speedometer/milometer
LOL yeah,more and more dealers on Ebay are selling goods for less than a pound and getting their money back for the true value of the product by charging large p+p fees, probobly to reduce their fees to ebay. I have seen goods from Hong Kong sell for 99pence with £35 p+p

Bicycle lights
Hi, i dont know if this is of any use to anyone as they are not state of the art. But there are some reasonably priced bicycle lights here http://www.ledshoppe.com/ledproductothers.htm All p+p is free shipped from Hong Kong. I have ordered from Led Shoppe a few times now and the quality is not too bad for their prices, although some prices are not as good as they were a few months ago.

Wisper 905e or Powacycle Salisbury
Thanks for the links flecc . Thanks for reporting your views on the 905e Scott. The wisper does seem to be getting a lot of good reviews for a relative newcomer.

Wisper 905e or Powacycle Salisbury
Thanks once again for everyones input. It looks like i will have to dismiss the Salisbury then. I never considered the Ezee liv, but it does seem excellent value for money with some very good reviews. So it is a choice between the Liv And the Wisper 905e. The Wisper wins for looks and style and would appear to suit my needs from what details i have been able to find on it. But the Liv wins on price and does seem to be an excellent build quality and also would appear to suit my needs perfectly. I will have to try and arrange a test ride then if possible, although i dont know how easy this will be as i live i South Cumbria in the back of beyond.

Wisper 905e or Powacycle Salisbury
Thanks for the input Flecc Your comments are pretty much what i was assuming was what i thought the perfomance would have been from the bikes. I was kinda hoping that Powacycle and Wisper may have jumped in with an honest opinion as to why i should consider their bikes?? I would now also like any advise on the Synergie Mistral that also seems to have some worthwhile reviews. Money is really tight for me and my family so i really want to get this right first time and not make the same mistake we did with the Powabyke. Thanks once again for any help or advise

Wisper 905e or Powacycle Salisbury
Hi, i have spent a lot of time looking at electric bikes. I was going to purchase some time back but unfortunately finances did not allow. After a lot of deliberation i have come to the conclusion that these may be suited to my needs as i just cannot justify the price of the Ezee bikes. My wife has a powabyke, but it is far too heavy and noisy with the motor running. We trialed a Powacycle milan today and were suprised just how quite and smooth it was. Both the whisper and Salisbury both look like bikes as well which is also a plus. The only other thing i really need to know is what their pulling power is like up hills. I will be travelling to work twice a day, 4 miles each way. There are two short but sharp rises in either direction, and there is about a mile slope on my way to work, although this is not very steep. Is there any gradient reference as to what these bikes are capable of actually being able to cope with without the rider having work too hard as i dont want to be dripping with sweat when i get to work. One plus for the Powacycle is that there is a dealer very near so any problems can be handled locally. Although from reading the forum, Wispers CS does seem to be excellent. Another plus for the Powacycle is the price as i would really be paying more than i could really afford for the Wisper. Thanks for any input.
