I'm sure that I would find one of the 12 power settings suitable. I suppose my problem is that I've not ridden other types of bike for any distance / duration, so only really know the old Panasonic system.

Just to confirm, are you saying that this bike will take a set of full length front and rear mudguards (not those seat post mounted slash protector things), and a rack suitable for carrying a set of panniers? From my point of view, these things are essential on a bike which is to be used for...

My thoughts entirely. The newer more powerful bikes actually put me off to a great extent and I would view it as a retrograde step. I like putting in a decent amount of effort myself, but I can understand that this wont suit everyone's needs and that there is a requirement for more power.

Now now, lets all play together nicely. I'll switch your computers off if you don't.

Hello Indalo I ride my bike almost exclusively in the lowest of the three power modes and always have done. For that reason, I tend to use the full range of gears available to me from the Alfine 8 speed hub, generally pulling away on level ground in 4th gear. There's more urgency to the getaway...

It is a bit odd isn't it. I wonder if there, is / was / still is, something wrong with my bike? It simply doesn't do what people are describing. Pulling way is smooth with no apparent, "kicking in" of the power. The motor is definitely doing something because if I do the same with the power...

There's plenty of room for another big light underneath the one on the far right (when viewed from the front). Shame on you.

My Panasonic powered bike has never done this. I've heard people mention this surge of power from the motor and rapid take off before, but I must say that nothing remotely like that has ever happened on my bike. I'm not complaining, I like the power delivery just the way that it is with the...

It was a bad choice of words on my part neptune. Makes me sound like a pretentious fool. Since leaving engineering I have set my goals in life as being a twat and to achieve £uck all. Things are working out just fine.

Didn't stick with it. Couldn't see much future in engineering even though I enjoyed it.

Things won't get any better whilst the present bunch are in power either. Cameron and Osbourne are making us eat their @rseholes whilst simultaneously sneering at us for not knowing which wine best accompanies their @rseholes. There exists the utmost contempt for engineers and innovators in this...

Good luck with the business and I hope that you receive plenty of business. That looks like Porthgwidden Beach to me. If it is, I was sat on those rocks in March and October this year. March was glorious, the warmest week I've had in the UK. My dog likes that beach too, he keeps it seagull free...

Careful. Justebikes might ask for the thread to be locked! Good news regarding Raleigh. The Haibikes look like nice machines.

I am hoping that with the appointment of a new Govenor of The Bank of England, the economy will start to recover and yield tangible benefits for all of us. This will inevitably lead to a general mood of benevolence amoungst the population, and people will share their new found surplus wealth...

I think most people are aware of this, but immigration has never been at the level we have seen over recent years. There is no dream, it's a stark reality that the country can't sustain the immigration fuelled population expansion that we are currently experiencing. The country's infrastructure...

Any more entering the country after a near future date ( a line in the sand if you like). It's too late and it would be unfair to require anyone who has already entered the country legally to leave now.

I can't agree with any attempt to draw a parrallel with what is happening now and the historical imigration trends of this country which go back hundreds of years. They are two completely different entities and there are no similarities. Public services such as health care, education...

I wear these and SealSkinz socks through the winter. Dry & warm feet all the time. Never found a better combination.

That's happend here, where I live. The local flower shop closed down and re-opened as a Polish Shop. Strangely, there is not a single tin of polish to be seen. The place is full of sausages with strange sounding names.

Nothing. Pleased to have been of assistance.
