Hi , I'm Pete , live in a little Leicestershire village and have always loved cycling , however now 67, and encounter some big hills between the villages on the way back from the pub, always ok on the way there!.
However, my lovely Mrs bought me a Sailsbury Powacycle for my birthday and I'm totally hooked on Ebikes! .
The sheer fun of overtaking the more serious cyclist , in his multicoloured attire, me in jeans , and hoodie!, I always think their rushing to join the rehearsal for "Joseph" and as I pass them , I'm sure I've heard them whistling , "any dream will do ",
Anyway , enough of this banter, and on to more serious matters, where I humbly request your input.
I've always enjoyed a burst of speed, and enjoy cutting through fields to meet my friends , alas the Powercycle is no mountain bike !,
but I also have a Claud Butler , 1999 Cape Wrath, with 27 speed gears controlled with Shimano 5.T.I. Shifters, Suntour MG 90 Mag forks, Formula Disc front and rear, Zoom Bars and stems, Vuelta Airline USA rims, quick release wheels etc.
So ,as I have been out of the cycling loop, please advise , A) Conversion kit to my 1999 bike, which kit ?!, maybe de-restricted for trips via the fields!,
or B) buy Woosh sports cd, or cyclotricity steath or the Burisch GT250 with fast controller!
What to do ?! , do these modern Ebikes equal the spec. of my 1999 Claud Butler or not ?, if not kit surly the best option , if not what ebike to buy ?! , your help appreciated , and I thank you in advance . Kindest Regards
