    Any other ideas...

    Oh, that's interesting Trex - I'll have to look in to that, thanks!

    Any other ideas...

    I think most bike to work scheme limits are geared to the price once the VAT etc has been taken off so a bike with a "headline" retail price over £1000 might still be available to you if you do want to shop up the range a bit. A bike with a retail price tag of £1.5K could be available for more...

    Hello from total newbie!

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! I'm trying to avoid my usual headlong rush of enthusiasm into something new and actually take a bit more time to look into and think about this before committing myself. Kent may not be as rugged as Northumberland Yaffa but I'm sure it has its advantages (a...

    Thank you - I'll have a good look through the site to see what makes/models you stock and see if there's anything I'd like to add to the list of possibilities!

    Thank you! Am I right in thinking that Southend is the only place I could see one "in the flesh", it's web sales other than that? Also - and this is probably a dumb question - is there an advantage to a mixed approach to brakes? (I see the Santana has disc at the front, V at the back.)

    Hello from total newbie!

    Hello, just joined the forum after a while browsing and reading the wealth of info here. I'm new to the word of electric bikes but learning lots - thank you all! I live in hilly Hadrian's Wall country - it's beautiful but not that conducive to conventional cycling for the unfit. I have a couple...

    Making a shortlist!

    Hello all - there seems to be a whole host of experience and expertise here so I'm hoping you might be able to help me out a little. I've read lots of threads, reviews etc and I'm trying to build up a shortlist so I can figure out whether/where I might be able to test ride various models. I...
