Hello Guys,
Long time no hear! For the members who remember me I bought the Trek Fx to help me my knee until it healed. We i just could not sell that bike, so almost 4 years down the line the bike is still performing like the day i bought it. I have to say that although the bionx kit is expensive it really is an astonishing piece of kit. 4 years down the line and I notice absolutely no battery deterioration, some of that could be I just got fitter and compensated but 4 years and thousands of miles all is well. I know they stopped importing the bike, sad day as Trek were the only manufacturer to give a proper full range of frame sizes mine is 25" unlike the children's frames they seem to offer on electric bikes, one frame does not fit all they really need to learn this.
So the knee is healed and im back onto my ridgeback panorama full time, in fact we are planning a nice big trip next year. And yes its all thanks to the electric bike this has been made possible. We are cycling from Donaueschingen (Black forest) to Budapest (1350Km) over the summer period. So to all the critics of electric bikes i raise the glass of JD and say ^&^(*, they are fantastic machines. But seriously there was no way I could have stayed cycle fit without it and I will never part with it now. There are so many more choices available now but I would still pick the Trek due to frame size. I will probably use the panorama for the trip but considering the Thorn nomad, mmm we will see.
