    Got my Cytronex!

    Yes the 1.5hours charge time is exactly how long it's been taking to recharge the battery. It worked out nicely for me because I can charge the battery when I get up and it's ready to use by the time I leave for work. 5 hours recharge for a shorter range battery (20 miles) might be an issue if...

    Got my Cytronex!

    Hi Mattyduk & Rad No problem. I got distracted by the Zebra crossing thread! Thought this thread had fizzled out. Yeah I thought I'd have the supply problem when I decided to get the Cytronex several weeks ago. I was lucky. Sorry to hear you weren't. If they hadn't got the bike I'd...

    Cyclist v bus (cyclist survives)

    Interesting discussion though much of it not really related to the original video. Speaking as a motorist, a pedestrian, and a cyclist, for me, the purpose of a journey is to get from A to B as fast as possible without @*ssing anybody off. That includes me, the authorities and anyone on the...

    Cyclist v bus (cyclist survives)

    First there was the motorbike, then the cyclist. The pedestrian, rather sensibly was avoiding the crossing altogether. Obviously a different culture. Would the law in the UK view the cyclist as a pedestrian? Would the law view somone riding a motorbike across as a pedestrian. Surely you should...

    Cyclist v bus (cyclist survives)

    I was only thinking last week that motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists really don't mix well. I guess cycling across pedestrian crossings is the ultimate bad mix. If that had been me on the bike, in the UK ,I'd have considered myself lucky to be alive and blamed myself for being such a...

    Got my Cytronex!

    Yes I believe Mark said back in August on this forum that the new range of treks was coming in soon and that he expected the price to rise. Re the range - I'm just on my 4th charge after draining it several times before recharging. I think that means the battery should be at it's best now. 1st...

    Got my Cytronex!

    I follow the instructions and don't do standing starts. There's another thread with comments from Mark at Cytronex regarding this. I usually pull away using a fairly low gear. This gets me to about 5 MPH (it's doesn't need to be exactly 5MPH and I dont check the speed on the computer) very...

    Got my Cytronex!

    Hi wotwozere I have 2 dodgy knees. Mine give me a lot of gip when walking especially with a backpack weighing a stone - walking from public car park to office 15 mins away. The most I've done on my Cytronix in one go is 9 miles and I've had no knee issues whatsoever. Walking any distance is...

    Got my Cytronex!

    I'm glad - I think everything you ever said about the bike was right. Before I ordered I had considered having it for 6 months and selling it if I didn't take to it. It's not an option now! Maybe I'll see you on the road sometime. Won't be hard to spot.:D

    Got my Cytronex!

    Ettica That's some saving you've made on just fuel alone! You're probably going to save on tyres, spare parts and servicing too.You might even get an insurance discount for doing less miles. I'm sure your muscles will get use to the exercise. I'm feeling a bit tender in places myself. All the...

    Got my Cytronex!

    Thanks for the positive responses. Great to get when you've never posted anything on a forum before. I'm on holiday this week and the weather has been good so I've had lots of opportunity to go out and explore. I ventured out down the country lanes today. Very pleasant too. Sadly some of...

    Got my Cytronex!

    Hi I'm a new member and this is my first posting. I ordered my new Cytronex Trek 7.3FX last Tuesday and picked it up on Saturday morning. Not bad for starters! 6 months agonising over whether to get one and a few days from ordering to sticking it in the boot of the car. I'd seen the bike...
