Thanks for the reply but my problem is that I am getting it through the Ride2work scheme, so can't just send it back if I don't like it :-( Having to courier it back if there was a problem could still be an issue, although the fact that it is hugely cheaper than ones I can get in shops here...

Although I have a bike I don't think I could look after it myself. I've had it for several years and to be honest it comes out for short rides only a few times a year. I've never even had a puncture. So online buying sounds like a bad idea for me. Thanks for the clarity of your response. So...

I agree, but options are limited in Belfast - Freego, Volt or Cube are the only three I can find (so far) Do I decide what my opinions are from the ones I can try and then ask how people feel they compare to what might be available online i.e. if you don't like A then B won't suit you Or take...

I'd be grateful for opinions on the Volt bike. I've managed to find a couple of physical shops to visit and try bikes from. I liked riding the Eagle but I'm not keen on the look of it. I actually preferred the look of the Raptor. Another shop had the Volt Impulse (actually the Impulse X but...

Hi I've posted asking a few questions and am enjoying reading around on the forum. I noticed that lots of us newcomers post here looking for advice and the answers normally ask for more information: Where are you What weight/height are you? Where will you cycle? How fit are you etc I was...

Thanks for the replies. I think I got he reply I expected (though I was hoping against hope for a different one) I'm wary of the warranty implications of buying online, never mind buying second hand. Looks like a new bike it'll be then...

Hi I've posted a few questions already, so thanks to everyone who has replied to those. I have noticed a few bargains (now sold of course) in the classified section but I'm assuming that how much of a bargain they are depends on the battery. So if I saw something I thought was worth a punt is...

In keeping with the rest of the thread I'd just ask you to confirm that you, or any members of your close family, do not, and have not in the past, work for HP. You seem to have strong opinions about condiments...

He'll sue you for saying that ;-p

I'm vegetarian. Are you oppressing me and saying I have to eat bacon?

My guess is that he is implying he is going to sue for libel. Although someone saying that they think you are a representative of a company isn't really that defamatory, is it? All seems very silly to me

Keep me up to date with with what you decide. I know that a kit doesn't appeal to me - you must be braver than I am. I really liked the write up about this bike http://www.smartmotionbikes.co.uk/e-urban.html Anyone any experience or opinions (Once again no local dealer for me, which is a pity)

Hi all I've been looking at more bikes and I'm just becoming more confused! Or maybe more indecisive is a better way of putting it. A physical shop seems like a good idea. Easy maintenance is another. But electric bikes all seem like such fun! With the limited dealer options over here I...

Not sure what you mean. On a bike costing £1500 the display would only cost a piddling amount to replace? Or £1500 isn't a reasonable amount of money? It is to me...

Hi I'm trying to work out what features I need/want in a bike. Is a removable display high on that list? By that I suppose I mean have people had them nicked or broken? If so are they expensive to replace? I intend using the bike for commuting and it will be safe in work but if I take it...

Oh, definitely not looking at a folding bike. There's just something about hem that doesn't appeal. I've visited one shop (Full Cycle) and they do Freego. The Raptor wasn't as comfortable as the Hawk or Eagle, although it looked like a nice bike. I liked the shop though :-) McConvey Cycles...

Thanks for the tip Bob. Low maintenance is important due to my lack of knowledge and experience :-) I was advised that disc brakes are well worth it on e-bikes and will need to be replaced less often than old style ones. I think I'm slowly building up an idea of what I want and what questions...

Hi all Not much of a cyclist but we hired e-bikes while on holiday and it crossed my mind that that might be a great way to get to work, so I've started the search for the perfect bike. Or at least a good one :-) Work is 6.5 miles away and is all flat - down the towpath beside the river for a...
