    Cheap Panniers etc. From Lidl

    Pannier for Sprint I'm thinking about getting panniers to carry my spare battery. I've never cycled with panniers before, just a back box. I think I would like a pannier either side so that I could balance the load, are panniers easy to fit? Jeanette

    50Cycles and Ezee batteries

    You're right Flecc, it was in fact for two Nimh batteries and chargers, Mr Ching did say he planned to despatch them in separate packages to avoid the Import Duty, however, in the event they all came in one - I was still very happy with the outcome. Jeanette

    50Cycles and Ezee batteries

    One thing to note though is that if you do order from China, the process is quick and easy, however, be prepared for a Customs bill - I had to pay an extra £40 - the bill comes after the goods are delivered by TNT. Jeanette

    who wears sunglasses when cycling??

    I never used to wear them, but often ended up with dust and particles in my eyes - the sun is not such a bother to me, however, my husband has delicate eyes and introduced me to the triple colour interchangeable full glass/goggles available from Halfords - they are excellent and since wearing...

    General Electric maintenance Sprint

    Apart from basically checking tyres, chain, nuts and bolts from time to time, is any sort of regular maintenance necessary to the electrics and motor of the Ezee Sprint? - and if so where do members get this done - I'm sure 50 cycles would carry out anything that was needed to be done, and very...

    what sort of route for pleaseure riding

    I really love riding my bike to work as I do this early in the morning - 6.30 am, it's so quiet and peaceful then, the countryside is waking up, the sound of the birds, the smell of the vegetation all around are worth the extra effort needed to be orgnised enough to do this. There are, however...

    Nimh Ezee battery

    No Des, I got them direct from Mr Ching at Ezee Cycles in China. I responded to his very kind offer to replace my Li batteries, and at the same time I mentioned that I had been waiting a while to get two NiMH batteries and chargers and he very kindly organised the latter for me direct from...

    Is your Sprint motor noisey

    One of our Sprint motors makes much more noise than the other, it at least let's people walking in the road that something is coming behind them ! Seriously it's a little annoying but maybe it is characteristic of this bike? hard to tell as the other is relatively quiet. There seems to be no...

    Helmet Mirrors Good Or Bad. Better Then Handle Bar Mirrors ?????

    I am lucky enough to have a Revuu helmet with built in mirror and I would not be without it. However, I believe they are no longer available in this country. I just need to look up to the peak of the helmet and thro clever mirroring within the helmet I can see behind. My husband has cateye...

    eZee / Phylion Li+ battery / Forum

    This is fantastic news as my husband and myself had almost decided not to use the bikes until we could get a reliable battery -NiMH still out of stock. Will the replacement Li battery use the same charger, I am assuming it will do. I shall be ringing 50 cycles on Monday, as I doubt they...

    36V 9Ah NiMH battery pack Ezee Sprint

    Merry Christmas to all !!:) Has anyone yet been able to get hold of a NiMH battery & charger for Ezee bikes? I believe they are only available from 50 Cycles who have been unable to supply for a long time. Has anyone any news as to when they will be back in circulation? My lithium...

    Bad news for Camel Trail cycle route?

    Worry not - all the proposals are on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway website. The trail stays as the railway knows the value of it, and its established use. It's intended that they can exist side by side with enough room for each, in fact the trail near Bodmin and the railway already do this. We...

    Chain cleaning

    Hi, I have been lubiricating the chain on my Ezee Sprint with an oil I have used on my other bikes (supplied by a bike shop so it is for bikes), however, would grease be better? I have a tube of some sort of grease which I have to confess I have never actually used. Should I be...

    ezee sprint battery/motor cut out

    Hi, I've been off the Forum for a couple of months due to work and health problems, however, today my husband took his Ezee sprint out for a spin but it seemed to cut out on him after a fairly short time, on a hill which he can normally climb with ower, three times, and thereafter did seem to...

    2007 Giant twist

    My choice, living in Cornwall and having a very hilly commute to work and back is the Sprint. I have owned a Giant Lafree Comfort 2004 to 2006 and would not have one again for the very reason that you have to keep peddling to gain any assistance, no matter how loaded your bike is, or how tired...
