What's flecc up to now?...

Featured Replies

my circulation is still returning after much of the day riding in intensive product testing. Some may commute every weekday, but I'm going out seven days a week for six months currently doing this.

 

No, I'm not going to say what with, top secret. :cool:

 

Wait six months. :eek:

.

 

Intriguing yet again flecc! After a total of... nil success guessing your previous exploits, and assuming you weren't being tongue in cheek when you said 'top secret', I figure it might be wiser not to try & guess... (assuming its even possible or likely anyone could!) but although there would appear to be plenty of time, I have an inkling what you might be up to & that it might not necessarily take 6 months ;) though if it is what I think, the longer it goes on the better the news... ?!

 

So, is it really top secret or are you open to guesses agan this time? And if we do guess right, would you let us know before the 6 months/test period is up?... I'm guessing that you might have already dropped some clues in the forum...:D

Really top secret Stuart, and I may well not be able to say anything at six months either. Only the manufacturer can say when.

 

And there are no clues of course, and no response to guesses.

It really is Rocket science!

 

I reckon he's discovered an ebike propulsion system that can get him to the moon and back in time to replenish his organic Wensleydale supply (Don't forget the Crackers ,Gromit)..

Actually, thinking about it is isn't rocket science what he's doing.. He's surprised us all and forsken retirement to return to his old job.... presenting News at Ten!!:D

self generating/chargeing battery

 

or maybe a self generating/chargeing battery system that charges as you ride, that never needs plugging into the mains to charge unless been stood unused for a long period of time...this would save the carrying of spare bulky batteries and of course the extra £280 to fork out....:rolleyes:

Ok, thanks flecc - wasn't sure if your words were tongue-in-cheek, but now I know they weren't so you've saved me having to fail at guessing again this time! :D

 

(Though it looks like the others are making up for me! ;))

 

Good luck with the tests & all the cycling & hope it all goes well :)

:D hahaha! Not the first time its been tried here, either! ;)

 

I suppose the diplomatic answer to the question then would be "at least 15 miles and over 600ft of ascent a day" :D - though you could use this thread to keep a log of your total distance & ascent if you wanted to, flecc?

 

Though I suspect a true diplomat would think twice (or probably less) before saying nothing! (unlike me) ;).

I bet he's got hold of a fuel cell. Think I'll go down his way on my new Agattu and waylay him. We know his test routes don't we. Or what about a video cam set up to record his face? But we don't know his face do we? Mmm - must give this some thought.

maybe its ezee showing intrest in the Q bike:D it would be good for the quando to have some gears oh well 6 months is not to long to wait:( NIGEL

I phoned 50Cycles today and they told me that the diamond frame Agattus have supposedly been sent from Germany and that they are en route. Apparently, they will be sending them out to us next week. I hope.........

No chance of that, it's carefully disguised.

 

The bike, not the face. :D

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. The frame must be stiffer however good the step through is.

  • 4 weeks later...

Could it be Flecc is testing the new NiMH replacement battery for the Ezee range?

 

John

No I'm not. :)

 

I don't even think they exist yet, 50cycles still working towards that I think.

 

I don't even know if they are proposing a replacement cellpack or complete battery, but the latter could be very costly to produce just for the UK and possibly introduce difficulties with registered designs, patents or intellectual rights.

.

Ahaa, so that has eliminated that theory then;)

It's a completely new bike then?

 

John

Chortle - well done, John. We'll fish him out yet!!

 

It's a completely new bike then?

 

John

 

No, because I've been riding it for a while! :D

.

Ahaa, so it is an electric bike then;) Capable of a considerable daily mileage?

Depends how many times it's charged. :D

 

And I haven't said it was new bike, only that I'd been riding it for a while. That could be any one of my bikes, or another one. :)

.

Well, he's admitted its a bike, so some of the juicier theories are out of the window. But has it been confirmed as electric?

 

Nick

I replied that the length of daily distance depended on how many times it was charged, though I didn't say what with. :D

.

My assumption is electricity?

 

John

depended on how many times it was charged, though I didn't say what with. :D

So it could be a fugitive from justice, an array of Russian cannons, or a very flexible credit card.

 

But I do have a vision of an electric machine, and flecc in his tower during a lightning storm, silver hair and wild staring eyes, crying "at the height of the storm, Igor, throw the switch".

 

3 hour charge time be damned.
