Roobarb

does anyone use a roof mounted bike rack? Any problems, other than the weight of the bike? How do you take the battery out, so I can charge it in the house? Thanks

Hi cosybike! A person after my own heart

Ha no, I slipped and fell getting out the bath.

I tried a Volt Kensington on holiday I enjoyed it and it was what made me decide to buy an electric bike but I felt it was quite expensive for what it was and wouldn't have bought one.

Thank you. Sadly I have fallen and hurt my leg so no cycling for a week!

This happened to me too

Well I ended up with a Raleigh captus. Tried the motus but decided to go for the captus given I had already gone beyond my supposed price range! Got the version with 700 cc wheels and hub rather than derailleur gears. Can't wait to start using it regularly.

Hi David. I am also from Renfrewshire (Erskine) and brand new owner of an ebike.

I am also worried the frame might be too big my current normal bike has a 17 inch frame and 700cc wheels. I am a 5ft 7in woman

Just browsing and I saw this and wondered please if anyone had a view on it? https://www.pluginbikes.co.uk/vintage-cruiser-electric-bike-82.html I love the look of it and similar to the Volt Kensington I tried in cornwall but way cheaper

Thanks both:)

Thank you Tabs The bike I tried on holiday was a Volt Kensington it was great but maybe just a bit out of my price range.

Hello I am a 44 year old woman from just outside Glasgow looking for my first electric bike. I just want it for pootling around locally really and don't have bags of money to spend £1000 or maybe a little more for the right bike. I had considered biting the bullet and going for a more high end one with a view to cycling to work but I don't think I would stick to doing that so going to aim a bit more realistic! I am quite overweight and have a very fit hubby and 2 active boys so going out on the normal bike with them is a slog and how difficult it is puts me off cycling more. I hired an electric bike on holiday and loved it, it was so great to enjoy a wee bike ride and not be huffing and puffing and tired, although still feeling I had got a decent exercise. I have been looking at bikes in the shops and thinking of either the Pendleton somerby or Raleigh array depending on which one I like the feel of best when I ride it. Anyway that was an essay and a half so hi and bye everyone for now!
