Slightly late in delivery, my Powacycle Salisbury LPX arrived yesterday morning in a gigantic box. The large but fairly light Li-Po battery was put straight on charge whilst I fixed the pedals and handlebar onto the frame using the supplied tool kit. After removing all the excess packaging...

My main reasons: - Public transport is rubbish - to get to my partners old place of work 3.5miles away takes an hour of walks and buses! - Cars are too expensive and we all need to lower pollution - Not fit/well enough to ride a conventional bike or walk too far - Electric bikes are cheap...

I found out about electric bikes through looking for alternative modes of transport for my partner and myself. We don't have enough money to take lessons and buy/insure/run a car, he didn't want to get to work all sweaty on a conventional bike and I am really unfit due to illness. So up came...

Thanks for adding me, Flecc :) Still waiting on my bike!:o Should be here tomorrow though! We got my boyfriend a push bike today which is pretty smooth, can't wait to ride together!

Thanks! Bike arriving tomorrow: PowaCycle Salisbury LPX, postcode IP2. Much excitedness!

Thankyou :) We've ordered the Salisbury and it will be arriving tomorrow! Its so exciting. Which bikes do you have? I think there should be a bit where our usernames are to include bike type in addition to name and location:D Its going to be hard to resist the temptation to take my house...

Thankyou once again for your response :) I think I will order the PowaCycle...my reasoning being if there isn't much between the two then it may be easier to source parts for the Salisbury than the Mistral. Next to save for one for my partner too so we can ride together and he can cycle to work!

Congratulations on getting Spirit! :P I have also been lusting over the 905SE but too expensive for me, I'm glad you are enjoying it though! Just make sure your you don't over-do the fish'n'chips and McDonalds or you might find your range dramatically reduced :P Or at least the misses...

Thankyou! Your comments are really appreciated, Flecc. How much range do you think they would have with very little peddling? PS the homework was mainly done on this forum hehe ;)

I'm so excited and can't wait to order one, if you think its a good idea after the information posted above! It would give me so much freedom :) Which of those three bikes would you buy and why?

I live in Ipswich, in the gloriously flat Suffolk! Hopefully that will help the range of whichever bike I (eventually) decide on!

I'm new to this forum after many months of lurking, so hello to everyone! I think I'm now ready to take the plunge...but having never tried an electric bike or known anyone with one I would just like the go-ahead from you guys :) Basically I have M.E so have very little energy to be able to...
