The step through, I understand, has now been discontinued, in favour of a revised model crossbar in which the crossbar is slightly lower than the original. I believe this in reaction to comments about frame flex though I'm not 100% certain about that. Even so the price of the new model is...

On your 2k budget you should also consider Raleigh Motus with Bosch crank motor. I've had mine 16 months now and it has proved to be superb to ride and utterly reliable. Because I use the motor just when I get into physical distress (heart failure and spinal injuries) I can get over 100 miles...

Strangely I get more than just physical exercise out of ebiking. I find a quiet contentment not found walking or driving. It's the one thing that a disabled person, provided you can physically ride, can do and seem no different to anyone else. I went away on holiday for only a week recently...

I can only quote my own experience. I am 71 years of age, previously extremely fit and healthy until suffering cervical and lumbar spinal injuries as a fire officer. My health suffered, I put on weight and eventually suffered a heart attack. I have always ridden cycles but gave up due to the...

I would take the refund. I have debated the misleading if not downright lies of erider on Facebook on numerous occasions but they still continue to advertise in the same way. It is totally wrong of them and the fact they offer refunds to those who get caught seems to indicate they are...

Done all that, even replaced the rotor. Tried different types of pads. Done all the 'solutions' on YouTube and the quiet lasts no more than a few hundred yards and it starts again. There is absolutely nothing nothing else I can do that hasn't already been tried. I've decided to live with as...

I need to point out that I started cycling again as part of my rehab from my heart attack and chose an ebike that, specifically, I could use WITHOUT the motor easily. The Motus with its Bosch motor turned out to be a no brainer. I only wanted the motor as my 'lifeline' and as such try not to...

Eco mode on the Bosch Active Line motor is mainly the one I use, other than off. I find it very useful for slight head winds and very slight inclines. You can certainly tell it's on! I have been using this, Motus, my first bike for just short of six months now and my fitness levels have...

You obviously have a totally crime free country......where is that? Cycle mugging is a common event. Ten bikes in one week alone in one area of Manchester UK. The UK government have converted a lot of disused railway lines into dedicated cycleways but because of the fact many are out of the...

Who are you referring to? If you thing mugging people for bikes is rare then you need to think again!

I first had the idea for something like this when I was a teenager so many years ago. I am now 70 years of age and yes bikes were being stolen directly off the rider even back then. My idea is based on the Dutch type Horseshoe lock but would be operated by panic push button and opened only...

I know this is an old thread but if gets one person back on a bike then it's worth the effort. I am 71 years of age this year. I retired from the fire service at the age of 46 with moderately severe spinal injuries. I kept reasonably busy as a facilities manager with a large government dept...

Not so much a natural evolution but a different entity.

Well that just isn't going to happen to me as I simply don't cycle that sort of distance but what you say is what I too was trying to say though I still think it errs on the side of conservatism. In my case when the last charge light goes out, Bosch state there is approx 5% left before the...

Couldn't have put that better.

I have just finished my accumulated mileage test on one charge of the Bosch Power pack 300 though I didn't ride to flat it probably was about 10+% capacity remaining when the fourth of the five charge lights went out; according to the battery guide. My total mileage over four rides in very cold...

I doubt ANY modern battery isn't equipped with a balancing circuit. The difference, it seems, between mine and the one you describe is, the battery itself has a state of charge indicator in the form of five illuminated green LEDs. When charging the indicator flashes simply on the level...

I would say that about mirrors my experience. I'm still doing a running total on one charge and have done, so far, forty miles with three bars still remaining on the indicator. My predicted remaining miles is still confusing me as at the start of the last ten mile ride it read 16 miles but by...

I'm certainly aware of that but as they say 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink'. Thank you for your comment as I was thinking of banging my head against the wall!

"Remember, you have the problem, you told us all, but apparently would rather "kill the messenger" than learn something possibly useful! But you still don't know why only 4,000 miles on one battery!!!! You choice again of course!" I just cannot understand just what point you are trying to make...
