Both are good bikes. 50Cycles no longer sell the Pro Connect Xion motored bikes but might still have one or two left. They did have one X24 in Bristol in medium size if it's still there. I would check before visiting. Wisper have new bikes out next year but they are pre-production right now and...

Bikes with Bosch motors (none of these have a throttle) can be fitted with a 'dongle' to trick the controller into allowing higher speeds. I have also seen adverts for similar devices for Kalkhoff Impulse motors, again none of these have throttles. Many Asian made bikes will have a control panel...

If you must have a throttle that makes your choice much easier as it rules out virtually all European made bikes. You therefore won't need to spend anything like £2200. At least, I can't think of a bike with a throttle for over £2000 - most will be considerably less. The Oxygen MTB is definitely...

I have Big Apples on my Sahel Compacts but I prefer to run them at 50+ PSI. I find lower pressures make the handling feel a bit 'random' but then I'm a bit heavier than you. If you want to experiment I have a couple of used Big Apples in your size that you could have to try out.

Forgot to mention, lots of belt drives appearing on premium bikes.

Just got back. I thought there were a fair number of visitors but fewer e-bike exhibitors than last year. As expected, the test track didn't really enable much of a test of the assist systems. With all the bikes I tried it was honestly difficult to tell the difference between the motors. Not...

Most folders have both. The Kudos Secret and Juicy Bike Compact are two contrasting styles worth considering if the smallness of the fold is not important to you. Having not seen the Woosh Galeggo I can't comment on that, but most other folding bikes do not come close to the compactness of the...

I will also be at the show on Saturday. Last year was great for looking at lots of bikes and talking to different companies. The test track was obviously very limited and only useful for a quick first impression of 'feel'. It's a shame there isn't a ski slope or something to try and cycle up...

Ortlieb are the best in panniers but they'll cost nearly as much as the bike!

The 2014 bike has a 15ah battery.

I believe that the indicated range to empty is determined by the current charge, the most recent battery usage (last km?) and the assist level set. It will vary according to the assist that has been provided over the current journey. If you actually genuinely expected to get 180km then you were...

Congratulations. Lovely pictures on your blog. What day(s) will you be at the NEC? I'm up on Saturday and will say hi if you're there.

Well I think that's a perfectly reasonable opinion although whatever figure you choose is obviously an arbitrary limit. Why £1000 instead of £500 or £1500? As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. If you're happy with what you have, then that's what matters. If you want the best (I...
