    Help! Electric connector inside wren electrics.

    Hi, I had an accident on my bike yesterday and some of the wiring has come loose inside the electric box that is in front of the handlebars on my Freego Wren - photo of the inside attached. The wiring goes into little plastic connectors that fit together. Inside those plastic connectors are...

    Freego manual

    Many thanks for that Nealh. I thought it would be all complicated wiring.

    Freego manual

    Thanks for your reponse Nealh. When I push the button in for the throttle it doesn't always work and sometimes I have to switch it on and off a few times. As the company has gone out of business I had hoped a manual on how it all works might be available somewhere online, especially as the bike...

    Hi, Does anyone know of a full manual (not the little one that comes with the bike) that gives full details of all the working parts on a Freego Wren and how to fix them? Thanks Kerry

    Battery replacement for a Freego

    Thanks for your response. I would be interested to hear from Eaglerider what size battery he previously had and what size he went up to. If you are around Eaglerider?

    Battery replacement for a Freego

    Hello My husband has had a Freego Regency 16Ah bike for just over 2 years and the battery has had it. They want nearly £400 for a new one. Can anyone suggest alternatives that would be cheaper. Also, has Freego been taken over/sold to another company? My husband rang them and asked to...

    Thinking of getting bike

    Another update: I have now been using my Freego Wren for nearly 3 months - in use 6 days a week doing between 3 and 6 miles a day, up and down very steep hills. After six weeks my Freego Wren had its free service. By then everything had bedded in and some cables needed tightening up. I also...

    Gloves and Shoe Covers

    Thanks for your input. I already have waterproof trousers and top as I walk a lot in all weathers. Handy to know that replacements can be had for a tenner on ebay. I had wondered about a cycle cape and whether they did them. I will take a look at those. You mention that they aren't so useful...

    Gloves and Shoe Covers

    Oh my God! That one would never work for me. I am one of those people that goes to bed all summer with a hot water bottle because my feet are so cold!

    Gloves and Shoe Covers

    Thanks everyone for your input. I resorted to the wellie option this morning as it was chucking down. I shall try to get to an Aldie store to see if they have any left. Someone today told me that sports direct have a good selection of waterproof gloves in for around £6 so I will take a look...

    Gloves and Shoe Covers

    Now that I am using the bike daily regardless of weather I realise there are certain things needed besides the bike: waterproof gloves and some sort of protection for my shoes. I have been looking at gloves but can't believe how expensive they are. Can anyone recommend any reasonably priced...

    Thinking of getting bike

    I have now been using my Freego Wren for a fortnight and I can honestly say it is one of the best things that I have ever bought. It makes my commute to work so easy - I would never manage it on an ordinary bike as it is up steep hills. I bought a basket and panniers with it and found them to...

    Thinking of getting bike

    Thank you for the further responses - for some reason I didn't get a message about them. I have been today and tested two bikes, one the Freego folding bike and another one: the Coyote Connect folding bike. The Freego was excellent and a great ride - it went up a hill so easily in the...

    Thinking of getting bike

    I have spoken to a Freego dealer this morning. I am hoping to have a test drive next week as someone I know is going in that direction and is happy to give me a lift. Thanks everyone for your input. I shall let you know how I get on.

    Thank you for explaining the above point. That is something that I would not have known. :-) Self build is most definitely out! :-)

    Thinking of getting bike

    Because I have seen my husband squander thousands upon thousands over the years because he bought an item just on one persons recommendation. If he had taken the time to do some research he would have seen the other 2 million or so people that had a very different view of the company/item -...
