Well, it took a while for non-mechanical me to put it together (and I still can't figure out how to mount the rear light - anyone?) but I took the Eco Stepper for its first spin today and am really pleased. Though it's also been yonks since I was on any sort of bicycle, I was rather less wobbly...

Good thought, though I can't find a local (Torquay) one for now. After some fiddling and jiggling I've meanwhile got the handlebar hinge to lock and the main joint to bolt a bit more firmly. Next stop is the nearest bike shop to see what they say.

Thanks for the concern hopper_rider but it's the right width - just at 90 degrees to where it should be. If the bent pins were out of the way it would rotate to the horizontal locking position. Any thoughts on my other question about the central frame hinge? Nothing seems broken there on mine...

Ta freddy - though that sounds like a post-facto rationalisation on the part of Avocet for having produced a misleading battery display, it's reassuring if in any event they're all the same!

I'd try (link spam removed) no connection, just used successfully a few times for shipping boxed items). You'd need to specify insurance I guess. Do you have a good source for batteries by the way?

Here's one, showing the Toblerone in a vertical position (to lock, it needs to be horizontal) and with the pin to the right visible under a springcoil - the left-hand one is also there but is less evident in the picture, having lost its coil. As said, the pins point at angles when they should...

Thanks for replies so far. I'm away till the weekend but will follow these through when back. Any pointers meanwhile from Stepper/Viking owners about the more mechanical than electrical stuff?

All of life may have its ups and downs, but in this part of south Devon all the more so when it comes to getting around. So I'm currently trying to put together an Eco Stepper (much the same as the Viking E-Go) and am sweating over it: see main forum.

I've just taken delivery of one of the former (think only the branding differs between the two) and would be grateful for guidance on a couple of aspects to get it going. The instruction manual for all it's worth might as well have remained in the original Mandarin: 1. Where the handlebar...
