Launch price was £5995, but mine was bought when the list price was £4995 :eek:, but I went direct to Sony and got 15% discount. Programmes improve? :D In a sense some do actually. When a program has content that benefits from really good picture quality and good quality sound, a marginal...

I'm not into any form of game playing so that doesn't matter to me, nor do i want BlueRay. I think the latest ones have HDMI 2, hence my warning to tillson to get a current set, since there's plenty of dated stock at dealers. .

I bought a Sony 4K UHD 65" set about 18 months ago and would never want to go back to a standard HD set, it's that good. Make sure you know what you're getting though. Mine is an upscaling set that multiplies up all that it receives, so HD becomes Ultra HD and standard TV becomes much better...

It's a very individual thing Andy. I like a slightly soft gel seat but many find them worse and prefer to wear in a hard leather saddle like a Brooks, which once achieved can be very good. So you may have to spend a little to try out a hard and a soft to find what suits you best. But you only...

The unpowered A bike in the 6" wheel version has been sold for over 10 years and the 8" wheel version for 5 years, so I doubt they needed to do any testing of road characteristics. I think when riding these one has to keep a very close eye on the road surface all the time. It wouldn't take...

The standard 6" wheel A bike is £249.99, the 8" wheel model £299.99, so there's £400 for the electrics. Probably right given the very small battery. .

And with those tiny wheels and today's potholed roads you might even experience heaven quite soon! .

I think 2kW is too much for anything other then a strong steel frame and forks. Ideally the wheels should also be heavier duty specified such as with the components used on some goods bikes. If you are using a derailleur with a mid drive through it and that sort of power, the compnents won't...

Like the battery and controller, he'd probably just duct tape the passenger on board. .

Yes, swapping the standard 9 tooth motor sprocket for an 11 tooth will increase the maximum assist speed from a nominal 15 mph to 18 mph. In addition the power phase down points with speed will be delayed to higher speeds, so overall performance will be better. But of course only suitable for...

cwah might do this! It seems what he'd like, small and light enough to take upstairs into his home but an e-powered bike on the road. For him it just needs the right controller and 72 volt battery. :eek: .

It was actually designed by student Alex Kalogroulis who is the primary name on the patent. Sinclair gave him a job and got to share the credit for the A bike design in consequence, though he'd played no part in it's design. It's difficult to say no to the boss when you've been an impecunious...

Yes, October this year was slightly out, the law banning them is the Highway Act of 1835. (1984 in Scotland) I have to admire the guy's skills though, riding one of those things effectively while clutching a whole crate of bottled drinks. .

Mainly true Trex, but there are always those who are different and like the idea of a designed whole machine with more style. Cycling has many variations and I object to those who try to straight jacket everyone into certain well recognised sectors. There are customers for everything out there...

But they all do I'm afraid, not just the Continentals. From the 2001 Lafree to today's Kalkhoffs, they supply them to the USA as exactly the same pedelecs only with no full throttle option. .

It's a bit complicated, since not only were the power handling characteristics changed over time, but the bike manufacturers could specify the overall power spec that they wanted for particular models. For example Kalkhoff's Pro Connect was specified for higher power than the Agattu.the latter...

I know the specs can make the COBOC an e-bike and it could be used that way, just like the Sparta. But the person who buys one isn't going to be using it like the Sparta, they want it for it's road bike like characteristics, and the Sparta for all it's many merits will never be like that. They...

These objections are why I recommended the forks change to a disc mounts one. That would keep the Dutch character of the bike intact, such things as the chaincase and stand. Front disc brake motor kits can come with flat carrier style batteries which can be bag or box mounted on top of the...

I fear ours isn't loud enough with our small market size. If our new pedelec sales every year were nearly equal to 2% of the population as in the Netherlands, we'd be able to shout as loud. At present it's 0.05% at most. Even population size adjusted to be pro-rata, it would only be 0.18%...
