Let me know I am 5' 6" tall with a 28 inch inside leg (that's why I have trouble getting trousers to fit me) Your inside leg measurement is the most important, but it's never mentioned, just your height. Someone who is 6' 6" but has a small inside leg measurement would buy a frame for their...

A throttle on a Panasonic pedelec As an owner of a Lafree Twist the new Kalkhoff Agattu/Raleigh bikes interest me, but the one addition I would like to see is a throttle. This would require a clutch between the crank & chainwheel, so that when the throttle was engaged you didn't have to pedal...

Everything comes to those wait! Hurray, this bike IS the successor to my Lafree Twist. Derrick - Llanberis

I've found the successor to my Twist - 2 Damn!!! Derrick - Llanberis

I've found the successor to my Twist The Gazelle Orange Innergy ticks all the boxes! A drive through gears bike, with a more powerful motor than the Easy Glider, 250w against 180w. The only thing I need reassurance with is it's hill climbing abilities, but being very similar to my Lafree Twist...

Solder irons - electrical I have just taken delivery of an 100w solid tip iron for £12.43 ANTEX & it is excellent. Model HP100. They don't charge you postage!! Ordered on the 28/09/07 delivered on 29/09/07; a first class service & an excellent product, I wish some e-bike makers could emulate...

Good & bad with a Lafree battery With my re-celled (Windsor pack) I got 29 miles out of my Twist, 6 miles more than I ever managed on the original battery pack before the LED on the handlebar switch started to blink. I put the battery on refresh (discharge) but when the charger switched over...

Mountain bikes up Snowdon - an aside When the park authority drew up this voluntary agreement (about 5 years ago) they made it known that if it was ever abused it would have the force of law behind it! So far it hasn't. Derrick - Llanberis

See an Electric bike in Snowdonia You can it's mine! I can provide many very good photo's, but they are much to big (MB's) to put on this website. Derrick - Llanberis

Riding up Snowdon Hello Ian, At the moment I don't know, but I will find out for you. A year or so ago they (Snowdonia parks etc.) tried to ban mountain bike riders from using paths, I think they were worried about the damage mtb's were doing to paths & running into walkers, some of the riders...

electric bikes - where are they The first electric bikes I saw round here were two middle-aged Irish tourists in this village (Llanberis) with Lafree Twists. I had long been thinking of getting an electric bike, but the ones I had seen on the Internet I was't impressed with, they all seemed to...

Quick solder method What is the quick solder method? Derrick - Llanberis

Second thoughts The one thing that makes me nervous about spending money on my Lafree Twist viz. the Shimano 8 speed hub gear, which would (guess) cost me about £200 including a new wheel, is if the main circuit board packed up, or parts that can only be obtained from Giant, the cost of these...
