Hi guys not been on for a while, almost over a year ago. Well decided to buy a normal bike to get my weight down, lost a stone not much
I ended up with a really nice bike a Trek soho with belt drive, until some asshole ran into me and busted my knee But it will heal, doc says probably 6 months before i can do my commute again 30 miles round trip. Now if i wait 6 months i will balloon again so waiting is not an option.
Electric bike it is this time 100% and this week asap.
I am 6ft 4" with inside leg of 35-36 inches so need a larger bike.
So choices are
Kalkhoff Agattu XXL
Wisper 906 28" wheels
Cytronex Cannondale Quick 8
My current thoughts are, Kalkhoff was my number one choice until i read the thread on the clunk on the crank, now on a £1600 bike this is not acceptable. I will be watching that thread closely.
The Wisper 906 is now nudging in front but i have a few questions.
Is the frame big enough for me? Looking at other posts it would seem ok but would like confirmation.
Now the control is a little confusing but basically i need to know if you can power the bike without pedaling. Now this would be of great benefit as when the knee goes it goes and i need to rest it.
I also like how interested wisper are to listen to problems and more importantly sort them out.
Now the Cytronex will be my keeper when my knee has healed, but not for me at present.
Thanks for any help
