ill take a better photo tomorrow. This hill kind of increase in steepness as you up further up. So my guess is about 10% at the bottom to 14% at the top

I took these photos of a hill leading up to my house and it is STEEP but I what grade do you think it is? Picasa Web Albums - Andy

Today I saw a Lafree twist parked outside a bicycle shop near my house. It was the first real ebike i saw in real life.

That will be a nice way of doing it but seems abit tedious as you cannot see where you lock the bike underneath the cover. There is always the chance of missing the lock on the bike, So I think it may be better to first securely lock the bike then put on the cover. Lock the cover using a...

How do you prevent it from being stolen?

Are there any cheap rubbish bags that would fit over the bike?

Are there covers with holes already? I have had a look on eBay and from what I found, I could not find one which stood out and most seems too expensive for the purpose.

Thx for the info flecc. I will probably get a bike cover as you suggested, and with the lock I think it will do the job. But it seems 50cycles have ran out of the NiMH battery so I had to order the LiMH. However, I'm glad that the nice chap gave me a discount. :) So im still expecting my...

I will be expecting it in 7-10 days from now. I also bought a PITBULL U-LOCK & CABLE (I hope it's secure enough). Is it worth getting a teflon spray aswell (will it help to make the bike more water and wear resistant?)?

Just ordered the Quando II, but I was quite disappointed that the only color there is in stock is Silver. I was hoping to get black :(.

Actually with that speed I can get to Uni (ignoring traffic etc) in 7-8min. So in reality, it will take be about 12-15 min to get there.

That's true...but at least we do not have to pay any road tax etc...

I just checked out that Mic Johnson does 10m/s and comparing it with 15mph (6.7m/s). So it seems pretty fast I must say.

Come to think about it, how fast is 12-13 mph? I am trying to imagine how fast it is in real life.

Just called 50cycles and confirmed the NiMH battery is 100pounds cheaper. Will be seriously considering this option :)

Looking at your picture flecc it looks like Bathwick Hill is less steep so I am kind of relieved when your demo shows the quando cruise up that hill. I have found another model. What do you guys think about this one? 50cycles UK Electric Bikes Information - NEW Currie IZIP electric comfort...

Yes, it would be a disaster if the Li-ion battery suddenly stops half way up the hill. :(

Now you are worrying me. Luckily there is an adjacent hill named something like North Road which goes to the Uni too and that is less steep and less busy road.

I just had a looked at your website. seems the lafree twist is the best one, shame its discontinued. I wonder how powerful the quando will be if its motor mechanism was the same as the twist.

Im referring to the nasty Bathwick Hill leading to the Uni of Bath.
