Hi Everyone,
I just thought I would update you all and tell you all about my experience which I had with E Bikes Direct. I went along to see them the other day to have a look at their range of electric bikes, the one that I was most interest to me was the Gepida Reptila 1000. Whilst I was there I was able to test ride lots of different bikes, to help me make my final decision I had a go on the Powacycle Salisbury Lpx which was a really nice bike & seemed to be well equipped for the money. Also the Wiper 905 Se City and Se Sport, both of these models of bike were very powerful & impressive. But the one that really stood out from the crowed was the Gepida, The build quality & the looks were second to none and the best I saw out of all the bikes even down to the riding quality of this wonderful machine. I sure it was down to Yamaha crank drive system which made the whole experience so enjoyable It was smooth, powerful and very agile on the road. It also boasted some fantastic equipment which included Bush & Muller front & rear lights, Rear pannier rack which also had a funky little pump attached to it. The Rst front suspension forks coupled with the very comfy seat & suspension seat post (I did not know such a thing existed) I was that impressed with the bikes both my wife and I had to have one.

So we took delivery of them yesterday and put them straight on charge, So we have been out today on our newly charged bikes and hit the road in the Country side of East Sussex, as some of you might know what the area does have its fair share of hills. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and Ashdown Forest and went for the longest ride I think we have ever done on a bike a massive 25ish miles and still had power left in the battery I expected to have a num bum by the time we got back But I think the pub lunch and a few beers helped with that. I am that impressed with these bike I thought I should do the Wright thing and tell you all about my experience with these bikes just as some of you did with the bikes that you had purchased else were.

I would just like to thank the guys at E Bikes Direct for their patients and very helpful and professional manner in the way they helped me making my decision even though the bike had already done it for me.

Thanks

Hi James

Glad you like your new Gepida bikes, this type of chain drive pedelec unit is just the job for hills as you've found. It doesn't surprise me that you found the quality of the bike outstanding against the others, European production standards and finishes do put the Oriental ones into the shade.

We have masses of knowledge of the very similar Panasonic systems but none as yet with the new Yamaha unit on your bikes, so we'd be grateful if you'd keep us informed over time of your experiences.

HI Flec,

I would love to keep everybody updated on the bike and of my experience with the Yamaha system and hopefully be of some help to others on it.

Thanks

Hi James,

I am really pleased that Jane & yourself are enjoying your new Gepida bikes, You certainly pick the best day for a ride in the country side. As Flec said it would be really nice if you could keep everybody posted about your future experiences of the Gepida, Yamaha Crank Driven bike.

All the best
