    Will there be any ebikes at the London Bike Show?

    We'll be there NM hidden amongst some quite large stands from other companies, next to the test track.

    wisper, freego, ebco, btwin, lifecycle, juicy? How do they rate?

    Hi Iain Surprised you haven't been inundated with replies to this question. All the bikes you mention are reliable and decent and have been around for long enough to show they aren't "fly by night". Not all manufacturers offer the Cycle to Work Scheme and not all have local retailers where you...

    When to scrap an e-bike?

    We both realised eventually around May last year. Once Sarah forgot my birthday and I wasn't quite sure what to do. I went off to work as usual only to get a call from her in tears during the afternoon furious I hadn't told her. The world cruise will have to wait another 25 years. We're...

    Pleased we are on your shortlist NM. You may have already spotted our discount offer using the code Pedelecs at our website. You should certainly try bikes before you buy and preferably buy somewhere local to you.

    When to scrap an e-bike?

    Hi Tom Keep trying the phone at the workshop and talk to Leigh there. I'm away for another two weeks but I will follow up. It's Sarah's and mine 26th wedding anniversary (we forgot our 25th) so we're doing something special. I'm sure we can fix your bike. If Leigh can find time to come and fetch.

    Battery problem - with background

    PPB: Couldn't find any issue with the battery, only the connectors and some potential wiring issues that are shown in the photos. We tested by discharging at 10 amps, three times, fully charging after each test (hence 3 days duration). This usually corrects any imbalance in the cells that...

    Battery problem - with background

    We've now collected James' battery and had a close look in our workshop. The battery all checks out and its capacity is good. We noticed a few things though, and the attached pictures help explain to others who may have followed this thread. Scorching / welding on the battery connector gave us...

    Hi James We always try and help out. Simply let me know if the battery is coming in and I will make sure to turn it around quickly at the workshop for you. I can hear that you need to be back on the road quickly and will do what I can to make this happen for you. Kind regards

    Battery problem - with background

    Hi James Very sorry indeed to hear that you are so dissatisfied with the service you have received from us. Clearly you are very upset and angry. Our records show that you purchased the kit last February for £495. You asked for a new charger in April, suspecting it may be faulty. We sent one...

    Big Bear or Cadence

    Bideford, but they have no stock. Nearest are Bristol and Swindon with stock of the Sports, and no-one yet has demo stock of the Lite Bikes (they arrive at the end of this month) and will be shown first at the London bike show in February. I'm no longer as active as I used to be on these...

    Big Bear or Cadence

    Hi GMM If you like the Cadence you ought to take a look at our Sport range. Due to arrive soon is an addition to the range, a Lite version, with fixed forks, fixed handlebars and vee brakes, but with the same upgrade options as the other bikes. (Not yet on the website, nor at our retailers...

    E-bike for ill person

    Most bikes advertised around this forum will achieve your specific requirements and many have the throttles you want. Comparing the watts, volts and amp hours of each specification is the best way to determine relative ranges, rather than manufacturer claims. Essential to your decision, I would...

    Hello. I am a new member and would value some advice.

    One of our Compacts with a 16AH battery should cope with steep hills (we're based in the Peak District) and the range. A trial ride of any bike you're thinking of buying is essential, preferably somewhere where you can also try some decent hills.

    Introduction and Question

    Yep. Cycle to work scheme is still a very sensible way to buy. Kits aren't eligible though. Not all retailers offer the scheme as there are costs to them. We do though... :)
