My money would be on Wisper extending their range to include a crank driven model. This is purely a guess.

Now wait a minute, you can't titillate us with this sort of information and then clam-up. Now you have mentioned a new development, you are bound by forum etiquette to reveal all ( ebike info, not your trouser equipment). You may be asked to leave the forum unless you, play the game and do the...

I don't know if the Tonaro is a poor choice of bike. It may be an increadably poor choice, or on the other hand it could represent excellent value for money. I just don't know, because like you I've never owned one. All that we can say for sure is that the people who own them seem more than...

No, just buy some of my lucky heather and ebike knowledge will be bestowed upon you.

I might be ......

I know that ebike owners spring to the defence of the brand that they have chosen to buy, and that there is a tendency broadcast how delighted they are with the new machine. But you must admit, the Tonaro bikes seem to be commanding praise from many quarters. Some of these Tonaro owners have...

Quite an interesting line-up. I see the Pro Connect has a 350 Watt Bosch motor. That must be for the German speedy classification.

Totally agree. Driving the pedal crank similar to Panasonic and Bosch is the correct way to power these bikes. It's more efficient, gives flexibility to the motor through the gears and feels more natural to the rider. I suppose the attraction of hub motors to the manufacturer is that it's...

I don't think that ebikes are all about an ability to ride up hill unassisted (accepting that we all have different reasons for buying them). In my case, I can certainly ride up hills without assistance and I frequently run up them. My need for an ebike stems from where and when I want to...

What we have to remember is that our electric bikes are classed as bicycles and because of this we enjoy many privilages and easments over a motorcycle or moped. No helmet, no MoT, no insurance, no VEL, and ability to ride on cycle paths to name but a few. I view the electrical assist...

It's been done. I remember seeing foam sausages of various size for sale a few years ago and I believe it was a man from Nottingham who marketed the idea. There was some dispute over the patent and they disapeared from sale. I have never seen them since.

I am a member of the Tingha and Tucker Club. Although I have not paid my subscription for many years, Jean Morton (Auntie Jean) hasn't notified me that my membership has lapsed, so I must still be a member.

With your budget, it opens up many options and you should try a few different bikes. Certainly try a crank driven machine. The Panasonic system is very well developed, reliable and refined and definitely worthy of consideration. Although I have no experience of them, the Tonaro bikes are getting...

Definitely not a Mac Guru, just a convert. iWork is worthy of a good period of trial. It has some nice easy to use features, but you can be put off by lack of familiarity. I'm used to it now and wouldn't go back to MS Office. The same goes the Mac Mail, I much prefer it to Outlook. But this...

I can't say that I have noticed any slowdown of the system side installing Windows. There are a couple of pieces of software which I need to run on a very occaisional basis (Memory Map and an accounting program). Now that I no longer own a PC, other than buying something specifically to run...

I like iWorks in preference to MS Office. It's a personal thing, but once you get used to it the applications within iWork are much more logical to use. Mail Act-on adds some useful functionality to the email application. If you are going to be using Windows, Parallels 6 is good. It allows...

Interesting, but why do these companies always try and re-invent the bicycle and whilst they are at it, the wheel as well? Haven't bikes evolved to the stage where they are about as efficient as they are going to get?

Or so you think............

I remember that model now. I couldn't remember which model I tried when looking for my first bike, but the regenerating feature you mention reminded me. Agreed, it's not a good bike, feels sluggish and gives the impression of riding through 3" deep mud with the power off. I think that they were...

I think the Twist 2 has received pretty mediocre reviews. The main thing to consider with an electric bike, particulary a second hand one, is the battery. Find out how much a new battery costs for the bike you are interested in and if the bike is anywhere near 2 years old, or older, assume...
