Thank you all for your lovely replies. As much as I love the look of the Brompton, there were some significant issues with adding the electric system as it stands. Brompton have a 'no internet sales' policy, so I couldn't buy one from an online shop that I could purchase the bike AND the motor...

Well.....I have discovered the reason that the Rayleigh Stow-e way was on sale, they were just about to bring out a brand new version. So I have bought the new version of the Rayleigh Stow E Way in charcoal and orange. The only electric bikes I have to try out locally are the Freego, so I am...

Thank you, but I no longer have a garage and the bike will have to live in the cupboard under the stairs, so I really do need a folder of some description :(

Hi all My last posts were in 2012 :rolleyes: when I had purchased a Rayleigh Velo Trail through the Cyclescheme. Well that has been and gone and although I loved how the pedal assist just gently edged in (none of that horrid jerk forward when the motor kicks in) it was just so incredibly heavy...

It wont be long before I start commuting (waiting for CycleScheme Raleigh Velo Trail bike) however my route to work is full of children walking to school and also cars taking the same route. I live in a rural area and for some of these children there is no option but to go in the car. I work in...

Thank you for that info Flecc, today I went for another quite a long ride on it and have now requested my Cyclescheme certificate for that bike, as I work for Cheshire East they have a pretty good system all set up and Ive had a phone call to say that it all looks okay and should get the...

After trying as many bikes as I could actually find to try, I have decided to hopefully get (applying via Cyclescheme) the Raleigh Velo Trail bike. I prefer the feel of this bike, its a lot more natural, after all I do like cycling, just dont have the stamina I used to. The way that the torque...

Looks great :D you have to be aware of several things though as I found out to my cost. The child on the back is quite low down so difficult for drivers to see, the tag-along bikes have flags that stick up out of the back. You can get the clips and flags online. You have to make sure that...

Well I went to All about the Bike today, took quite a long time as we got stuck in traffic so had to buy my friend lunch as compensation lol They were extremely helpful and I tried: Juicy Classic Schwinn Tailwind Python Epass I saw they also had a Freego Eagle but as I had already tried...

Mmm but I need to be able to use the pedal part more often than the throttle tbh. That feeling of lurching forward was like being in the passenger seat when someone is driving badly. Didnt like it at all. Im not going to be a long distance cycler and live in a village so dont need speed, just...

Argghghghghgh You know when you had an idea about something and it gets completely turned upside down? I went to the dealer again near me today that had the Freego Hawk step through but this time I had a go. I was on the bike, it took several turns of the pedals to get the motor to kick in...

I have just got my friend to agree to take me to 'All about the Bike' at the weekend, will phone them tomorrow to see what test bikes they have. Thank you for your reply Bob, at least if I can see them all in the flesh/metal lol then it will help no end.

So out of those three bikes Flecc, which would you go for? :)

Flecc - re the 26" wheels, 5 years ago I bought a cheap Halfords Mountain bike to muck about with the children on, it had 26" wheels albeit mountain bike ones. Totally the wrong purchase but it was good at the time for riding on the tracks with my boys. However on the road it was like riding...

Following on from my thread below, unless someone comes up with anything else, these appear to be my three options. Can anyone help me compare them a bit more please as Ive found no real indepth reviews on any of them :confused: The bike is to be bought on the Cycle scheme so I have an...

So what size is the Classic please? Does it have hybrid tyres? :D

Okay....so... My choice appears to be: The Freego Hawk with stepthrough. This is at a local dealership. Lithium 36v 10ah Weight without battery 22kg, seems to be quite a bulky bike although I like the battery placement. Seems extremely heavy, welding looked a bit messy. Not too sure what...

Hi Bob :) Sadly Im right down in Nantwich and that shop is about 42 miles away, through Chester and them some, so still some considerable distance away and I had enough trouble getting a friend to take me to the bikes today. Its a real shame though as I really like the look of your classic...

Problem with going with Juicy Bikes is that if I have a problem I cant get to them. Ive also just read a really interesting review re one of their bikes and a long term test :( I think Im going to have to find someone quite close so I can get to them should I have any issues. Part of the...

Hiya :) What did you end up buying Woakesy and where did you get it from? Hi Juicy Bikes :)
