delite hybrid II

hang on, all the advertisers on this forum are much better than this.

why do I have this sinking feeling that when it comes to after sale, the whole distribution channels simply don't compare favourably against the direct importers' despite higher costs to the brands and customers? it does not cost much more to send a wheel from Spain to Sunderland than from...

besides legal issues, if the rim or some spokes are faulty, another LBS may not have access to spare parts any more quickly than the BH dealer.

on Chinese batteries, the fuel gauge indicates battery voltage, linear to the voltage. The voltage corresponds to a logarithmic scale of the charge. If you have 3 bars, then they correspond roughly to 100% to 50%, 50%-25%, 25%-0%. If you have 4 bars then they correspond roughly to 100%-50%...

yes, it's a shame that the OP has not tried your Ariba and Eiger, they are certainly not your average 250W Chinese bikes, much better equiped than the Prism and cheaper too. I am aware of the Eiger, crank drive with the NuVinci, not the first Chinese hub drive with NuVinci I mentioned in my...

the BB tube may be stiffened by the battery cage. The NuVinci is certainly a first on a Chinese hub bike, a tad expensive though. manufacturer's link: http://www.powfu-vehicle.com/products.asp?Action=Detail&ID=87 http://czhlclbj.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-213776876/EN15194_Electric_bike.html

is it just me or anyone who rides a self build tends to be more critical of the dealers?

it looks like you have found the right bike (Joule). I don't know what you think about dealers derestricting their demo bikes, but be warned on one thing though, there isn't anyone assembling e-bikes in the UK at the moment. The anti-dumping duty on the mechanical bikes is so high that it...

be careful of grey imports. Ask before you hand over the dosh.

I agree totally. The manufacturers concede a reasonable margin to the dealer to ensure that the customers get a good service when it comes to situations like these - about 25 - 28% of what you paid went to the dealer, for what? After a week, I'd insist to see the proof that the dealer has acted...

filsgreen, think also about total cost of ownership. Set yourself a limit on cost per mile, 20p? 50p? then see how long you need the bike to work faultlessly to amortize your investment.

The BoE does that and called it QE. The property market is another fair bet.

You dealer should really have toned down your expectations of Chinese made bikes when he proposed selling the bike to you and later, when you come to him for replacing the PAS disc. 'top quality' should be taken as 'top quality in its class', or 'top quality in comparison to similarly priced...

where is the new forum?

golden rule: ebay.co.uk is always cheaper, direct import 'samples, no commercial value' only as last resort.

gamblers: have you tried spread betting?

instead of blaming kudos, you could have blamed the dealer.

petitfilou, are you French? if you are, you could have registered it and got it insured in France.

I wonder if you can already print a steel spring?
