I lurked for quite a while well over a year ago as it seemed impossible to get approval, ......eventually I gave up until returning this year and bingo.....gremlins gone.......quick approval and the opportunity to get lots of much needed advice and opinions from lots of different people with obviously a lot more knowledge than I had......but as they say......learning every day......and you never STOP learning........
Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far (especially our pedelec guru Flecc )

This is a great site

I am a newbie and love my new e-bike but I also love this forum. People patiently answering questions that must have been asked many times before and for that, I thank you all.

If ever I get a chance to help anyone go through the pre-purchase and purchase process, I will help when I feel confidently able to.

God bless this forum and all who post in her.

I took a long time because I lurked at work - and the computer system didn't allow me to subscribe!

I admit now to doing both now days. I use two browsers, permanently logged in on IE, and never log in on Firefox.

No doubt it’s because some people are frightened by beautiful, interesting women; whereas for my part I've got over that

As you dont need to log in to read posts only to reply theres is a good chance most of those "guests" are registered users any way especially if they are using a public PC.

[Croxden]

I joined so I could seek advice on buying a pedelec. The advice was to try a few, I have and now am more confused.

 

[OldBob1]

Hi Croxden the thing is find one you feel good on and then use it and adjust, and add to till its great!!!

Thanks OldBob1,
The one I felt was the best was the BH-Neo Jumper but I think old men of 70 should be looking at a Kalkhoff or similar fuddy fuddy type of bike. It was so tempting, like admiring the new blonde barmaid.
