    converting to non suspension front forks

    I have a Cyclotricity revolver and it has the standard suspension fork. I think it would be better and maybe a bit lighter too with a non suspension fork and would be easier to get on and off for me as it really does make the bike oddly taller. . Does anyone have any suggestions as...

    I have been considering replacing the 52 tooth front chainwheel on my Cyclotricity Revolver with a 46 tooth as a bike shop has commended a 46. The question is though will that effect much of an improvement for setting off from standing and hills, and hill starts ...

    Battery care and chainring size

    Hello I am enjoying my mint condition used Cyclotricity Revolver which came with a 14 amp hour battery. I keep it locked up in a small brick built shed which is under a set of stone steps and I should think it is very cold in there on winter nights. I would ask is there any...

    Cycloltricity Revolver and its front suspension forks

    I have a Cyclotricity Revolver which I just purchased and it has ( as I expected) forks which are not very good and deliver a bang when going over bumps. Would it be possible to change these to something a bit better and not too expensive ? I think it would make quite a...

    I am looking at these two bikes. The Eco Expedition seems good for the money with a 10 amp hour battery compared to the 7 am hour battery on the elysium which I think is on the 8 side of 7 anyway. The Expedition has 21 gears compared to 6 on the elysium and the Expedition...

    CCyclotricity Revolver and battery range with current standard battery

    I have been considering one of these. The advantage seems to be a inexpensive introduction for casual local use. What I have noted is that the Revolver was until recently supplied with what was described as a 9amp hour battery and now is supplied with what is said to be a 7 amp hour battery...
