John i have tried both bikes you are considering and for me i prefer the disk brakes, suspension and the rear wheel drive bike - much better handling and much better in gravel IMHO

Agreed Mr Wisper, though for me it is the Juicy Sport that I have fallen in love with. It is incredibly robust and, in my view, elegant. Thank goodness not all bikes are the same!

THat's a kind offer Bob. The Juicy bikes have been fantastic, as has your help in the past. Merlin looks very interesting and I am keen to try it. Next time you visit London do pop in. Next week or so perhaps? Mr Kudos - sorry, simply don't like your bikes, please do not take offence! Juicy have been great and I think it is better to stick to proven bikes and service than take a risk on your newer kudos range. I have taken a test ride and looked them over very carefully. They do not suit our rather demanding requirements. Cycle Ezee, thanks for the PM and volume discount offer, but I do know what I am looking for and have a good understanding of electric bikes and using them for a very busy courier business. I am going to stick with juicys. My question is still what are the benefits of spending money on hydraulic forks or brakes? I guess Bobs offer of an onsite demonstration will answer that. Cheers Bob, cheers all.

I am very happy yes. Kind of you to point your bikes to me. They dont match the Juicy spec unfortunately (smaller battery and fewer gears) and like I say my question is whether the upgrade options offered by juicy see here are worth considering? That way lies my dillema... Thanks anyway John.

Our company bought three Juicy Sports over 18 months ago. We paid £750 for each and they have been perfect for us (central London based courier company). I am now looking for 3 more bikes and quite frankly would purchase the same again except that I see Juicy Bikes have released a new bike with better forks and brakes. They offer upgrades for hydraulic forks and brakes so we can now choose to tailor the bike exactly to our needs. I can not see another bike out there with this option? So now I have to decide whether £199 is best spent on forks or brakes or both? Standard Juicy brakes seem fine though regular adjustment is needed but really is very simple to do. I do like the prospect of hydraulic suspension again at £199. Both upgrades seem very reasonable, but realistically the standardsport bikecontinues to serve us very well indeed. Choices choices!

Juicy bikes are hired out from Eco Republic in Buxton Derbyshire. Helped us decide on the Juicy Sport model We were able to test the bikes thoroughly up some pretty demanding hills and amongst some great countryside.

Hi Bob The bikes are doing great work with lots of comments from our delivery clients and riders are really appreciating them. Do you have any more 14 amp hour models left? Regards Tony

Bob. Do you still have many of the 2010 Sports available? I think the 10Ah will be fine for us, but if we could also have some 14Ah batteries as spares then we mayhave a good solution Tony

Really helpful review Halfer. Thanks. Tony

Hi Bob Could I arrange to see both 2010 and 2011 Sport models side by side, and take both for a test ride sometime this week? I'll be coming up from London and can not specify an exact time, so some flexibility would be appreciated! Tony

Hi I'm looking to purchase a number of bikes for a small cycle courier business. Do you do deals? ! What are the main differences between your bikes and the more expensive varieties? Tony
