    cycle lanes

    i agree that there are lots of places where it can't be done,but i also know of lots of places where there are big wide footpaths and no pedestrians and also grass verges which in themselves cost a lot to maintain which could create cycle lanes. There is a road which used to be a suicide road...

    New Powabyke

    Rod, i think you are confusing Powabyke with Powacyle,two completely different companies....and two different bikes,but will be in the same market as the Cytronex all come in at around £1000 with similar battery sizes/range

    New Powabyke

    The official figures wil be launched soon but i think the bike was about 23/24 kg with battery. Initially i think it was quoted at 27kg in its earlier days but they managed to get a bit more weight off. The battery..again i think...was 6amp lithium. My apologies if i am not exact on these figures
