Stolen Heinzman Front Hub Conversion

[pwylie]

Am p****d off having seen my bike nicked in CCTV footage at work a week ago.

Two floors down in a secured private basement made me over confident - I didn't lock my bike.

I may get some compensation from work but not enough to replace. Annoying thing is that the bike will end up in a ditch was it is useless without the battery & charger which were not attached.

If any member spots it on ebay I'd welcome being told. The bike it was fitted to was an Edinburgh Courier Race 28" wheel hybrid.

Thats a bummer, more so a conversion as they are more like the family(if you know what I mean)
Will keep eyes peeled.

Hi Pwylie,

This is the only one on eBay UK at the moment, but I'm fairly sure it is not yours Electric Raven *** The Ultimate Electric Bicycle *** on eBay (end time 29-Aug-10 21:24:39 BST) . Sorry for your loss.

I am from Glasgow.

I have already alerted the police and local & national suppliers of the hubs. Am keeping an eye on craiglist, gumtree etc but am not hopeful. I really loved that bike.

I am in the tribe that wishes for a slightly faster assisted speed than 15.5mph so am not sure I will replace it even if I manage a reasonable claim. Flecc was bang on with his speed predictions for my 13.25m commute into Glasgow two years ago when I was planning to buy the bike.

A contractor working on the building failed to secure an exit they were using that allowed the thief into the building. I have the CCTV footage for the police & am tempted to post it on youtube, although there are data protection issues about making it public.

I don't really post but do pop in often for a read through the threads and thank those regular posters for their regular contribution.

Sorry to hear about your bike will keep an eye out for it as an electric bike will stand out.

13 mile commute into glasgow, how long does it take you? I commute from cumbernauld and its exactly 13.5 miles and i can do it in 1hr 10 mins but hoping to get faster.

PS forgot to add thats non-electric bike with some large hill at the start of the journey and a knee injury.

With the heinzmann hub it was 60 mins either way. But not so many hills between Kilbarchan and Glasgow City Centre compared to East Kilbride.

I can cycle unpowered in 65 mins and back in 75 mins but would need a shower either end adding to time.
