I'm really sorry, i don't really understand any of that last sentence:o And yes i am already in bottom gear, and finally made it up the hill for the first time today:cool:

Basically what happens is when on the flat i get to 15mph and then, where i would change up a gear, i'm already in the top gear, so have to stop pedalling until I've slowed down enough.

Hi, thanks very much, that looks a bit easier. Looking at the picture, which is the added chainring? the one nearest the reader? I'm assuming that i would also need a longer chain? Lastly, how would this affect the hill climbing - I have a very steep hill on my way to work!

Hi, I have a Powacycle Salisbury. I'm not very technical, but can follow instructions or videos. I've written to them so will see what they say. I guess a short-cut to make it a better workout would be to switch it off completely when i reach 15mph and just pedal, but unfortunately the keyswitch is difficult to operate whilst cycling.

I understand that legally you can't go more than 15mph using power, but on all but the steeper hills my legs are going faster than the pedals can allow. Is there anyway to change this, ie by fitting a larger cog? Not trying to "beat the system" but i seem to be wasting a lot of energy.

Hi, they look great, but i don't have the confidence to try and sort out the wiring and twist grip ec, i was looking for something with a clamp that would do the job,

Hi, I'm still trying to get this sorted, i contacted the people above, but they don't import them, so they can't help. I ordered a part from Amazon : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003Z458KU/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 But it doesn't fit, the stem is to big to fit my bike. I seems to have a really weedy stem, so most of the aftermarket parts won't fit. I'm finding it quite uncomfortable riding it whilst leaning forward, and am desperate to find an adjustable alternative.

Hi, i like both of these options, but can't seem to find a retailer in this country for the Octagon one.

Hi All, Will introduce myself on another thread, but for the time being I'm looking for a bit of help in setting my bike up, it's a Powabkye Salisbury. I've sort of decided it's the wrong bike for me, but for now i'm going to stick with it. I really want to prove to myself that i'm going to stick with this before i by a different bike. (again another thread). So, to the point at hand: Basically i have a bad back and i am struggling with the handlebar distance and height on my bike. My wrists are also aching from taking all my considerable weight. I have my saddle set very high to ensure maximum effort into the pedaling action, but i cannot get the handlebars high enough, the stem appears far too short. Looking on Amazon and eBay, there appears to be so many different sizes and types that I'm just baffled by what to buy. Can you guys help me work out what i need to get. I'm looking at trying to sit more upright so i guess i need a longer handlebar stem and an adjustable angle handlebar clamp to bring the bars a bit nearer.
