forgot to add a picture..

Thanks for info Steve. Mine has a Gates drive & I have to say it is super smooth. Picked up the bikes today & managed to go out for about an hour from where we live along the cycle paths (pretty flat) into Derby to the new velodrome & back. Took it steady, stopping every half mile or so to...

2x Kalkhoff Agattu Premium 8's ordered & paid for today at 50 Cycles in Loughborough. Cross bar for me & step through for the Mrs. Thank god I have made a decision at long last :D Picking them up in the morning :cool: Mrs. was well chuffed with how it performed & initially though she was...

Hi Tim. I will be seeing James at Loughborough tomorrow for a chat. Scott got back to me last night at 9.30.

Thanks for the offer of the price match. I take your point on the credit card idea but I just want to pay & be done with it deal.

Quite agree on the bank thing Benjahmin. At one time banks could only lend on cash deposits from savers but now they just create money at will & the ponzi scheme which is out of control just seems to keep going. Going back to the 18 month interest free part, I have found a website that...

I can't. I've used my only bullet ;) Oh go on then,,,,,,,,, Found another supplier that does the Impulse2 / 612W combo but not a Kalkhoff - prices look good & I will be down there on Wednesday afternoon to open negotiations.

I did say that I wouldn't post any monies involved in an earlier thread & my intuition tells me that 50 cycles (and others) may watching with interest where this one goes but there is no way I am paying full price when 0% over 18 months is available & I don't want the finance especially for 2...

That's good to know Steve. I have a branch only 15 miles from me & out of all the bikes they do catch my eye (I think it's the 612wh battery that got me interested initially) but we'll see.

OK with me but it wouldn't make public any deals done. Anyway, as of yet there hasn't been any reply so I am looking at other bikes (Rotwild has just come into my radar!!) Have you got anything you would like to share ?

Thanks for the replies. I have asked the question to 50 cycles about discounts for 2 bikes totaling £4800 without finance & had no response as of yet.

Having looked around at various websites & noting that many do interest free credit it made me wonder how does this work ? I suppose I know the answer but I am just throwing this out there to you guys. If I wanted a bike for £2k (actually I do & I want 2 bikes) I was thinking paying it all up...

I was in BMW Stratstone Derby a few weeks ago just browsing round & saw an electric bike which caught my eye more than the cars to be honest as I didn't expect to see one. It was up for £2400 if I remember correctly & just browsing the collection of electric bikes on eBay it was on sale (From...

looks like it is EUR1,999 now

I can sympathise with you. I have been watching the Euro for a while & have been looking at bikes for a couple of months so i would have though most stock would have been sold on by now at the old prices. Some people have been saying get your order in now to avoid disappointment which suggest...

Thanks for that. I assumed there would be.

Anyone noticing any price drops on electric bikes due the pound rallying against the Euro ? Mainly thinking of the Kalkhoff's generally as these come from Germany & with the pound up by at least 10% in the last few months I would have expected to see a drop in prices for them. I need to get a...

Thanks for the replies. Still going round in circles but I am picking up the jargon although I haven't figured out what BPM means yet but I know what a BB is. Car is lovely Martin (MY12, stage 2 Litcfield) The idea is to pedal all the way on the journey so would a mid drive be a better bet ?

Thanks for the replies. If there isn't much saving to be had building my own & to be honest there is nothing that specific the it looks like a ready built bike would be best. Regarding the derailleurs I suppose it's down to having a badly adjusted gears in years gone by on not so great quality...

I thought choosing an electric bike would be easy. I assumed I would just spend a few days researching & then go "I want that one". However, 2 weeks later & I have drifted from one bike that ticks all the boxes to the next, and the next and the next............ The budget kept going higher &...
