    On A Positive Note

    Indeed. Thanks in particular to Russ, the indispensible Flecc and also to all members for their honest opinions. Also the Pedelecs Map has almost 50 members and coming on for 9500 hits. Well done John! (and I would also like to thank mum and dad, my hairdresser, the make up people and my...

    Hi Erik, It would be interesting to know how much the Aggatu will sell for in Denmark. Cheers, Django

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Ah yes, while you were being snowed upon keeping tabs on the forum, I was sitting by a pool in Majorca with hot sun. :D Cheers, Django

    Hi Steveu, Got you by the village hall. Welcome. :) Cheers, Django PS. At last, I beat you to it Flecc :D

    Cutting off my nose...

    Agreed. It is a sign of a healthy market that all companies will need to move forward and quite rapidly. New models from eZee and Wisper will, in due course, be forthcoming and I suspect they will once again push the boundaries of excellence. Flecc is right that most Chinese production has been...

    Cutting off my nose...

    OK, now I am getting seriously irritated. These repeated digs at eZee bikes and the explicit racism apparent in your post, Scott, are unacceptable. What precisely is it about Chinese people that makes you object to their hub motors? If it is a simple case of preferring what you term as a...

    Torq Spokes

    I completely agree with you Ian. My respect is complete. My advice remains as it is and I will continue to respect Russ if he rejects it. It is, however, a matter of simple fact that 50cycles do not have a leg to stand on (or even, some might say, a bicycle to sit on). One only has to read...

    Torq Spokes

    Now, as with the six to eight miles jibe, I wonder if 50cycles considered that to be subject to current legal wranglings before they commented. Perhaps that deleted thread can be reinstated Russ. Here we have confirmation of the split from 50cycles own mouths to a forum member. I have had it...

    Torq R.I.P?

    As I understand it, Mr Ching and 50cycles have parted company with Ezee bikes having a new partner in the UK about to come on stream. Given the problems over the last few months, this is obviously very good news indeed for those of us with Ezee bikes who have concerns about the future...

    new regulations

    And, of course, public liability insurance usually stipulates that what you are doing remains within the law. If your activity is illegal, your insurance company may well argue that your insurance is invalid. :eek: Cheers, Django

    Since I had my front wheel rebuilt with new rim and spokes I have had no fork judder whatsoever on my Torq. Cheers, Django

    Whisper UK customer serveice

    To me this is clear cut. If you buy a bike from Germany and have a problem with it, you should return it Germany for the supplier either to fix it or arrange with the manufacturer to have it fixed. The customer enters into a contract with the supplier while the supplier enters into a contract...

    Torq Spokes

    Make that three. My spokes started to go in the front wheel after 8 months or so with the bike. 50cycles didn't respond to my requests for help so I took it to my excellent local bike shop who rebuilt the whole wheel. It is now fine. Cheers, Django

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Dear All, Following the discussions above, the locations map now has restricted editing rights. At the moment, that consists of Aldby, Flecc, and Django. If any other senior member would like to help out, I would invite them to forward me their e-mail address and I will sort it. If...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    OK, in 48 hours time I will adjust the permissions and leave a note on the map suggesting that those who wish to be added should leave a request on this page where one of the editors will pick it up. To that end, your e-mail addresses would all be welcome! Others can be added later by anyone...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Hi John, I would be happy with that - and as it was your idea, your opinion holds a lot of weight! Practically, and as the 'owner', I need e-mail addresses of those who are entitled to edit in the first instance. From that point, anyone who is already a 'collaborator' can invite others...

    Where Do You Live V2.0

    Hi All, Indeed, the issue of access is one that has concerned me. At the moment, anyone with a computer can wreck the whole thing. My instinct is to keep it as open as possible, but . . . I have the facility to remove public access and place it in the hands of a few, or indeed of many, if...
