September 6, 200817 yr Here's the opinion of the Tyne & Wear Jury Kalkhoff gets my vote as a good looking bike, you can ride it as a normal bike without too much extra effort, and it goes up the hills easily. The Gazelle gets my negative vote as an expensive ugly looking bike (sorry owners) Powabyke-11 Giant-9 Ezee-11 Kalkhoff-9 Powacycle-9 Wisper-15 Urban mover-8 Gazelle-9 Sparta-9
September 7, 200817 yr By Citrus: This forum is unbelieveable sometimes. My wife can't understand why I spend any time here - calling it "pedeldicks". Now that was very funny By Peckerman: Ok so here's a little game to play, if you're not all too busy arguing about helmets, lights,what to wear, bike names, zip ties and what car each other drives.... At the end, theoretically you will be left with the most popular? It is an opinion so you can't be wrong, it could be function, price, performance or simply how pretty it looks. It is only a bit of fun afterall and shouldn't be taken so seriously. I bet Peckerman wished he hadn't started it or is finding it amusing, unbelievable,----- lol By Flecc: I think this is drifting from "Best electric bike" into "Best electric bike to buy" with other factors being included in the voting. Same difference really isn't it? It states most popular By Citrus: Initially it looked like a good fun thread, then the 50cycles bashers set it and trashed the Kalkhoff rating. A bit of an exaggeration though eh By Phil the Drill: C'mon guys, isn't this thread starting to take itself just a little too seriously....... I totally agree but the Wisper is still winning! Sorry couldn't resist LOL
September 8, 200817 yr Evening, colleagues! Anyone recall the Rolls-Royce story that may be myth or truth? Apparently they were gearing up to call a new model the Silver Mist, and were well on the way until one of the young apprentices pointed out that Mist is the German word for dung! I reckon that Flecc should start producing electrobikes - they'd sell like hot cakes! The Fleccmobil range would consist of the Pizza (a neat model for pottering around town, the Montagna for touring and hill-climbing, and the 750-watt Veloce for rip-roarin' off-road fun! How about it, Flecc :- ) Johnny
September 8, 200817 yr If thirty years younger maybe Johnny, but now I enjoy my retirement too much to get involved in making e-bikes. Doing the whole job means using China, and others get enough grey hairs from doing that already, so I'll leave the suffering to them. My stress is confined to choosing which way to enjoy myself each day. .
