Have you seen the Burley Travoy, An expensive trailer but attaches to a hitch on the seatpost. Looks an excellent item.

I went along to the Redbridge event today and it was great to be able to try out a number of different bikes. One that impressed me as a very simple but light sporty bike was the Momentum Electric Upstart which has two speed automatic gears and a front hub motor. Have any other members of the...

Hi aseb, I have a Cane Creek Thudbuster fitted to my 3 e electric sport. It is an excellent seat post which works on a cantilever principle to give a very significant amount of suspension. It is fully adjustable but is of course rather expensive. I purchased it several years ago from the US for...

I hope that members may be interested in a brief review of a new 3E Electric Sport bike which I recently purchased. My first outing into electric bikes was with an Alien Ocean kit purchased about 3 years ago. It was a great kit but I used it with the throttle only and eventually the battery...

I will be taking delivery of a new 3e Sport this week and weather permitting giving it a good run along some local cycle routes on the weekend. I have had two test rides and it's certainly a light bike with a very neat battery. I was amazed at how light the battery was. Good styling and range...

Eaglerider, Many thanks for letting me know your experience of this. I had a concern that there might be a jolt when one reached the various power assistance level thresholds but from what you say, it is a smooth transition which is good to hear. I assume that you move up the gears as well to...

Eaglerider, Many thanks for the update. Martin at Freego is looking into a crossbar version for me to try so excellent service from them already. What happens on the Eagle when you exceed 15 miles per hour (if you do)? I presume that the motor cuts out and is it a smooth feeling or are you...

Martin, Thank you for contacting me regarding the Freego Eagle crossbar style. As suggested I have emailed you on this subject. Kind regards

I have been considering purchasing a Freego Eagle myself just for leisure riding but unfortunately my nearest dealer only had the step through version to try and I really was more interested in the crossbar type. I tried the one that he had and it certainly seemed to have quite a kick when the...

That sounds a great idea. My nearest dealer is Smartebike in Borehamwood Herts and I am keen to have a look at both the Metro and the 24/26 Hybrids. If they do the try before you buy scheme I may well take advantage of it.

Hi, many thanks I will try and get a test ride arranged.

Hi will all dealers be aware of the promotional pricing and if they do not have a particular model are they going to be able to order one in?

Thank you Bigroy and jbond. It will probably be easier for me to get a new battery from Alien if they will shortly be back in stock although purchasing one from BMS in China would be cheaper. I am becoming tempted to maybe invest in a new bike possibly the Aurora or Wisper 905se rather than...

Guys thanks for your help. I am not proposing to do anything to the battery. I will however need to purchase a new one and wonder if there are any better ones that would fit the Alien rack. Alien replacement batteries are currently out of stock

Jbond - Many thanks for the suggestion. The connector is the standard one supplied by Alien with the kit and I have checked this and all wires seem secure so it may well be as you say a loose connection in the battery. I will look into this and many thanks for your help.

I purchased an Alien Ocean 36V 26" kit in October 2009 and attached to a Haro Heartland DLX comfort bike. Everything has worked fine until recently when I have experienced a complete power failure on a regular short ride. This has now happened twice in roughly the same place suggesting perhaps...

I would go for the Alien 36V Road legal kit. I fitted one to a new Haro Heartland DLX 26" wheel bike last year and its great. Plenty of range and not too heavy. I found it fairly easy to fit and good value. You can adjust the potentiometer to get a bit more speed but this will cause a bit more...

Alien 36V Kit I recently purchased an Alien 36V kit and fitted it to a new Haro Comfort bike. I retained my own brake levers and did not bother with the pedelec sensor. The kit was not too difficult to fit but as others have said, it is important to ensure that the sides of the hub motor do...
