    Which bikes give the most assistance?

    Both the Compacts and Poco use a cadence sensor (turn the pedals with little/no effort). The standard Compact and Poco both have throttles that can be de restricted. Our nearest stockist is in Dartford.

    Which bikes give the most assistance?

    Hi Sue Trying potential bikes is the only way to go and if you state where you are forum members may be able to advise somewhere close with a good range. Sarah at Juicy is also 5' 2" and has no difficulty riding either our Poco or any of our Compacts (she broke her hip at the NEC last...

    Hill climber but cute/quirky?!

    You're doing exactly the right thing in testing lots of bikes. You will eventually find the unique combination that is you and the bike you love to ride. Where abouts are you? To save you travelling many more miles perhaps forum members could point you towards a reputable stockist with something...

    Juicy do work with the Halfords Scheme. You simply need to place a special order with them. Firstly though you need to confirm it's a suitable choice for you via a test ride... of course. Hope this helps.

    Hi from Jason in Bedford, UK

    We have some Retro Electric Scooters which need batteries and though it has been on my jobs list for ages I haven't got around to it. I'd be happy to hear a cheeky offer for a battery-less bike...

    Want to join the fun but need help

    Husbands, hah! What do they know. There's a great shop in Southampton, Drayton Cycles, with plenty of bikes to try, all the way down to sub £1,000 and who may have a Juicy Poco in stock for you to try. Only you can say which feels best for you, following plenty of test rides, hopefully all...

    Juicy Dutch Style Classic

    If it's a Classic, it has a throttle. If the throttle has been removed it can be replaced. All our Classics have throttles and have done for ten years... Hope this helps.

    electric bike for small lady with neck and back problems?

    Hi Emma We have two bikes that might be suitable, but our nearest stockist is 51 miles from you at Guisburgh. You could try our Classic or Poco step-through bikes. It would be well worth the trip as you should really try as many bikes as possible to make sure you get the best fit, especially...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    I'm sorry Steven but the gentleman that could help isn't back at work until Tuesday. It's not something that interests me personally as I think the legal limit of around 15mph is just about fine and I don't want to encourage anyone to break the law. If you call our workshop on Tuesday then...

    Decisions decisions...

    You sound like a good candidate for a torque sensor type system. These can be found in many bikes, mostly within centre drive motors and increasingly with hub driven bikes. A torque sensor will allow you to contribute your effort, which from what you say, appears to be what you like to do...

    hydraulic brake switch

    If you only need the cheap bit, go with Woosh. But if you need the whole kit ours is a complete set of Tektro (rotors, calipers, pre-filled tubes and brake levers complete. But as our spares prices aren't designed to be an income stream we only supply those to Juicy owners. Do you specifically...

    What annoys me about some posts

    I do think a post that is simply a short opinion loses credibility and those that want to be taken seriously should avoid the one line, subjective statement. Um, like the one I've just made. Scratches head...

    Front suspension, disc brakes & gears

    Ha ha. Soon will be AT, but snowing today at Parsley Hay (the best trail in the Peaks, IMO). Looking better, but still cold for this weekend. If you go a little further into Ashbourne you can try almost all the options you mention at our shop there.

    Have you checked that your pedal sensor disk has all its magnets and is fairly parallel to the sensor?

    Need help choosing a bike for 19 mile commute

    Ryan, you really should go and try a few. It is impossible to choose from what other people say about which bike they think is right for you. You need to find out just how comfortable you find a bike is to ride. Russell's Bike Shed in Sheffield have a scheme in conjunction with their local...

    Need help choosing a bike for 19 mile commute

    Ryan, you'd be more than welcome to come and try a Roller among some proper hills in the Peak District. I think it would easily help your commute and is very comfortable to ride. We have some fully refurbished ex demos available at our New Mills workshop and our Ashbourne showroom too. You can...
