    Hi Frank, I once before tried to post a picture on this site and it gave me so much trouble I vowed never to try it again. Is it possible to send them to your address off line? Thank you. les686.

    electric wheel

    Dangerous twist throttle

    Hello alfazzr, When I bought the tricycle it was not motorised and so it simply has ordinary brakes - no power to be cut. Can you buy power cutting brakes? What would you call them? I am building a luggage box to go on the back so I can go out and buy stuff. When I have finished and I am up...

    Dangerous twist throttle

    Hello Eddieo, I have a tricycle fitted with a Conv-e conversion kit by the supplier. I have had a stroke and it seems like a good way to get around. It is very new and has a few teething problems that I need to cure. You mention the key. If the kit had a key there would be no problem and I...

    Dangerous twist throttle

    Hi flecc Thank you so much for that. You have made it very clear. I have not seen a battery like this one before. It has the controller built into it. Is it ok if I simply unplug the throttle from the battery/controller and then start cutting? Again my thanks, les686.

    "City Runner" bought seven months ago. Unused, unmarked, in perfect order.

    It was bought from Poweredbicycles but never used due to ill health which forces resale. It cost £1,100 and can be had for £750. Contact me off site or post here. Les Brown.

    Giving in to the inevitable

    A short time ago I posted a commentary about the purchase of my "City Runner" from Poweredbicycles. I am 76 and it was soon obvious that it was too powerful for me. It was designed for someone younger and more sporty more sporty than I am. I tried riding it round the houses a couple of times...

    for fishingpaul Sorry Paul I only just picked up on this. I managed to do three trips on the bike before the hard weather came and I passed over the river Cole every time. Small world! I think I am taming the bike - slowly. What do you ride? Les.
