It was a well regarded very cheap pedelec at one time, could even be performance boosted and many in this forum had one. I believe they could be bought for under £300 at times from one of the Sports shops. Here's an example: And here's one with lots of upgrades, disc brakes, downtube...

In most cases the pedelec law is being broken, that is what is happening. In practical terms, some find a throttle useful when needing to manouvre slowly between traffic. Others with torque sensing pedelecs and not able to put in much pedal shove, find it useful to have maximum power to get...

Or the way the French have cracked down now on breaking pedelec rules, a fine of up to a staggering €30,000. I bet that has focussed a few French minds, doubt that many will be keen on having throttles now. Saw my first Sur-ron yesterday, the rider turned onto the pavement I was walking on. I...

The only thing to get used to is the greater comfort with that kind of bike and handlebars. It's how we all used to ride in Britain 70 and more years ago and from Africa through to India and China how almost all the rest of the world still rides today. A few years back I had a Giant Lafree...

Yes, I did notice those differences, but I'd struggle to make them match the price discrepancy. Especially now those Nissan batteries are now considered to have up to 12 years car use life and thereafter for storage wall use. I don't know where you get the 5 year 60,000 miles from, presumably...

He does sometimes have long breaks, his last two posts on May 4th, so almost two months this time. I know both he and his son have severe health problems so I hope those are not involved in the absence. ,

Economies of scale, £617 per kWh. My 39.5 kWh e-car battery, £202 per kWh. .

Member Danidl there in Ireland told me they are using the whole mix of methods, including satellite where necessary. When EDF installed a smart meter here, despite my telling them it wouldn't work, they confidently said they would get it to work, using mesh network etc. Three months later...

The slowest I normally get is 65 download, 16 upload. After bad experiences with others I switched to Zen several years ago and have never regretted it for one moment. On just two occasions I've had a noticeable drop in speeds, prompting me to phone them. Both times a quick answer from some...

I'm on Zen's Fibre 2, just checked the speeds: 74.9 download 27.9 upload, but usually more like 18. You'd get a FritzBox router as part of the package. .

The delay doesn't matter anyway, the whole scheme was doomed from the outset due to our pathetic mobile phone coverage, used by our smart meters. Despite being in a London Borough, none our our smart meters work since we have no coverage in most of our properties. The energy companies are well...

Woosh Santana 3, recommended for 5'4" upwards, but with this proviso from Woosh: "If you are between 5ft2 and 5ft4, let us know, we can fit a non-suspension seat post and a flatter saddle." It has one of the more powerful motors, the SWX02, good for riders up to 18 stones / 114 kilos. The...

Quite possibly since I'm electricity only, but Oxygen stated that MY costs would reduce by 17%, adding that this was a personalised breakdown. Here's a screenshot of their communication:

Not hoodwinked, I spotted their con immediately. But none of them are angels, wait 'til you've worked yours out, I bet it won't remotely be 19% reduction of your annual cost. .

Back on the thread subject, just received notification of the reduction in electricity prices from 1st July, due to falling wholesale prices: My unit charge down from 34.175p to 30.899p Daily standing charge remaining at 45.566p. Both including the 5% VAT. Oxygen Energy describe this as an...

Been with Zen for years, wouldn't want to be with anyone else. When I suffered a loss of speed a little while ago which they quickly corrected, realising I had the old router they'd originally given me, running through a BT modem, they immediately mailed me a new FritzBox FOC. Currently...

Best check with Wisper what arrangements they can offer when you buy direct if there's no local agent. This link is for their contact form or you can use the phone number given. .

It wouldn't matter if they did. We had been failing for well over 20 years before we joined the common market, so we know only too well what being out of the EU means. As a member of the European movement we then continued to fail for the next 44 years, and we are still failing now that we...

Hi Jake, welcome to the forum. The regrettable reputation is historic of course, since Cytronex featured strongly here from the 2008 beginnings, but the brand has largely been absent here in recent years. So an opportunity now for a fresh start. .
