Yeah thought so. Just looking at a seagull bike with one fitted but looks too throw away when dead etc.

That's very kind. I would love to try one. I only live in KIPPAX so not far fro you.

I quite like the idea of those auto geared hubs, nuvici I think they call em. Though I guess they are on expensive bikes. I do like the idea of a new bike ready to roll too. I need to test some legal ones to see how they perform. The event in London in April looks like it has plenty of choice...

I quite like my bike though it could do with new brakes, preferably discs to replace the current ones. Do the front hub ones perform as well? I guess they are twist only or can they be pedal assist also?

I did consider one but I am only 5.6"!

Yeah deffo something to think about. Any suggestions as far as donor bike style and a good hub motor kit. I am sure I would have no bother fitting one.

Yeah I need to try some for sure. It's a new job that I start next week so I may be able to get something with the c2work scheme though its just under the tax threshold so not sure if its worth it unless you pay plenty of cash. I really do prefer to get a bike than a scooter or motorbike though...

I just went for a ride on my 4 yr old claud butler mountain bike and only did 4 miles before I almost died! Too many hills either steep or just go on too long. If I am going to even contemplate a 12 mile round trip commute I need an electric one and that ride has made it clear. I think I...

Anyone thinking of getting the trousers from lidl make sure you get a size bigger than you are as they are small fitting on the waist.

Thanks Alan.

All that is easier said than done due to very few stores etc. But I take your point. I may buy a decent bike and self convert yet.

Thats not too far really so may just try and make it. It will be around the time I will want to buy one too.

I am reading the forums now. I am in Leeds Thanks.

Could anyone explain the benefits of this model over say the Sirocco 2? Is the motor in this one proven as no make is specified. I know its not in stock yet so maybe the questions cant be answered yet. I like the look of both models and the price (since I am a Yorkshire man!)

Thanks RobF. I need to do lots more reading by the looks of it.

Thanks for that. I may pay slightly more yet. I know I should try a few first though. I need a push to get back into cycling as I used to do 3 or 4 20 mile rides a week on my mountain bike. I have been a full time stay at home dad for the last 10 years and I have let myself go in the last 2 or 3...

Hi, just joined the forum as thinking of getting an electric bike. I have been away from regular cycling for a few years and I am now overweight and unfit! I have just got a new job and its a 6 mile each way commute and I would probably jump in my car than on my old mountain bike as I live in a...
