did you look at the Momentum Model T? Very simple bike to ride, good specs and well made. Good price too. http://www.momentumelectric.co.uk/products/electric-bicycle/model-t/

If you choose a bike with hub gear, like one with Shimano Nexus 3-speed and a full size chainguard, the benefit of having a chain that won't come off is the same as with belt drive and you can select the most appropriate gear out of 3. I have seen e-bikes helping people with disabilities...

the woosh Gale, you can choose 10AH (£579) or 13AH battery (£619). http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gale

TS for low assist, good on flat roads. SS for high assist or heavy riders, good on hills.

that cigarette socket will be OK for a 42V 2A charger. the 300/600W is the maximum output of the converter, it will only output what is drawn by the charger. If your charger is not a fast charger, you will be OK. Read the label on the charger, you'll see something like max output 42V 2A. Add 15%...

if the roller slips on a wet tyre and or a steep gradient, the add-e can transform itself into a 600W dremmel.

probably not.

you could consider recelling instead of buying a new one.

the ATX does have lugs for a rear rack. http://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_us/bikes/models/images/2000/2015/ATX-27-5-2-black-blue.jpg

you would probably better off sticking with the new charger but if you prefer the wisper charger, you need to check the output voltage of both chargers first. The old wisper wiring have fuses on both input and output. The two small wires with the white plug is for the battery meter. The output...

you don't have to remove the freewheel, drizzle a bit of oil or smear some grease into the gap .

the freewheel needed greasing.

Rutland currently discount their 2015 Giants. This 650B Giant ATX hardtail seems good value at £279 and easy to convert. http://www.rutlandcycling.com/284961/products/2015-giant-atx-27-5-1-hardtail-mountain-bike-blue-white-red.aspx

I'd take the 40 miles claim of the Seago as optimistic. The Secret and the Seago have the same battery compartment, probably the same battery size. Kudos are member of the forum, you can be sure of the good level of support should you need it.

the main issue with very lightweight folding bikes is battery capacity, typically at most 36V 8AH. You can just about make 25 miles on a full charge but perhaps not with strong headwinds or steep hills. To avoid range anxiety, you need a 10AH or 13AH battery. tapash is selling his 3 month old...

kudosdave is a 6 footer and he rides the Secret.

if you don't park outside, nothing to worry about. If you park outside, you need to dry the bike thoroughly as soon as. Otherwise, the LCD tends to fog up. Paniers also give extra protection to rear rack battery against the elements.

woosh Gallego is the lightest of the lot (18kgs), then the Kudos Secret (19kgs). http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gallego http://www.kudoscycles.com/product_info.php?products_id=273

I saw a 24 inch crank driven half folding bike with a seat post that can go really low, a bit like the KTM Compact in their workshop in Southend. If you could go there to test it, they may swap the bike for you...
