    Tonaro owners unite !

    The LBS recommended I contacted Zoco (local distributor). Awesome customer service as they're sending out a replacement wheel +hub. Should have it by friday!

    Tonaro owners unite !

    Got a little annoyed today. Got my rear wheel back after taking it in to be fixed for 2 broken spokes. Ended up being 3! Had to wait 3 days as they didn't have the gauge or length due to the alfine. Put it all back together, thought I would go for a test drive, pushed my foot on the pedal...

    cycle computer apps?

    I use strava, just to see if I am improving my times on my commute as I hopefully get a little fitter. I bought a generic iphone holder from ebay. On a trip home in the dark, I peaked at just over 52km/h on a hill, and glided over a bridge to notice that my holder was open and empty. Called...

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    Dogs don't frequent the cycle paths on the way to work. A pretty view a long the river, but have to dodge scrub turkeys, possums at night, kangaroos on the way to the pub. Even had a bearded dragon (in winter) sunning itself one morning! As for englishmen... plenty of those... most MAMILS on...

    Anyone had an interesting ride recently ?

    Not quite the scenic tours your all having, but had a few kms with the young fella today. Not sure if dodging kangaroos is interesting enough to mention :) There's an entire mob on the hill, kinda hard to see.

    The xtreme arrived today. Managed to put it together after the kids were in bed. All is pretty good apart from needing to have the front wheel trued as it's got a fair wobble. I've not ridden bike in 20 years, but suprised myself. I told the wife i was going to ride around the block unpowered...

    Tonaro owners unite !

    Still waiting for delivery, appears because of the public holiday here on Monday, it will be next Wednesday by the time I receive it... And it looks like I will be flying to blighty on a short notice trip, so I have to wait even longer. At least I can leave winter to the glory of summer, right???

    Sadly they don't offer a higher 48v at the moment. I will see how it goes, if it's not enough, I can always get a second battery at a later date. Either that or get a CA or something with a switch to govern what I put through it. Reality is, I don't know yet how it will perform, i'm 196cm and...

    I'd read about this, but the only time it's a worry, would be when you need to stop. the brakes kick in then anyhow. Apparently the sensor for the brakes kick in before the actual pads, so they can also act as a clutch. I guess I will wait and see

    If there were donkey rides and deckchairs here, it would be complete.

    Tonaro owners unite !

    Yeah, it's all covered by a warranty. I think I will install a switch beneath the battery box for the PAS so I can turn it off as required. I heard lot of people mentioning gear crunching on the standard gearing, ZOCO usually install Nuvinci, but not sure why they opted for the alfine. I've...

    Hey all, I'm Gary from Brisbane (well, for just shy of 10 years, Lincs originally so I don't feel too bad posting on a UK forum :p). I'm about to become the owner of a Zoco (Tonaro), am getting itchy to go for some rides!

    hey guys, thought i would say hi. I'm waiting on delivery of my Zoco extreme, which is one of the many names over here in oz. It's the 48v 500w version with a few other nice additions. You can see it here Xtreme/. It's my first electric bike, and will be the first bike I've ridden in over 15...
