    NEW 2013 bikes

    Thanks Eddie, The Flyer 500w looks interesting. I'm currently considering the Moustache Saturday 350W 10S. B.

    Thats it. I regret to announce that I am now leaving this forum as it's clearly not technical enough. I'll have a nice life on E-S. Goodbye!

    Can someone explain how a 350W motor can be limited to 250W?

    I'm still plumped on the sofa, pregnant and trying to digest turkey, goose and too much Christmas pud amongst other things. I've seen a Speedict video which shows a Bosch 250W motor outputting 600W and am confused about what all this means? Can some explain to a numpty? Cheers, Fat Barclay.

    £3K to spend, what would you recommend?

    Agreed. My wife is now very keen, so looks like I'll have to push to max £3200 for 2 bikes.

    I'm anticipating the batteries will lose their charge/effectiveness over a defined period.

    Thanks Eddie, I'm researching the Pansonic rear hubs as we speak. What do you mean by direct drive - crank/rear hub? I looked at Cube which looked nice but with very little after sales UK support so a no no for. Green Mover looked interesting also and I agree too risky at this time.

    I'm beginning to think in this direction.

    £3K to spend, what would you recommend?

    A very fine choice. Having the flexibility to go off road is clearly a bonus. Maybe the ideal bike for me would be a 29er with racks/mudgaurds, high-power and slick tyres with the option to convert and a Rohloff hub? Does it exist?!? Am I being a unrealistic. The headache of choice is certainly...

    Nice suggestions Hugh. The Pro Connect is an S-Pedelec. Legalities aside perhaps I should be considering these too?

    £3K to spend, what would you recommend?

    Certainly sounds fast but I want a bike that we last me 4-5 years (battery replacement excluded of course) so quality is important to me.

    £3K to spend, what would you recommend?

    So could what I'm looking for be a Rohloff equipped high battery capacity bike?

    £3K to spend, what would you recommend?

    Thanks everyone for your responses! I wasn't expecting so much so soon! Perhaps I should narrow down my criteria: -Fast commuter bike -Lights, rear rack ready to go -Front suspension ideally -Long range and plenty of power -Rear hub or crank drive So far I have these on my shortlist: Grace...

    Thanks Richard, I must say I was quite impressed with the Rose range and website; It's a new brand to me but appears to be very Khalkoffesque?

    Absolutely, I'm looking at 2013 models only as the batteries appear to be much better.
