Hi all I have a Juicy Sport 36V/10Ah battery and a charger (the latter is held together with sticky-tape) left over from a stolen bike. This has been recharged nearly every night for 27 months, and still appears to have a good bit of oomph in it. I was still getting ~12miles of range from...

Hi all. I'm looking to get a new bike, and am planning to spend at least £1,500 (and I recently saw some very tasty bikes that are tempting me to raise it a few hundred extra!). Having just had a bike stolen, I would be greatly worried about parking such an expensive thing, especially in city...

That's impressive, Hatti; thought it'd be an unbranded one. My experience of the very cheap ones is the teeth are too soft, and eventually the wobble wears them away in a shower of iron filings, regardless of how much it is tightened. But a ProMax one should be okay!

I agree that a reason for deletion would be helpful - reassurance that it was with the agreement of both parties would be good. Whilst I am only an occasional contributor, I personally don't mind commercial posts. For the most part, these are relatively small businesses, which I quite like...

Are you planning to swap out some of the ultra-cheap components straight away, d8veh? I'd be inclined to at least have replacements to hand for the stem (adjustable ones tend to develop a wobble, so swap it for a rigid one) and the front shocks (cheap ones deflate quickly). Should be...

I'm central Birmingham, near enough. I've no car, but happy to take the train - hopefully will be seeing a few bike shops this week.

Andrew, d8veh mentioned earlier in the thread that you might have some ex-demo Oxygens sitting in your dealer network somewhere. Could you check and let me know?

Hi Rami They're very nice looking machines, with an excellent weight profile and good pricing. I'm used to rear-wheel drive however, and whilst I'll probably give central-drive a try, I understand front-drive to have slipping problems in the wet: I need an all-weathers bike. I'd also be...

That sounds like well worth a look, thanks Tim. Let me know if it would okay to come see it tomorrow - I'd be coming in by train.

Hi all I might consider one of the above brands or similar, with a MTB/commuter/hybrid frame, as second-hand or ex-demo. Ideally it would still have some transferable warranty left, and have decent hydraulic disk brakes (or can have them fitted). I should think I am looking for a 10-12AH...

Hatti, phew, £50 for an extra year guarantee on electrics? That is excellent, since that's the thing most likely to break after the first year. Do you have a dealer network, out of interest?

barrycoll, surely you've been in touch with that supplier to ask for your security deposit? :confused:

Ultimately people are usually looking for a reasonable cost of usage together with minimal wastage. My old Juicy MTB cost me £49/month over 27 months (including alternative transport costs when off-road) - for that price I could buy one of these, replace it with the same again a year later, and...

RobF, yes ;) Hatti, not sure I should start a new thread for this, but certainly relevant to your bikes. I couldn't find your warranty info on your website, but would assume it's a year on everything bar consumables. Could customers elect to pay an extra sum when purchasing, for an additional...

This looks like a nice bike given it's half the cost of a Wisper. It's great that people working to a low price-point have electric options, imo :)

I should think a shoulder-slung record bag would do the trick - search on eBay, you'll get one for less than a tenner.

Good points GaRRy. Yes, cost is a prohibitive factor. However I'd say that several bikes within a range would handle similarly, so I could (for example) try a 2012 Wisper of any MTB model, and not worry that it was a 906 Alpino or a 905e. Juicy Bike admittedly are importers as well as sellers...

Hi all Just phoned up a bike dealer, and asked them if prospective buyers may take a demo model out on the local roads. The answer was no, but I could try one in the carpark - sounded like I was being offered a new one to try :eek: I'd expect when buying a bike brand new that it wouldn't have...

Great stuff, a good change I think. Ah, that sounds about right, good stuff; mine came in circa 23Kg on the scales, with the 10AH :)

That'd be lovely, will give your shop a call this week. I've a little list of things to try :D
