Just as a follow up [mention=20072]jokskot[/mention] suggested that I reach out to head office in Germany. I messaged them via Facebook and had a response almost instantly. I was then passed to Monica from U.K. support (still in Germany). She answered all my questions thoroughly and explained that although they’ve closed the physical store in the U.K. they still ship bikes and a full range of spares within 3 days. They also have plans for further U.K. stores this year. Having had a NCM Prague for 12 months I’ve now passed that to my wife and ordered the NCM Moscow. I had a good look round at various other brands but pound for pound struggled to find something that offered better value, especially as due to Covid many models are out of stock. The Woosh Rio would have probably been my next choice but it too is out of stock sadly I get that Suntour forks won’t allow me to jump canyons and that I can get lighter frames etc but for what I use it for age 53 (leisure riding trails, woodland etc) it has a good range, puncture resistant tyres and recognisable component brands all at a price that doesn’t break the bank. I drool over some of the bikes that you guys have on this forum but I can’t justify spending multiple thousands given my intended use. Thanks for all the input guys, these forums are a great source of knowledge.

Yeah hat off to him, he seems to have captured a large market in Australia and Canada too.

Good suggestion, I’ll reach out to Germany

Appreciate the suggestions. Given that NCM offer a good spec MTB for the money, is there a particular model that you can recommend out of the manufacturers that you’ve suggested? I’ve looked at Haibike as powerbikes have discounted one model down to around £1900. I’m tempted but ideally I’d like to stick to around £1200

That’s good to know. I love my Prague and I’m willing to buy a Moscow but it’s frustrating not being able to contact them.

They’re a German brand I believe

Hey all, looking for some info. I bought an NCM Prague last Spring from Leon Cycles. It’s a great bike and I’ve done many miles on it hassle free. My wife has now decided that she would like one so I was going to give her mine and upgrade to the Moscow. I noticed that the company seems to have moved from Wigan to Altrincham and their website went offline for a short time but is now back online. The problem is, I can’t get hold of them. I’ve emailed, rang, messaged via FB etc but not had a response. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them recently or ordered. I love the bike but unless I can get hold of them I’ll perhaps start looking at alternatives to the Moscow.

Thanks, had this not have come back in stock then I think the Rio would have been my choice. Hopefully this will suit my needs

The invoice says the 11th which is great. They have a distribution facility in Bolton apparently. Once I’ve had it a few weeks I’ll probably add a short review on here.

It’s the 250w model that I’ve bought. The 350 isn’t for sale in the U.K.

Hey all. So I was notified that my original choice was back in stock today and so I’ve ordered. I’ve gone for an NCM Prague. Thanks for all your input.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ve been skulking around this forum for a while reading recommendations and I’m impressed that the owner of Woosh pops in to help and give advice. That’s definitely a strong point. I wish I could make my mind up. I used to be indecisive but now I’m not so sure:rolleyes:

So I originally planned to convert my existing bike but over the last few weeks have come to release the limitations in doing so. Having spent weeks researching bikes my budget has increased week on week. I originally decided on a NCM Prague but they’re now showing as sold out on the website, as is the Moscow. I’m 52 in July, not the fittest guy but not too bad. I mainly want to use the bike for leisure, canal paths, forest trails and some road use. Nothing adventurous really. i like the idea of a throttle (I’m type one diabetic and although well controlled I can sometimes deplete energy and blood sugars quite quickly after a couple of hours) I know throttles aren’t legal At the moment. my main criteria is range and puncture resistance. my budget was £800 but is now around £1100ish. I’ve got my choice down to two bikes and looking for opinions on which is best or even more suggestions thrown into the ring. It’s between the Woosh Rio MTB and the Ezego Trail Destroyer. The Woosh has the better battery but the Ezego has a lovely concealed battery and some really nice kit on it for the money. Help!
