Well...thats me off to weightlifting nightclasses then...well, the seat is easily removed with quick release....the rear rack is probably a couple of kilos and could be removed fairly easily...... the front wheel with motor would come off fairly easily.......ok will stop there !!!!!!
battery is about 5kg i think.....
or if all else fails weight lifting nightclass ???
regards
). I'm only 5'4" , the Alpino didn't feel too big atall (sorry, don't know wheel size), in fact I had to put the seat up, so no worries on that score. Strangely, my 1st comment to John at Lawntech was that the Alpino felt lighter than the 705se, maybe because I have panniers on mine but it certainly didn't feel too heavy.I only had it out for about 15 minutes so wasn't really able to put it through its paces but it was a nice smooth ride and the gear change was much better than the 705 and it did seem to be easier to peddle without power.Having said that I still think the 705 is a great bike, although the Alpino is definitely the much prettier younger sister!Bless M&S, I can picture you perfectly!getting personal now.......
29.5 inch inside leg............ m and s call that mens 'short' leg just to make sure we know we are vertically challenged...
I really love the retro look of the 706 alpino and the one thing which has always kept me from cycling preferring to run instead, is the leaning over the handlebars, I just don't like that feeling. I've just informed my husband I'm going to order the 706 alpino and he's just rolled his eyesI have a Wisper 705 se just now but tried out a 706 Alpino last weekend at Lawntech in Dundee (thanks for pointing me in their direction dmcgoldrick
- how rude!
Oooh how exciting...so when will you have it ?I really love the retro look of the 706 alpino and the one thing which has always kept me from cycling preferring to run instead, is the leaning over the handlebars, I just don't like that feeling.

Don't forget to tell us all about it.
Men eh ( at least he only rolled his eyes
Hi.....re insurance I just had to itemise anything UNDER £1000 which my bike was, but, depending on insurer of course, you would probably have to pay more for a more expensive bike.....it might then be worthwhile looking at specific e-bike insurance ?
I've tried the 905 eco and a similar step through Giant, based on that experience and the lack of shops in my area to locate a 706 alpino, I'm prepared to take the risk.You are going to buy without trying?....BAD idea
how come there's such a long lead time? I got my 905 from e-bikes direct the next day (although it was in the crate rather than fully assembled like they apparently offer now), although looking on there just now I notice the "free next day delivery" is absent from the 706 entry though this might just be a coincidence.
Its called working full-time, away from home, I won't get chance to get to the shop for that period of time.
I know, I will have to keep myself very occupied!oh......and a PS......do not know HOW you could wait as long as 7-10 days
7 to 10 days not so bad, I ordered a car in January and it's not due until late April. Even that is in the air now since it's made in Japan, though that particular make is the one whose factories and offices are not directly affected, being 400 miles away from the badly affected region. There could be power supply problems though.
fair enough.. I'm lucky that I can work flexible hours and often from home so can wait for deliveries or have stuff delivered to work.Its called working full-time, away from home, I won't get chance to get to the shop for that period of time.
