    Good idea for ebikes?

    I hadn't thought of that, Flecc. It is very true of course. And the coastal area is the flattest area of a flat county! Despite this I suspect that most of these hire jobs will be used as mopeds with very little pedalling going on, and I also suspect that day hire to go somewhere and back will...

    Good idea for ebikes?

    The following has appeared in today's "East Anglian Daily Times." I thought members might well be interested. I have not sought permission to copy here so it will be best not to copy this any further. I feel sure than no objection will be made to it being placed here. ==================...

    The Agattu has landed

    I should have read this first, Music. Ignore my other message. Your patience has set you up a record. The first ever in England. Are you applying to the Guinness! As to the battery. I confess to not having fully discharged mine. I've just never been far enough to empty it, and have been...

    Diamond Frame Agattu - The Photo

    Great stuff, Music. At last, at last! Bet you're over the moon. And how good it looks. You must be one the first if not the first in England! Have lots of fund in spite of the weather.

    Touring on a Wisper

    Such a pleasure to read of your Easter ride, Frank. I've been too chicken myself to do anything at all over the holiday the weather being so unfavourable. Thanks a million for posting it for us all.

    Public apology to Flecc

    It's been the very devil for you all. I've felt almost guilty at having got my Agattu so quickly and easily! And realise now, as I didn't at first, just how lucky I am that it has suited me so well and at how narrowly I escaped the EZEE contretemps. But, once you all have your bikes, you too...

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    Those wonderful 60's!!! I was sometimes driven into London to park in the centre somewhere (there seemed always plenty of space.) This was in an ancient London taxi driven by one student while at least a dozen others were crushed into the back! All wearing wides (bell bottoms) of course, and...

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    He has said a couple of times that he does. In any case up where he is the only pedestrians he's likely to encounter are Yetis! We'd better stop taking the mickey out of him - he might start gathering the clans! :eek:

    No - up the jacksie of course. And any jet propulsion effect will result in brakes being automatically applied! :eek:

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    It's true that years ago ideas were very much more relaxed. We are told that seat belts and breath testing and so forth have greatly reduced accidents but to the casual observer there appear to be just as many even allowing for the greater number of cars. I suspect that before long drivers will...

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    Sorry to hear about your friend, Jimmy. This is way off the subject now but - it would seem that some fatalities, especially among children, are an inevitable price to be paid if we are to have cars. Even given that everyone drives really carefully, sod's law will occasionally intervene.

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    No- sorry - they aren't severe enough. You are hereby condemned to ride your ebike once a week a full ten miles over a hilly course with the wind against you. The battery will be enticingly fully charged but you will not be allowed to switch the motor on. A special circuit will be installed so...

    de-restricting Ezee bikes

    Well - now you put it like that - beheading would be a better alternative!! :) You plonker - consider yourself banned from women for four years as well! Oh - and finally - enjoy your ebike and ride the damn thing legally!! And be a good boy in future like me. :D

    I didn't see you coming!

    So very sorry, Merv. Thinking of you and hoping your dreams are of happy future times riding your bike.

    Kalkhoff Pro-Connect ?

    Yipee. Can't wait to hear all about it! I'm just back from 8 miles in bright very cold weather. Glorious. It'll be you next week! :)

    49 cm Gents frame Agattu

    Great news that you have recovered from the fire and the new site sounds just the thing from which to kick off the Kalkhoffs. Hellishly annoying for you and those waiting that there is yet another delay. Those of us with our bikes do sympathise with both you and them. I can confirm with every...

    Kalkhoff Pro-Connect ?

    Damn, damn, damn!! I'm so very sorry to hear that, and there just isn't anything useful to say. Do try and hang on in there for as long as you can chaps. This Pro Connect is obviously going to be one hell of a bike when it does arrive. :( :mad:

    New to forum, advice gratefully received!

    Not mine. It depends upon your view of accountants versus entrepreneurs perhaps. Look at the latest report on SRI's in medicine for a salutary lesson in the infallibility of management. The vision of many (most - all) of our great internationals extends little further than a balanced book I...
