Maybe we should try the bikes side by side? Maybe we should try each others? I personally don't think I would experience the speed, looks, performance or the service from the Kalkhoff range that I do from Wisper. I know I made the right decision :) But hey, prove me wrong :D Anyone in my...

Trust me Killjoy You have not made the wrong decision so don't you go worrying :D I love my WisperSE bought in January, okay from Germany and not from the UK but I have nothing but praise for the bike and from Doug and David at Wisper UK who, I have to say are the most helpful and friendliest...

Hi Steve Well I am building up to the packing up so we will see :D Going electric will sure help your knees and your hip. It helps my back especially on a bad day. Let us know how you go if you convert your Brompton, I am sure you will love it! All the best Mandy

It can also depend on the metabolism of an individual? Ok, I may be one of the fortunate one's and do not gain weight unless I totally pig out, lol! However, as regards to muscle tone etc ebiking (if you cannot easily ride a normal bike) is the way to go as you do not only use your legs for...

Ditto, I can no longer ride a scooter with any confidence of not recieving muscle spasms in my lower back but on an electric bike I am liberated as I tend to use cycle paths and if the worst came to the worst it is much safer to be stranded on a cycle path/path rather than with a heavy machine...

Don't let it put you off Poppy. You just gotta get back on the horse (okay this is an english term for don't give up) We all have accidents from time to time, it is just one of those things I guess? Unfortunately :( Mandy

Hi Steve Welcome to the forum. I haven't checked if you posted before in the new member thread but noticed "first post" so wanted to welcome you :) Well fair play to you and glad it is working for you. I wish I could go cold Turkey but I am not sure I could? My dad gave up at 65 by just...

Hey Poppy As I explained, I bought my bike from Germany on Ebay and it is not the current UK specifications for the newly launched 905SE in the UK. However, I took the plunge and bought it for a very good price. There was a problem with a wiring fault on these particular bikes and this was...

Well put :D I miss that smokey smell in the pubs, now all they smell of is B O and sweaty feet so much staler than then they used to, or is it the pubs I visit --------------- :D

Hi Poppy Blimey worrying about all that and all those figures could bring on a heart attack :eek: Me too, surfing (net that is), watching TV, reading, Wii ing on line (too many doing that), jogging and having breaks at work :D

Hola Charles que concuerdo como que fumo también alrededor de un paquete un día y trato y equilibro esto fuera con ejercicio y comer fruta, las verduras y la proteína. Así que no va preocuparlo Amapola enferma Considera Mandy :)

Hear Hear, I need to get to that point and not just for health but the cost of the cigs in the UK!!!

I agree, I am the same and when I am in an airport or on a plane and know I can't smoke then I don't climb the walls like I used to. I think I am ready to pack it in again but need a kick up the butt to do so! :)

I am sure he would Russell :) My dad sadly died of lung cancer at the age of 80, just 1 month exactly after his 80th birthday of which we enjoyed a memorable and loved family meal. He smoked Weights, untipped and guess he was a heavy smoker but gave up at 65 on the arrival of his first...

Ah Bless and at least you were trying to do your wife a good turn and love your story :) Sounds like your wife has a good sense of humour and good on her and glad it didn't turn out too serious, injury wise for you both :) You are right about ebikes as they are not as predictable as normal...

Hi Poppy I am sorry to hear of your tumble and hope all is well now? I haven't fallen off my electric bikes so far (tempting fate or what?) Although I did come off a couple of my scooters in the past which were owned over 18years, once on ice and once when a car pulled out in front of...

Hi Gary Welcome to the forum :) . I have the SE bought from Germany and have to agree with you on the frame sizes. I am 5ft 2 inch and had a hell of a job getting my leg over the frame at first and it made me feel a little unsafe for a short while. I mastered the alighting by leaning the...

Hi Richard Blimey, haven't had spam for years!! I remember spam fritters as a kid and did enjoy them but that was in batter Richard, banana one's too. Do people still make them? Mind you guess they are not deemed healthy enough nowdays? :D 5 a day of this and 5 a day of that :( Hope...

Hi John Yes I too like the different ways the guys on here cope with the wet weather and so obviously far better than me and you too have helped me in my quest for the perfect water proofing :) I ride around 5 mile too and from work 10 mile all told and choose to use some off road paths...

Thanks Sector Your breathable waterproofs sound similar to mine? Mine get real muddy due to the paths I take and I shower them down in the bath to get the mud off. I was thinking of putting them in the washing machine but if I would need to get them re-proofed I am not so sure? Would I have...
