I'm working, which is seriously frustrating. :mad: Django

Hi Simon, Thanks very much for your thoughts, the more variety we have here the better. :) I would be interested to know what sort of range you get. Thanks, Django

More than just not being mugs, these guys must have done some serious research to come up with such a location in Switzerland. :D Django

Whereas I'm trying very hard to wear my Torq out, just for the excuse to buy an f series - but the darn thing is so well made. ;) Django

Thanks Scott, much appreciated! I love the phrase, 'character of the bike for that era'. :) Django

The sticky at the top of the forum page suggests that only one Swizzbee owner has visited. Still, rasing the profile of this thread again might attract a response. I too am very interested. Django

Ian is correct regarding my light. I also have a Velo saddle, but with no built in light or reflector. Mine was bought in November 2006. Django

Hi All, It would be interesting to have a definitive list of factory upgrades on the Torq since its release together with dates. Just in the last day or two I have realised that the mudguards and lights have changed over the months. Anything else? I suspect that Flecc may well have the...

Interesting, Ian. I think a new thread is in order. Django

Hi Ian, Cable ties are a great invention - no question about it. The rear light came as standard. Cheers, Django

Very, very funny. :D Django

Peter, I have the full mudguards that came as standard and the front causes no problems for me. Before going to the DIY shop, I had a close look at the rear and thought to try a less elegant yet quicker solution first. See the picture and notice the blue cable ties towards the bottom of...

Flecc, as so often before I am indebted to you for your excellent advice. It really is greatly appreciated. Off to the DIY store I go. Django

There must be a secret to setting up mudguards so that they don't rub on the tyre everytime you hit a bump. I have grown quite adept at reaching round on my Torq and pulling the rear mudguard back into place, but it is annoying. I have tried tightening screws to no avail. Ideas welcome. Django

Good plan - right up to the point where you forget you set it and stroll into the garage. :eek: Django

Aha, the old shotgun and trip wire trick. That'll sort 'em. :eek: <joke> Django

Many thanks Flecc. That must be a seriously good motor with 22mph top speed and excellent hill climbing ability. I can feel a test ride coming on! :D Django

Very useful, Tim. Is the 'excellent' hill climbing ability of the Forza and Forte due to them having smaller wheels than those on the Torq or are there other factors? Thanks, Django

Indeed, Flecc is absolutely right that you need to try the Torq on equivalent hills first, but if your motivation is in part to get a bit fitter, then you are in pretty much the same position I was when considering an e-bike. Our Shropshire rolling hills certainly test both rider and machine...

I just spotted a new electric bike shop in Shrewsbury!! Still haven't seen one on the move though (a bike, not a shop) :D Django
