'with a top speed of 20mph' that's illegal then..anyone going to inform the police?

There's a lead article on this website about these 2 bikes. The Djavelo seems to have died a death, but is the Schwinn in production in the USA now? This is a handsome bike (at last..), and if it performs to half of it's quoted spec it's still good. Potentially I could pick one up in NY when I'm...

Flecc and Leonardo I stand corrected! Jason

Battery prices Flecc, I think Leonardo is suggesting these prices are exorbitant, not low (i.e. you can buy a pedelec for less than a replacement battery). £400 to £500 for a battery equates to a lot of diesel for a small efficient car let alone a 100mpg moped...my calculations suggest I...

Battery reserve There's absolutely no point in any form of battery reserve. You can pedal home if you need to (unlike a motorcycle...I had to push my CBR600 5 miles through the Jura mountains having run out of juice). The 3 major areas are clearly: better batteries, lower weight and styling...

Ok Ok I get the message. I'll give you a full report on my experience with the Torq after my first ride... Jason

Thanks for all the replies. The route is Winchester-Basingstoke which only has 1 or 2 big hills, but is a genuine 20 miles door to door and up and down all the way. I'm still tempted by the Torq, thanks 50cycles I'll be in contact asap (I'm away for a few days). A couple of other questions which...

Thanks Guys. I'm a bit disappointed about the news re the Torq. One of my main prerequisites was a need for a bike that doesn't look like a 1950s Raleigh shopper, which most of the electric bikes on the market seem to resemble (this has put me off Powabykes). The manufacturer's (Ezee Torq)...

3 years of 40 mile round trips to work (on and off) on my Bianchi and I'm a bit knackered and getting lazy(ish). Need recommendations for an electric bike which is up to a 20 mile hilly trip (I can recharge at work). I like the look of the ezee torq...has anyone used it for this type of work...
