    Thanks again Dave, have to say I'm still blown away by just how good it is. Consider me enlightened

    Hi Dave, thanks for the response. What you're saying makes perfect sense. The only slight disappointment is that it's a bit of a bone shaker - great on smooth roads and pavements but even a half inch divet can cause your fillings to rattle!

    Plan now is to use this bike for a while whilst I look for a better more powerful model and my missus recovers from surgery she had a few weeks back. She'll keep the Cyclamatic (she won't ride a bike as often as I will not as far) nd I'll get a new one so we can go out together

    Hi everyone, so I've taken the plunge (perhaps that should be a light paddle in the shallow end) and picked up a 2nd hand Cyclamatic Power Plus. First time ever on an electric bike, my goodness what a blast! Only had a short test run when I bought it but had a proper run out when I came home...

    Good advice Dave, this weekend I'm hoping to fit some test rides in

    I thought I'd found my bike (the MTB-X) then it turns out the frame might be a tad too tall for me - d'oh! I'm getting to the point where I'm tying myself in knots now but both Oxygen and Cyclotricity seem to have a decent reputation

    I'm 5'7 -5'8 (depending on how long I've been lying down LOL) not a bad idea to test one in a shop, the Cyclotricity one at 17" is definitely small enough :) The Oxygen bikes came highly recommended though I guess the retailer may have his own motivation for recommending them

    hmmmm just checked my current bike and it's an 18" frame. The MTB-X is a 20.5 inch frame, wonder if it'd be ok at a pinch

    damn, thought nobody was replying to my thread, turns out they were but I wasn't getting email alerts! I do like the Cyclotricity stealth (and yes Lee, I think I'd go for the more powerful one - great fun when off road I imagine) I do think this one looks like a lot of bike for your money...

    Step through bikes

    Quick question - are step through bikes generally viewed as a ladies bike? I hadn't considered one previously but given my back condition and the fact that the missus may occasionally want to use it then it's starting to make a bit of sense. Perhaps a compromise may be a bike with a cross bar...

    Does anyone on here have the Woosh Bermuda? Interested to hear what you think.

    Newbie introducing myself

    Thanks for taking the time out to reply, a lot of really useful info there. I like the Big Bear because of its sturdiness and raw power but I'll keep looking. Went out for a quick go on my mountain bike tonight, my goodness what a struggle, I'm way more out of shape than I thought so an electric...

    Is there anyone in the North West that has a Big Bear or Bermuda bike that I can pop round and take a look at? I'm torn between the two and struggling to understand the differences other than a couple of aesthetic ones

    http://dillengerelectricbikes.co.uk/electric-bikes/commuters/upgraded-lithium-puma-electric-bike-by-dillenger.htmlhtml Are Dillenger bikes any good? This one looks OK to me but then I don't profess to know anything :-)
