went to giant dealer the prime medium frame size weighs22.5 kilos, range is 57 km in sport mode. there are a few very steep hills which they use on demo runs and the prime apparently has no trouble climbing them. I did not demo bike as I could not afford one

thanks robf, the chap mentioned there was an option for a larger 400watt battery, but he found the prime easy to peddle without assistance, and mainly used eco mode. some of the more exotic ebikes that have eco seem to have quite a long range, but do they have somewhat larger capacity...

hi all week got chatting to chap and was admiring his giant prime hybrid, a very nice looking ebike,certainly not as agricultural looking as some of giant step throughs ive seen. the prime has 7 speed nexus hub,yamaha bb moter, crank drive I assume, no throttle and 3 modes eco,and 2 others. no...

ive been trying cyclestreets android app, not got to grips with it fully but it has (liveride function) gives audio directions which I find usefull. not tried cycledroid though.

thanks jh received my irkon handlebar phone mount yesterday ,(was using phone tool bag affixed to stem. as I can now rotate position phone its much easier to see the screen, only slight problem in use is I found in traffic its hard to hear audio directions, but noticed as one approaches a turn...

thank you jackhandy, my first trial of live ride was a bit frustrating, first im a bit deafo in one ear, and using my light reacting specs. rode part of route I knew, turned on live ride, got audio directions for about 1 minute, (phone then shuts of or goes into stanby?) I then reactivate do...

hi all a bit stuck today I planned a route , the first part left at the end of my road, 15 meters warning before turn, saved route -picked live ride. I was actually walking I was expecting a voice or something to tell me turn left? speed was indicated at 2-3 mph phone then shut down and I had...

thanks all gps was on but I had to set location to google maps in phone settings, gps icon now works and I get the wee man. not tried a ride yet but like the a-b option ,much better than me having to print certain routes. the only thing I am unsure off how do you delete a route from the phone app ?

thanks all bit clearer now, I selected menu/plan route/ top text box name of my road, lower text box name of destination. this then gives me a map and I can then see live ride option. if planning a route with cyclestreets on pc it tells me left/right etc and gives me all the names of the...

hi all this is not really pedelec related, but I wish to try a local route, using cyclestreets on my pc I get the option of my location, and I type in road name of my destination. this I can then review or print. I will be the first to admit mobile phone are not my strong point. however I...

thanks all it was on kudos site I saw reference to lifepo4 assumed it came in bottle battery form. jimod, I have a more basic ebike vita uno than your typhoon which I believe has a more powerfull rear hub moter than my fun8? mine has only 3 levels of assist, and fairly hilly where I live. mine...

hi all very informative info did 33 miles Saturday mostly pas level 2 and 3 and tried the hills ,steep bits that I normally have to dismount and push, but most of these are steep but not really long . one I hate is 0.4 miles but is a bit dangerous if having to push cycle uphill. went up...

thanks all for your input, I was aware that throttles were illegal in some countries, just assumed a throttle was similar to a moped. the main reason I wanted some form of ebike, I simply cannot get up anything that might be described as a hill, my legs ache and I have to stop. my 3rd ride the...

hello all being a novice as regards ebikes, I can understand that you have to peddle and have various levels of assistance. what I assumed is that you could turn off the peddle assist, and use the throttle to go along similar to say a moped so saving my legs when they ache a bit. it appears...

no instructions/manual came with my ebike. yesterday I fitted a rear rack, had to remove rear disk brake cable to try and fit the rack. today I set my controller to highest (3) pedal assist for a steep 11% hill but was in too high a gear and could pedal no more after getting part way...

hi all took my vita uno mtb style ebike for a ride today, checked to see gears etc are working ok, steering was a bit vague (then noticed front tyre wrong way round on rim) tried assist level 1 ok for starting off from stationary, then tried a steep hill ,but got stuck on start off as I...

looking in my local clas ohlson Watford herts they had an ebike on display moter in front wheel battery housed in rear rack, which looked very neat but sturdy, rear hub 3 speed 36v step through frame. not sure of the brand name if any but £899 colour black

thanks all my commutes are varied so leaving lock attatched to cycle stand not practical. my d locks are quite long so may be awkward to carry via the Velcro straps. I did today see a ebike that had a lock fitted to the rear of cycle and mounts on the frame stays where a v brake would fit...

hello all still not ridden my ebike am still awaiting some bits from amazon. my ebike is mountain style bike bottle battery on front downtube ,controller on seatpost downtube, although I have no rack fitted at the moment hence no panier /saddlebag, as my front wheel is quick release, and the...
