    Cheaper bike

    Tried out a normal mountain bike this morning, it was a Careera bike, not sure on the model, anyway I have ruled out any electric e bike, didnt like the riding position, disliked the knobbly tyres, couldnt see me feeling safe on one on roads. Could never see me doing anything off road anyway...

    Cheaper bike

    It does seem to have lost its way a little, I am not really sure on crank drives any more, well not the ones in my price bracket. The Kudos Tornado looks a nice bike, I have my doubts I would find a mountain style bike comfortable though, we have a Kudos agent in Weston Super Mare now, so I may...

    Bike Rack

    She has only just bought her Batribike Diamond Pro XL, no chance she would want a fold up bike, im to big for one, besides the fact I dont like small wheel bikes.

    Cheaper bike

    Hello again...bet you thought you had heard the last from me, thanks for letting me know about your dealer in Weston Super Mare, I must have missed thay on the web page. I will give him a call to see what he has. I like the look of the Tornado, also the next model up the Arriba. I like the idea...

    Cheaper bike

    Thanks for your very detailed and frank explination, its made up my mind to steer clear of Woosh crank drive bikes. I do understand my budget means cheaper components, but dont think I could live with the gear / crank issues on the Woosh. I never noticed them on the Gepida I tried out, but then...

    Cheaper bike

    Sounds interesting, I may wait and see if Woosh put any details out , although I had hoped to sort something sooner, before she finds another use for the money . I have looked at Kudos Mountain bikes, they are the best looking M bikes out there in the price bracket, but I see they have max...

    Cheaper bike

    No its not that hilly in Taunton,I'm not against a Kudos, just had bad experience with the City bike i bought from them, not there fault, bike was fine, it was me who found it to tall to ride,other than that it wasnt a bad bike. Wont get into any discussions re the Kudos City at all, its dead...

    Cheaper bike

    After having to pay out for tow bar and Thule bike rack I have had to cut my bike budget, looking more and more at Woosh. The crank drives interest me, but I see a fair few coments on poor gear changes on Woosh crank bikes, only crank drive bike I have tried was test ride on Gepida berig 1000...

    Bike Rack

    I have booked the car in for towbar to be futted, and going to order a Thule bike rack this week. Nissan dealer I bought the car from say it will be ok, nose weiht more aimed for caravan towing, even though iam about 8 kg over the Nissan Note nose weight. Its going to cost me £425 in total, so...

    Thats interesting, but I suspect it will not be suitable for the slightly heavier rider

    Bike Rack

    Just checked nose weigt on my Nissan Note, its measley 50kg.Her new Batribike Diamond Pro xl is 22kg without battery ( just weighed it ) . It doesnt leave enough left for rack at approx 13kg and Woosh or any other bike at about the same 21kg. As car is still under warrentyi dont think I would...

    Bike Rack

    Not heard anything about a new bike from them. I had more or less ruled out the Big Bear, it looks far to big and bulky for me, i was looking at the CD or CDL, not to sure on which would be a best buy, i think i will go ahead with the tow bar though, as we would both like to take our bikes away...

    Bike Rack

    Oops...sorry just a bit of fun, I really am considering a Woosh bike, they look good value, I just need to be sure I get the right one, pity they dont sell through dealers, but the I would imagine the price would go up.

    Bike Rack

    No tow bar on the car, i can see it is probably the safest system to use,expensive though with cost of getting a tow bar fitted, after spending £1000 on her new bike, i may have to look more down market for mine.I reckon the cost of a towbar and electrics around £250 approx fitted, and say £200...

    Bike Rack

    Looking at possibly getting a bike rack for the car, which is safely capable of carrying two electric bikes, car is a 2011 Nissan Note. At the moment it would carry a Batribike Diamond Pro XL and a non electric Marin San Raphel, hopefully I will make up my mind what e bike to buy soon, it would...

    Freego advice please

    She bought the newer Diamond Pro XL, should have made that clearer, uses it far more than I thought she would, which is strange considering she blasted me for buying that Kudos City last year, which thankfully is long gone. Me I still peddling at present

    Gepida Bikes

    I'm beginning to think like that, Gepida does not seem to be a hugely popular bike and I can see maybe there are better deals for the money. At the moment the Batribike is an option, the local shop doesnt sell a huge range, so I'm fairly limited. Prefer to buy local, definatley wont buy...

    Gepida Bikes

    Thanks for your reply, i have looked at the problem you had in the Technical section, glad its sorted for you now. There doesn't ever seem to be anything mentioned on Gepida bikes on here, i did like riding the Berig model, but would have to put a more comfy seat on it, It was heavy but not much...
