Thanks for this. Will have a look...when I'm feeling brave! Don't want to negate the warranty... Was hoping there was a less invasive way...

Hi All, After a visit in person to 'e-bikes direct' HQ in East Sussex, much to my surprise I plumped for the Freego Eagle with a twist-and-go throttle (not a thumb throttle, which would've been more uncomfortable to use longterm). The Freego Eagle hadn't been in my shortlist, but it felt the...

I’m 5’8/9” around 69kg or lower (under 11st), a confident cyclist - grew up in Oxford, up in the hills of Scotland every holiday - it’s just that my legs don’t bl00dy work anymore. Luggage would be just for day trips (we have a campervan!) and I don’t like low handlebar positioning like you...

PS: Thanks so much for the above. Good to know there is such a scheme! Soo... comfort aside, if we looked at your stock purely on factual, paper terms, is there a Juicy model that might be most appropriate for my situation? :D

Quite right - thank you. I’m guessing I’m asking for help to narrow down my selection to a Top 2 or Top 3 bike models, from which to choose the most suitable option! I’ll look up your recommendation Drayton Cycles in Portsmouth. Thanks for taking the time to reply - it’s appreciated :-D

Thanks for this - I’m desperate to start cycling and would love to try one of your bikes. Unfortunately, there’s a very noticeable and surprisingly large Juicy gap around Brighton where I live. Why is this? I’m not fussed on looks, more need a bike which fits my needs. So which of the above...

Evening All! Essentially, I’m looking for a hybrid or off-road bike with a throttle, as due to being disabled I can’t always peddle, even without applying real pressure. Yes, I’m aware of current regulations, but frankly, for me it’s either a throttle or no cycling and no outdoorsiness. Of...

Still stuck choosing a throttle bike (for a disabled user...) Help!

Thanks for taking the time to explain everything: it’s really helpful for a newbie like me to have it all spelled out! The Santana looks far more comfortable (better for my pain), but the Zephyr looks like it would handle hilly dirt tracks better. Do they both have the right power for off-road...

Thanks David. Which Wisper bike would you suggest is best suited for my needs, please (5’9”, less than 70kg; no peddling; dirt road hills; off-road/ hybrid; speed, available on Finance)? Cheers, Abi.

Thanks, I know e-bikes are heavier, but some are more tricky to transport than others! We currently don’t have any bike carrier as we can’t go cycling together. Which I’m hoping to rectify! We’re about to swap cars on the Motability scheme, so are going to have to think about how to transport...

Love it Trevor, but I’m lucky enough to not need quite so much assistance most of the time. Plus I have a mobility scooter already. Not nearly as cool as the Ogo of course, but then it only cost £150 secondhand - from a lovely 87 year-old lady who didn’t need it! Thanks for taking the time to...

Wow - what incredible design! Absolutely stunning: thanks for that link. Glorious. However, I have a mobility scooter already, plus I am able to use my legs in some capacity (most of the time!), so I think that the Ogo is somewhat overkill. Bloody gorgeous piece of kit though!

Morning Woosh, thanks for your message late last night: I’m impressed by your dedication! So, unfortunately I don’t really know what I’m looking at - which is why I asked the question in the first place! With regards your website, I got as far as discounting the Big Bear (great on hills but...

Gaz Love, thanks for this. I *may* have been stalking your previous posts about the bike your missus has What’s the difference between the 705 and 905SEs pleasey? Thanks for pointing out the Oxygen too. It’s another bike I’ve been looking at, though I’m also not sure of its non-pedalability... Abi x

Hi, Thanks for your message. I had a look at your shop earlier today when I was perusing the forum. Me, I’m 5’8-9” and 10 1/2 stone-ish. I haven’t weighed or measured myself in years: probably shrunk and got heavier, haha. But I’m a fairly average weight for my height. Range is not so...

TL;DR: Pedal-free, off-road/ hybrid bike (available on Finance) needed for disabled person (5’9” weighing up to 11st) who likes to go up big hills and dirt tracks. And speed. Evening All! My legs don’t work so well, so I’m looking for an off-road or hybrid bike which doesn’t require me to...

Fab - that’s the kind of newbie info I need: I like a bit of speedy cheek! Thanks for the heads-up Rat Appreciated x Abi x

Excited newbie

Hello! I’m Abi, living in the environs of Brighton with my husband and kids. I love, love, LOVE cycling, but haven’t been able to do it for years due to ME, Fibromyalgia and chronic pain (which gets worse with exercise). I used to be a gym bunny and regular swimmer too, but have been...
