    Hello from Shetland

    Two years on and I am back again, still not having bought an ebike. I have kept looking at them, following the ebike "scene". What was putting me off buying an ebike was that my colleagues were getting their sub-£1,000 bikes through the Cycle to Work scheme discounted by 30%+, but as I was...

    Winora Radius

    Thanks a lot for the resoonse. This was the third of three choices. The price of mudguards has put me off! I am disappointed to see me last post has been removed. I assumed that this was a place where open and honest discussions could be held. I didn't name the dealer after all.

    26 Inch-wheeled Pedelec

    The latest 50Cycles sales email says that certain models are going up in price and that "Price rises may affect other models as stock levels diminish as Summer progresses" Is this an industry standard thing, models not increasing in price may increase in price, or is there something here that...

    Had to delay doing this due to my fiver year old laptop going into its death throes. Thanks a lot for the advice though.

    Help, help, I am being oppressed. I am not used to penetrating wit this early. Penetration is usually much later in the day!

    26 Inch-wheeled Pedelec

    I can't imagine there would be much Chinese content in a German product without a lot of quality control checking. 16mph will be enough for me now. It' she distance that is more important that the speed. So it all comes down to length does matter.

    26 Inch-wheeled Pedelec

    Thanks guys. I have come to the conclusion that a Kalkhoff with the 612Wh battery will cover my needs at the moment and give me room to grow. I will just have to bit the bullet on the tyre size. Am still not sure on the model though. It has come down to either Pro Connect Impulse Alfine 8G...

    26 Inch-wheeled Pedelec

    Thanks guys. That's KTM Macina Bold, Raleigh Leeds and Kalkhoff Pro Connect Impulse Alfine 8G so far that look good. Not sure on the wheel size of the latter, but the other specs are impressive and make overlooking the wheel size easier. I shall be happy to pedal along, I am just struggling...

    I should have said, must have hub gears. Deraileurs are the work of the devil!

    26 Inch-wheeled Pedelec

    I am very new to this so just a basic question to get started. I have a number of bikes with different tyre sizes: 16", 17", 20" and 26". It would be nice not to have to stock yet another spare tyre size in my boxes of spares. Is there a good quality (budget about £2k) touring pedelec with...

    Hello from Shetland

    It's 14 hours by ferry to Aberdeen, so I might need a fortnight!

    Hello from Shetland

    Hi Folks I live in one of the windiest parts of the country and am looking at e-bikes as I don't get out as much as I would like to on any of my bikes. My commute to work is 17 miles each way so a cycle trip in and back is a rare thing as it takes me too long to recover. I am in my early...
