Thanks, I'll give them a try.

Just 9 bikes to start with.

Has anyone managed to arrange insurance on e-bikes for hire?

Our website has just gone live. Bike Higher is our new business providing electric bikes for adventure breaks touring the South-West. We are using a fleet of Kalkhoff Sahel Compacts that we hope will have 'youth appeal'. Take a look at the website Home and spread the word amongst friends and...

It was actually Porthmeor Beach Tillson, just round the corner. Beautiful morning yesterday and a lovely ride (very hilly on the road between Penzance and St Ives). Typically it didn't last and we got soaked on the ride back in the afternoon.

Well, I bought the Sahel Compact Nexus. In fact I bought 9 and am in the process of setting up an electric bike adventure business in Devon / Cornwall. I will post more details in due course but thought you might like to see a picture I took today at St Ives. The bike gets admiring looks...

I use these on my Brompton, they fit over the bar end and only use about 1.5cm of space. Very comfortable. Cane Creek Ergo Bar End Grip II - Black `One Size

This bike is now Sold.

The Nano kit on the Specialised hybrid is a great bike for cyclists who want a bit of help. It's for sale if anyone is interested - in classified section and on eBay. Got to be worth £500 but might go for less - grab yourself a bargain!

Must sell this week. This is now on Ebay with a starting bid of £250. Grab yourself a bargain - great bike for very little money. PM me with any better offers if you don't use Ebay. Item number : 261122699502

Thanks for the offer Eddie. I was up in Alton visiting my mum so just popped up the M3 for this quick test. I live down in Devon so it's not so easy to try these exotic machines normally. I saw the AVE MH7 at the Blenheim Palace cycle event in August but my focus was on Bromptons at that point -...

I managed to have a quick test ride on the Sahel Compact yesterday. In the dark and with no hills anywhere near Hampton Wick it is difficult to give any proper evaluation. It was solid, fun and willing (on the flat) and was a comfortable ride. The cut off at 15mph is very abrupt, I assume a bit...

Tim, See my email to you.

Thanks Eddie. I have seen a couple of comments about Impulse system on other threads - I wonder if anyone has a positive thing to say about them? What range do you get from that 8Ah battery on the AVE?

Anyone got / tried one of these. Looks nice (to me). Especially interested in any comparisons between the Impulse system on this and the Bosch powered AVE-MH7. How do you think these 2 bikes compare? Folding e-Bike - 2012 Kalkhoff Sahel Compact Nexus Electric Bike Sales - Shop Online for...

I was there for the Sunday and it was a great event. Nice to meet some of you. I include a photo of the Brompton marathon showing off the wonderful location. As our Bromptons are electrified we weren't allowed to enter.

Best offer so far is £800. Anyone on the forum prepared to better that for one of the best e-bikes around?
