Replacing 7 years old Freego Eagle

[Nick Langley]

After a "road incident" the time has come to retire my Eagle and look for a replacement.

I have been very happy with the Eagle though it is quite heavy and I assume that there have been improvements since mine came off the production line.

I use the bike for short journeys (10-15 miles max) on urban roads so I am not looking for anything with off-road capabilities.

My budget is up-to £2000, but having a 16Ah battery which is only eighteen months old is a factor in my considerations.

Hi nick just replaced my 6year old Eagle with an Oxygen ST Cross,and it really is great for what you are requiring. As you say the Eagle is a good bike but a bit heavy and difficult to use without power. I am now finding that I do a lot more unassisted riding which with 13a battery gives me ample range. Worth a try. Of course there are many other great bikes which will benefit from a trial. Some of the imported Chines bikes are going to be rising in price due to EU tariffs so may be a good idea to move quickly

Hi Nick,

The 905 or 705Torque would fit your needs perfectly, Only £1599.00 a real stunner to ride.

Have a look.

Hi Nick,

The new Freego models should be just as durable but probably only a little bit lighter.

Your existing battery should be compatible with a few brands. Why not keep that and buy a bike without a battery?

Who sells bikes without batteries?

We do, when it makes sense and I'm sure others would too.

Do you have any preference for a torque (the more pressure you put on the peddles the more the motor gives) for a more natural feeling or just a cadace system where the motor cuts in more based on the assist level you have set (and how fast you peddle)?

Test rode quite a few of both types recently all a bit under your budget and found the experience quite different. While everyone has different preferences, I liked the Wisper Torque models (comfortable with a good level of assistance), Juicy's Roller (very natural feeling, but not enough assistance for me in my current fatigued state), and the Oxygen Cross (fun to ride).
