    Funny that I've just looked at maybe going on the train. I've also managed to raise the funds available for another bike by another £1000 plus whatever I get for the Kudos City, all in all then around £1550 in total. I may go a little higher but not by much. At last I've got her indoors on my...

    I :confused:have looked at the list and have heard of quite a few, plus searches on here and on Google bring up a lot of info, i will have to see if i can sort out a trip up, bit of a pain as its about a two and a half hour drive, but makes sense as i can try out a few bikes, and get it right...

    Trouble with that is its buy without trying again, and look what happened when i just did that. Afraid i'm not prepared to risk it again.

    I really don't see any point in contacting Kudos,its my fault for buying the bike,plus I can't see anything suitable to swap it for. I don't want a fold up or small wheel bike. I did hire a mountain bike about 10 years ago on a holiday, not a comfortable bike from what I remember. What I'm going...

    Thanks for all the advice,sorry but i have made up my mind the bike has to go. Took my old ( VERY OLD ) Raleigh out this morning, no worries on it at all, its a smaller bike and I'm definitely sure now that the Kudos City bike size and the no throttle are the problems. The Raleigh must be about...

    I tried a seat post from someone else's bike at work this afternoon, it made a little difference,but I don't feel confident on the bike at all, especially in town traffic. It could be a throttle may well suite me better,but I also think I need a smaller bike. I really can't see Kudos doing any...

    I,m 2 stone 10 lbs overweight, Yes I know its over, its on the way down though,lost 10 lb since beginning of June, mainly through diet, and Doctors orders :-) . weight doesn't bother me on the bike,getting on and off that's the pain,on the move is OK,although the bike does look very big for me.

    Well done Kudos,the replacement chain guard arrived early this morning,fitted it and went out for a 12 mile round trip. I have got the hang of backing off to change gears, still not keen on the motor cutting out when you stop peddling, it does not kick back in quick enough when you do peddle...

    Very young !!! Oh I wish, if I was I wouldn't want an e bike. I'm 65 and still working for a living, well for maybe 18 months, will call it a day then. Hoping this e bike I have may help improve my health a little. :-) :-) :-)

    Well i have managed to try the bike out, did try to post in Bike Review section but its not showing, anyway i took the chain guard off just in case it fell off before the replacement part arrives. i think it may a while to get used to the bike, its bigger than i thought it would be, not to bad...

    Phone call from Kudos this morning, apology for my customer service experience, promise to put replacement part of chain guard in post today. With the handbook, it does seem there is not one for the bike, they did say the handbooks were very basic and may look into improving in future. Feeling a...

    Yeah me to.... :-) I have read all my posts re this again and OK I probably did over react a bit. Still not amused by Kudos customer service though. Some of the replies on here have been helpful,. There seem to be a lot who are part of the Kudos fan club though,and don't like what I say,I...

    I agree with a lot you have said,the bike was well packed though,no damage to the box at all. It looked to me like it may not have been fitted properly in the first place,I doubt there would be claims etc against the courier as the broke piece of chain guard must only be a few ponds in cost. Yes...
