I guess there are quite a few lighter ones on the market. The problem is that the last bit of weld took a small bit of tube with it leaving a hole. I`m still using the bike but, it might compromise long term strength. Andrew

Ahh the good old lithium "envirobike". It replaced the "cadmium classic". I have doubts about boasting on the electric bike green credentials. The last environmentalist -I spoke to- heard about my two "envirobikes" and my lpg car and still claimed that really I should get a "normal" bike or...

Nearest dealer Lincolnshire (home of the tatty)

I am near Ripley but can chuck the bike in the car. A contact number would be great. Thanks Andrew

I`ll post when I find a good one. I just can risk the structural aluminium snapping at the wrong time. Andrew

:eek: Potato powered bikes, whatever next I wonder who will be stocking these in Derbyshire :)

After plodging through a couple of reviews I came accross some of the Schwinn bikes. I have a couple of questions.. 1) Are these available outside the US? 2) What are the chances of getting hold of the Schwinn Protanium lithium polymer 10 AH battery and charger? Andrew

heh a review of the bike by jack nicholson? It certainly rides well and I like the curry drive too. I might get another test drive. Andrew

Problem is that the last bit of weld was really good. Before realising what happened, I kicked the stand down and it fell off taking a 5mmdia circle of tube with it. The question I was going to ask was can I get the bike welded with the controller & motor fitted? I don`t want to blow them...

Understand what you say on the jetwash. I never blast bearings or close paintwork. I might try grease on the chain this winter. ~S~ Andrew

The hefty steel twin stand eventually fell off my suede e this week taking with it the alloy frame plate. On the up side I`m about a kilo less weight, on the down side I need to find someone in Derbyshire who can weld aluminium! I can`t say I knocked it off, but it has rattled an awful lot...

:o yes and no. The hefty steel twin stand eventually fell off my suede e this week... I`ll post a thread.

OK so WD40 is out then? :D I once used a ptfe type bike oil that seemed to make my chain stiff!! You should be able to jet wash the rims/tyres surely

yeah "cell bike" sounds interesting and non geeky Now all we need to do is get rid of all the anorak stuff that comes with cellbikes.. mudguards, racks etc Andrew Ironic Giant Suede E (wearing out fast)

I had a new battery made for me by eddy at cellpacksolutions for a reasonable price. If you are looking for a a cheap reliable bike, I had a test ride (at a bike shop in Swadlincote) of an I-go... badged currie drive/mongoose and lead acid battery. It was pretty lightweight and ran very well...

mmm difficult one here, Lotsa people don`t like the hub giant suede with a vengeance . Ever since Giant discontinued the Twist in the UK. I have been commuting to work over hills for a year now on mine. My speedo registers 15 when on the flat-full throttle:) My battery died after 12months...

I generally time my NiMh charge in order to have a warmer pack before starting!! Gets me the 8miles ish over hills to work fine. It will be interesting to see how my new charging point (outside) at work will affect return journey performance on the colder days. Last year I used foil backed foam...
