    Hi Carl, The bike sounds really good. The choices just keep opening up for us leccy bikers. The price is very attractive and the distance you quote is amazing.. just a couple of questions: How much will replacement batteries be? The seat height of 86cm is that from seat to floor or...

    Best ladies bike ?

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I will save a bit more and maybe go for the Chopper and maybe have a demo, and of the Quando. I was gonna just get the IZIP, but I think you are right in saying that SLA batteries are a bit dated and heavy, with much better ones are now out there. Even...

    Best ladies bike ?

    Hi Everyone, Whilst where on the subject of ladies bikes I thought I would try and get a bit more advice. I am the short one 24" inside leg so my range of bikes is limited, it does go up if I look at kids powered bikes LOL. As I mentioned on previous posts I've got the Currie Motor Kit...

    Currie queries

    Hi Nick, I have the Currie motor on my bike but I don't have IZIP, but I should imagine its not too different. As Flecc said maintenance is miniminal, only cleaning the electric points to the battery and controller in the 2+ years I've had it. Taking the back wheel off is no more effort...

    Please step forward, Is your bike legal ?

    Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd ask: In A to B mag they say the Currie Kit is illegal in the UK or "has legal issues". Is this true? Am I now and illegal rider? could I be jailed? :eek: Maz.

    Throwing Things

    Ah the Abuse.... Here in Bristol its not the younger ones I have problems with but the "normal" working people. The younger ones tend to pass some remark of the "old bird" on the bike, but like Flec, I turn round and have a chin wag with them... then they are totally amazed at my leccy...

    Should I Just buy a new Leccy Bike?

    Hi Everyone, Just an update on my enquiry about the Bionx at PowerScoots. I didn't get a reply, but, they have now taken the Bionx off their website, so I will take that as they aint going to stock it. A shame coz I really like the look of it. If anyone gets to know of any stockists...

    Should I Just buy a new Leccy Bike?

    Hi Flec, Cheers for the advice. After all the considerations, I will probably keep to an add on motor. Main reasons for this is my size I'm only 5 foot and always find "normal" sized bikes too big, my inisde leg is only 24/25 inches LOL. My Trek is superb and it took me a hell of long...

    Should I Just buy a new Leccy Bike?

    Hi Flec and everyone, Didn't know where to post this so easier to start a new thread. After your advice on my bike cutting out, I cleaned the parts with Isopropyl Alcohol it seemed to make little difference. For the first time today it did feel like the power was weakening, which leads me...

    How did you find the Pedelecs site ?

    Hi Russ, I found the site because I wanted to find the Currie Electro Drive owner manual (these where the exact words I put in google) I searched the whole web, not just the UK and PEDELECS was on the second page of my search. By the way if anyone does have the Currie manual could they...

    The power to make cycling make sense

    I wouldn't call it cheating I love my electric bike and I would never say it was cheating. People ride Mopeds and Motorbikes and of cors Cars. The electric bike just lets me choose if I want some assistance or to go all out on my own. I have only been using my electric bike since June this...
