vulcan or crossfire electric bike?

    Have read the reviews and you are right, there are a small percentage that do seem to suffer from cut out problems mainly with the old style LCD, but it seems that other makes suffer problems as well as can be found on the forum pages. Halfords have probably sold shed loads of Carreras and for...

    Carrera vulcan or crossfire electric bike?

    According to the specs on the Halfords site the Vulcan has different brakes and gears to the Crossfire, not sure of the weight difference but both bikes seem pretty similar apart from tyres and aesthetics.

    Carrera vulcan or crossfire electric bike?

    Hi there i was much the same as you after my wife got a Juicy e bike, at the moment Halfords have got the Crossfire at 20% off so it is actually £40 cheaper than the Vulcan, I went and collected a Crossfire at the weekend and really like it, your best bet is go and have a test ride at Halfords...
