i will try to get a long story short my last droping on the fourms i was looking to but a elec bike sorry to say money got tight and just had to get in to pedel power after 3 months of biking it a few days a week to work 15 miles a day total i have gone a bought a road bike dawes giro 300 for a good price as my last few bikes have come from skips scrap yards freecycle and need to get a bike that will hope last with the amount of miles i know do with out day to day work to keep it going

and now to the point if i now do not have a elec bike is this now the right fourm to post for help on you guys and girls have been a good help with repairs on elec and a few questions non elec bikes from looking about a few years ago you are very helpfull with out the idiots sniping you get on some other fourms (not just biking sites) i must assume the people that have elec bikes are generally more grown up

please do not see this as any more that just asking for help with help with repairs /maintance and ajustments as lets face it apart from the motor they are all the same

and no i will never start wearing lycra sorry just have not got the body frame for it

I think quite a few forum members have both electric and non-electric bikes. Personally I've got no problem giving you help and advice because the bike you have is not electric. So by all means say what you need help to repair I'm quite happy to give you advice.

By all means use the forum for purely bicycle queries, many of the members e-bikes are standard bikes with added motor kits, and they also ask bike questions.

Hi angaellonewolf I started with a powabike that I got of ebay paid £120 for it and thought it was the bees knees rode it for 14 months it was great then I treated myself to an Aurora, but I wont sell the powabike because it's always there if I have any problems plus I still enjoy riding it, it's like going out in a model T ford classic biking.

You'll probably getter better quality advice here on standard bikes as the people on this forum or quite technical with alot of broad aspects.

Any help required there are more than just a few members willing to help!
