April 5, 201412 yr Hi Tref, You can download the eZee kit installation guide from this page of our website http://cyclezee.com/ezee-downloads.html and there is general guide to conversion kits on the forum here http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/electric-bike-guides/conversion-kits/ Hope you find it helpful. Today I have just converted an old steel frame Raleigh tourer for a customer and I must say the bike rides beautifully.
April 5, 201412 yr Hello Tref, I have a Neo Cross and it's brilliant. If you want to pop down to Wrexham you can have a look. Taff
April 5, 201412 yr Have you been to West End Cycles, Llandudno? Their website says they have some electric bikes but hardly any Bosch ones.
April 6, 201412 yr Author Hello Tref, I have a Neo Cross and it's brilliant. If you want to pop down to Wrexham you can have a look. Taff Hi Taff, Thanks for the offer. The Neo Cross was actually my initial choice. Mainly because it looks right (sexy if you like). I have an aversion to bikes that are to chunky and especially ones with racks on the back. What makes the Neo Cross a "brilliant" bike in your opinion. Tref.

Their website says they have some electric bikes but hardly any Bosch ones. Hi Wissy, As you know, West End Cycles is probably the nearest dealer to me. I did look on their web site last week and I phoned them. They do have several e bikes in stock including a Neo Race, which is the only bike that might interest me. I was going to go there last week but was laid up with man flu so haven't been out of the house. Will go for a look this week sometime. Tref.

April 6, 201412 yr Bear in mind WEC haven't got the best after sales service co pared to the effort they put into actual sales..... I bought my bike from Electifying Cycles and despite them being miles away they have been brilliant at helping me out with issues not of their making and postage they sort out very very good.

I probably wouldn't have bought a bike from them. I was just going to have a look being as they are the nearest.
April 28, 201412 yr Author Well I've taken the bull by the what'sits and my Focus Thron Impulse will be delivered in the morning. Not sure if I've done the right thing but there's only one way to find out.

May 5, 201412 yr Author Hope it works out perfect for you Tref. Thanks Taff. Went for my first ride on Friday morning. From St.Asaph to Dolwen which is just past Betws yn Rhos, a round trip of 25 miles. Probably the hilliest route I could have taken. I tried to stay in Eco mode as much as possible but had to use Sport and Power mode quite a few times to climb the steepest parts. I was quite surprised to find that I had only used 20% of the battery power. Really pleased.
May 5, 201412 yr Battery capacity = 612wh. 20% = 122wh, divided by 25 miles = 5wh/mile. Either you were pedalling hard and going very slow or you need to recalibrate your battery gauge. That's if you have the 17aH battery!

That's if you have the 17aH battery! Yes I do have the 17aH battery. I might have made a error, because the battery level indicator has five lights I assumed each light was 20%, and after my ride there was four lights showing hence the 20% used. On reading the manual just now it says four lights=80%-60% so it is quite possible that I have used twice the amount that I originally thought.
May 5, 201412 yr You can't rely on what it says in the manual. You might find that they don't go down linearly. When you've emptied the battery a few times, you'll get an idea of the relationship between the lights and the actual state of charge of the battery. You can't beat a wattmeter, which gives a pretty accurate measure of how much battery you've used and how much you have left.

Perhaps I got a big carried away with the excitement of riding my new bike for the first time. After several more rides I should understand the lights/state of charge relationship a bit better.
