Yes indeed, fondest seasonal felicitations to you all. Just off to the pub, it's still bucketing down outside!!!!

In normal circumstances I would have to agree, I dont usually set out if its already raining heavily. However, a new barmaid was due to start at my local, and as such the trip was categorised as 'an essential journey'. As luck would have it, I think I rather blew my chances of any romantic...

It would appear that 'enjoyment' is a variable, and can be derived from a wide range of fun experiences. Last night, on the way back from the pub, I experienced the worst weather I have ever encountered on my Ebike. Incredibly heavy rain, the road was awash over it's full width with a river...

Hi RobF, That looks similar to mine although the light body is a bit shorter than the version I got. I think mine was 1600 lumens, buts that's all nonsense anyway. I'm sure the one you linked to would be fine, unless you plan serious off roading. In the woods its almost too bright, the...

I carry a small lump of wax chalk in my kit, and use this to mark the valve position before removing the tyre, that way you can match the valve up and see exactly where the puncture took place as D8veh mentions. I've had lots of punctures!

I also like riding at night, its dark all the time at the moment so little option. Good lights are essential though to spot the potholes, which are currently reaching biblical proportions. Last night whilst driving to a Christmas do, a large pothole had removed the left front wheel and...

Welcome indeed. We need more ebikes in East Sussex.

Fantastic D8Veh. Where would we all be without your expertise and helpfulness. For no particular reason, the prospect of cutting and soldering power cables is a bit scary, but I would really like to fit one as my Christmas present. I'm off to bed now, but tomorrow I'll extract the controller...

I've been experiencing urges to fit a Cycle Analyst to my bike. The main reason for this is that it would be very useful to know exactly how much current I have used, and accordingly can accurately maximise range. I have the 'Silver Fish' style behind the seat battery which connects at the...

Eagle Update. In the interests of completeness I thought it’s time for an update on my Freego Eagle, which I have owned for a little over 12 months now. Further to previous missives, I am very pleased to say that there is not a great deal I can add to previous reviews above, because there...

Indeed, the benefits of ebikes can be truly miraculous. I'm so chuffed I was 'saved' by discovering ebikes a year ago. Keep up the good work, lavish treasures await you!

I had knee problems remaining from an accident long before I got an ebike. Basically I bashed the side of my left knee on a tree whilst on my way to a heavy impact with the ground. Ever since, any attempt to cycle more than half a mile made the knee swell up. It felt as though it needed oiling...

Great Vid Blew it, I really enjoyed it. A good tonic as the rain pelts down outside as I write. Bike looks nice too.

That looks nice and sporty Hatti, good price too.

Welcome Trigpup, Congratulations on your new ebikes, I'm sure you will have a lot of fun. I'd hang on to your old bikes, you may find that the increased fitness from regular ebiking will, in time make them useable again. With electric assistance you seem to get the exercise without...

Notwithstanding the merits or otherwise of manufacturing ones product in one place or another, I believe the title of this thread made for a light hearted jibe at some of the more inflexible attitudes that appear on this forum from time to time. We are all different, there would be little...

Mmmmm! Want one.

Both the bikes you mention would complete a 13 mile flat commute on throttle only, without a single rotation of the pedals if you prefer, so no 'sweat issues'. Steep hills will require pedalling and will generate heat, but you should be fine on a towpath.

There's a Freego dealer in Cromer and another in Ipswich. I have a Freego Eagle and it's been great for 1700 miles over 11 months. I am 5' 9" and its very comfy so should be fine for you both. It really is worth taking a long day out and visiting as many dealers as you can to try as many...

Interesting, they appear to have dropped all crank drive versions in favour of hub drive across the range for 2013 according to the chap in the video! I rode the off road 650 with Panasonic power and the Xenion 650 with Bosch power. Really nice quality bikes, but I didn't like the Panasonic...
