Hello, new Sheffield member here, very pleased to have found this informative and friendly sounding site.
Having had an interest in Ebikes for a while, I recently bought a 2003 giant Lafree twist Comfort (Nexus4speed), and I love it! Use it as an urban runaround. Very impressed with the build quality and rideability (power on or off)
I have had a 9a/hr battery re-celled locally (so far so good - details avail if anyone wants them) and I have the original 6.5a/hr battery set (reads full capacity) available to sell reasonably if anyone is interested.
I'm going to build up an 8 speed wheel to experiment with and see if the more extreme Sheffield hills can be tamed.
Does anyone know if the Drivetrain is serviceable? (ie grease points on motor/box) to prolong its life.
Now trying to resist buying a newer Ebike!
Thanks, and nice to meet you.
