    Frame size

    to flecc Thanks flecc...no replies as yet. I take all points on the pros of the Salisbury. Its weight, build quality, free running motor, reliability but still find my self procrastinating between this and the Synergie. I live on the Isle of Wight and its fairly hilly. Do you think my height...

    £500 Budget

    Dearer options Hi Conal. Haven't thought of buying second hand bike for precisely the uncertainty you have about battery life? Even with the cheapest option of the Synergie Mistral there is a 12month warrenty. I would imagine finding a good second hand example that is still in warrenty and...
