    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    got lot of kit (wrong size :eek it shrank honest). Halfords used to chuck freebies at me when I bought a Boardman with C2W.... Clothes, pump, Bottle thingies, pannier bags etc.... Very generous actually. Now the AVE TH-9 may be back 'in the frame'..... (Top two most likely still unless...

    OK one more.

    You are looking at the wrong models..!! Look for Haibike eq trekking.. The 2013 one ideally for me please .. Damen 44 frame probs maybe 48 otherwise but hmmmm on that.. Legal one not the s one unfortunately. With C2W I would need cheaper still to make realistic....

    haven't noticed any major price savings between German suppliers and justebikes yet for the Haibike trekking at all..... awaiting price from justebikes for 2013 model of eq trekking soon but then I think they will be buying off Raleigh for the new bikes?? Are Haibike frames a bit on large or...

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    the VW Camper will cost a fair few more pennies than the price of an ebike unfortunately. Bought a NOS (new old stock) front wheel arch for it a few months ago from Switzerland. bargain for £450! New modern tat which doesn't really fit my year van would have been over £350! Need to source...

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    Spot on Old Dave! You know me too well. The shop 'selling' the Scott seem to be doing all they can not to sell it to me and promised to email me details Monday so thatbis now out of the equation (again) Now thinking of the AVE TH-9 as it may well be better for my back position but climbing...

    Why are motorbikes so much better value than bicycles?

    Petrol. Petrol. Petrol. If ebikes needed petrol they would be cheaper to buy. Multinationals, venture capitalists, stock brokers, bankers and Conservative politicians (oh and the OFT of course) are all in it together...... bit like cereal and milk, cheese and biscuits or condoms and...

    Does anybody know where EddieO bought his bikes from in Germany? I may as well investigate that route as well. Most annoying that he is no longer here............... silly ban. silly ban. silly ban.

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    Haibike so it seems only some of the Haibike models are coming over officially then? I have emailed the local cycle shop which happens to sell Raleigh bikes to see if they know more. Also emailed Raleigh. What are the advantages again of buying a Haibike from official distributor Raleigh...

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    Also any general information about tyres on pedelecs compared to 'normal' bicycles? Do they have to be different because of weight of motor or can 'normal' tyres be used. have noticed lots use puncture proof type tyres. Are they usually tubeless.. The norm? Removal of wheels to repair. Any...

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    That was me being ironic ;). Forgot the wink bit....... It's just the idea of being showcased I don't like.... Blydi neighbours will be nosey. Terraced houses and asbos ;) £199 for two service pickups and return per annum is also an option. BUT have just found out a cycle shop in Llandudno...

    Bosch bikes under £1600??

    All four bikes are back in the frame... Although the haibike is very pretty actually. It has 400 battery, is similar in weight to the Scott. Read, and seen some nasty photos of mechanical broken bits, not so good stuff but some while back. It is 2013 model so that's a plus I guess. Need to...
