I didn't manage to get the bike out at all today because of the rainstorms but the forecast for tomorrow is looking better so hopefully I'll try it out then

Balance definately is the issue but I find if I can peddle that really helps me to keep my balance - don't know why, but it does!

50 inch wheels?

Have now looked at lcd and manual - wheel size is in inches and can be adjusted by 0.1 increments from 1 to 50

No, because I reset it to 20" thinking I was doing the right thing but now I know better :)

yes there is - in fact the meter was set for 26" wheels when I got it instead of 20" so I will see how large I can set it for! Also I have found that there is a disc just inside where the pedal goes through the frame and it has 12 magnets with a reader that blinks as they pass round it.

Peter the idea of changing the front chain wheel might just be the answer! It had never occurred to me but it makes complete sense and means I could pedal at a slow, smooth pace which would let me keep my balance but with the bike travelling at a much slower speed! I will definately look...

I did try to gently increase speed but it's about 5 or 6 mph and that is just too fast for the poor old girl. I keep wondering if I select 24 volts from the controller will I do any damage? I think it would be really hard to find a 24 volt battery to fit this specific bike

There is an option via the controller to select different voltages ie 24v / 36v or 48

No the speed is not restricted and when I tried it using first the hand throttle and then later by pedal it easily topped over 20 mph. There is no magnet on a spoke but you can change the number of magnets through the control unit and ( have found 46 seems to give pretty much the correct speed...

Hi all, I have a couple of dogs that (like me) are now getting on a bit. I can no longer walk any real distance so I treated myself to an eBike which has pretty amazing performance - but that's the problem! I really want to be able to just quietly cycle along at pretty much average walking...

So now I have retired I have lots more time to spend on the beach with my 2 Springers BUT age is catching up so what I would like is an electric bike that is good on beaches (mainly soft sand). I'm not worried about speed at all because the dogs will have to keep up but I'm not a "techy" type...

Not really - I use old style plimsoles on the boat which give a good grip but obviously they get soaked but the socks keep my feet dry. When it gets cold I put a pair of light loop fleece socks under them and that keeps me warm as toast and bone dry.:D

I have a pair of goretek socks that I use for sailing as well - they are a fairly tight fit and they keep your feet dry no matter what :D

This looks interesting from a big outfit like Tesco - thoughts? Unexpected error occurred - Tesco.Direct

Or could it have been his honest selling technique? I think you missed this wonderful bit of prose from his site "The freedom and economy of a bicycle with all the effort" :D

Sorry but is that you or the bike? :D

I have a Salisbury and I would have to agree with flecc that while it's a great bike for the price it is a bit limited in its hill climbing ability. It's not too bad if you can put in a reasonable amount of work on larger hills but otherwise it could be a bit of a struggle.

One other difference is that the Mistral is harder to pedal than the Salisbury without battery assist because it has a brush motor.
