What is your location and as I would like to view the bike? Ian

That's great Mr E, hope you get some time and a nice day tomorrow to try it out. Please let us know how it goes. John

Hi again, still wondering if anyone has tried or bought the Torq Trekking yet? They have been out for a couple of months now, but maybe no one is buying them. I am beginning to think importing a Wisper Works 905se from Germany is better value for money despite the relatively minor negative feedback they have received on the forum. John

Come on, somebody on the forum must have at the very least tried one ?

I would be very interested to hear if anyone has bought or tried the new Torq Trekking. How does it compare to the old one and does it come with the new improved Li Ion battery. Also what improvements have been made to the battery. John

For anybody that is interested, it is item number 290187425897

Just sent you a PM. John

Word of caution when ordering, I'm 6'0" and was going to order a large frame 57cm model, Tim of 50cycles is 6'1" and told me the 57cm was too big for him and recommeded the 53cm medium frame would be better so that is what I ordered. John

Just Ordered Just phoned Tim at 50cycles and placed an order for an Agutta. Tim said they should have it in next week. I'm going to collect rather than have it delivered.

Will post progress reports for anybody who is thinking of buying

Das unterschied zwischen Kalkhoff und Raleigh modellen ist nur kosmetische! Johannes (aka John)

Here is some info on the Raleigh clones of the Kalkhoff Agutta available on the German market, or is it vice versa? RALEIGH Leicester E 7G Model aprox. £1289 (same as 7 speed Kalkhoff Agutta) RALEIGH Leicester E de luxe 8G Pedelec Model approx £1432 (Deluxe 8 speed version of Kalkhoff Agutta) RALEIGH Dover E 8G Pedelec Model approx £1575 (Gents 8 speed version of Kalkhoff Agutta)Link to Raleigh Deutschland website Raleigh Bikes - Best of britain bikes - Link to German Raleigh Pedelec Dealer RADWELT SCHERER - Elektroräder http://www.raleigh.de/bikes/images/bikes/big/ra_leicester_e_dati_ret08.jpg http://www.raleigh.de/bikes/images/bikes/big/ra_leicester_e_deluxe_ret08.jpg http://www.raleigh.de/bikes/images/bikes/big/ra_dover_e_he_ret08.jpg

Oh dear Flecc, isn't that a shame with only 9 days until the price increase. I was hanging on your every word before deciding to place an order or not:rolleyes: It's a shame that 50cycles seem to gaining a monoply in the supply of 'good' electric bikes in the UK apart from possibly Wisper. Have thought about importing from Germany myself, there seem to be plenty of people selling the new Raleigh models over there. Warranty would be a problem though and anyway they would probably end up in a detention centre for illegal bicycles:eek:

Hi Flecc, look forward to hearing your comments following your test.

Has anybody noticed that the Raleigh German pedelec range is identical to the Kalkhoff models and the 2008 gent's model is available now. Hope they do come to the UK one way or another.

Yes Flecc, I have read all that already, but has anyone out there actually ridden one?????????
