Thanks for that review. It's a firm I've never heard of, with bikes I've never heard of! Always willing to learn.

No, I've never bought anything from Cyclezee, but I have emailed the man that runs it in Milton Keynes, when trying to make a decision on what to buy. He has been on this site for a long time, so I assume him to be reputable! If you have a look at YouTube for Ezee bikes, they are very thorough...

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Truss?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 GTech bikes on this link, but without batteries. Strange.

There is this Smarta bike on EBay, which is a good make, and worth keeping your eye on: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smarta-36-volt-electric-bike-with-brand-new-battery-and-charger-/182193804661?hash=item2a6b98d575:g:6fkAAOSwRQlXeWlz I have no connection with it, but it's the sort of bike I have...

Have you considered the Ezee Sprint? http://cyclezee.com/ezee-sprint-primo.html I realise you are working to a budget and it's not easy. In fact, that's something I've just been spouting off about on here on another thread! If you consider it over a couple of years for your transport, it doesn't...

The Juiced Bikes range is listed as a car-replacement: https://electricbicyclecenter.com/products/juiced-bikes-odk-u500-v3 and it's less than 5000 euros. It still has to reach us in the UK though.

Yes, it's usually money that's mentioned first if anyone asks me about my bike. I try to tell anyone who is really interested, that they don't need to spend a fortune to get on the road. For people who come on this forum asking for advice, they seem to be put off and disappear, merely because...

I was just going to post that the Sprint Primo comes with everything you could need, for £795, when I found your post. I keep seeing the GTech adverts on TV. They must be spending a fortune, but it does not alter the fact that you don't get much for your money. As Ben Elton said, 'All style and...

When the shop-owner can get a few words in, he explains things well!

They seem to have more imagination in Australia.... http://www.moruyabicycles.com.au/contents/en-uk/p8140_eZee_Sprint_with_15_Ah_Battery.html and: http://www.glowwormbicycles.com.au/collections/ezee-electric-bicycles/products/ezee-sprint-l-electric-bicycle This country seems to favour grey and...

Emu cycles have integrated batteries and hub gears.

Yes, there's always someone who knows better! Where I work, my boss always has someone telling him how they would run the firm. If only they knew what it takes just to keep your head above water. The more types of EBike and the more colours the better. (We used to have a radiogram, about 1967 I...

http://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/Item/Brands/PowaByke/Powabyke_Shopper_E100_Electric_Bike.aspx Just seen this on the EBikes Direct site. I'm not sure what the gearing is. Looks like the sort of bike you can just hop on and use.

I forgot. The firm I work for sells and repairs garden machinery. We sold a couple of GTech cordless cylinder mowers, until we had to repair one, and found what was inside.... We, and our supplier, stopped selling them.

Very true, and surely we are in the era of rust-resistant chains, which need even less oil sprayed about. I, hopefully, have learned my lesson as far as over-oiling my chain is concerned, and with a hub motor and hub gears, there is hardly any stress on the chain anyway. I also notice that...

That's interesting! I searched the other day for 'How many gears does an ebike need?', and found this: http://thorncyclesforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=7833.0 which seemed a very informed piece. I liked my Santana, but felt I only needed three gears, so built my own. Woosh bikes do seem solid and...

When I first had my Woosh Santana, I thought I would see how far it would go on one charge. I managed 29 miles, and got home knackered, with life left in the battery. I suppose this is because of my state of health and age, but it shows that you still need to put in physical effort when riding a...

http://www.treehugger.com/bikes/two-wheel-drive-electric-utility-bike-doubles-as-remote-power-supply.html I found this while looking at an article on a bike that IKEA have made available. Interesting website, with their attitude towards bikes in general.

No, I didn't, so I had a look, thanks. The reason I bought the frame I have now is because it is purpose-made for electric bikes. It has the type of battery that is easily available (I bought a 15AH) and all the other components are standard. There is somewhere to put the controller, rather than...

As I was typing my reply to a thread just a few moments ago, a large red box came up on the screen, with some sort of warning. I'm afraid I didn't make a note, but it's never happened before, and I'm using Linux.
