Thanks. I'm getting really excited now!

Trex, that is something I am going to think about over the next couple of days. With cyclotricity, you can have it behind the saddle, on the rear rack, or in the middle... Not sure about the terminology! Also, I have been wondering- on the way to work, there is a short approx 25% incline as the...

Thank you, D8veh and RobF. Well, it I did the magnet test, and the bike fork is magnetic . Because of your recommendation, D8veh, I have decided to go for the cyclotricity kit, but want to give it another day or two to think about, just to make sure. It turns out you can add some of your own...

Thank you, RobF for that. It is a cheap bike and you're spot on with the price! :-) . If, for this price range, the frame for an electric bike would not be much better than the one I already have, I think I will just go for a kit. That way, If I do decide to get a better bike, I can choose one...

I was going to try the magnet test this morning, but was late for work! I'll have a look tonight though. Thank you, Juicy. I do like the Juicy bikes, but buying the kit would be a cheaper option for me. I'm wondering what sort or price range the bikes would be without the motor. I know that's...

There is so much to consider! I know I won't need much distance. I doubt an electric bike would have a distance of less than 10 miles. I will do most of the cycling on the way home for light exercise, but on the way there, I plan to peddle very little- enough to keep warm in the winter, but not...

Thank you, Johah. Well, I have a friend who is eager for me to get a kit because he is into working with those sort of things. My Das is also experienced with fixing and altering bikes, so the installation would not be a problem. It is really down to which would give better value for money...

Thanks. I like the bikes on the three sites you both have shown me. I am in Essex, so there are places to try the bikes out within driving distance. How do you think they would compare to the bike I already have though? A £200 ammaco. I am wondering because if the only advantage is that if...

Thank you for your reply, D8veh. If you can get a good electric bike for less than £1000, that would be great. The cycle to work scheme gives you a little discount from tax and you pay it back over 12 months, so I consider it a 'discount loan' lol. But a conversion kit would clearly be more...

Hi, I have been looking at this forum for a few days now and have finally decided to join to ask for some help with making a decision and for future advice. The decision I make involves a cheap and heavy Ammaco bike, which isn't nice to ride. I am on a low budget (£600 at the very max...
