    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    That's how it feels! Only when I get on the flat, it can take off like a rocket. Just love it! Will be selling my old pendleton (without ebikeness).

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    Wow! I'm so happy for you! Really WELL DONE! you should be so proud of your achievement. It is not easy is it. I find riding a bike easier than walking! Hopefully that will improve as my fitness and leg strength improves. Legs are still burning today Well done again! Fab stuff!!

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    Hi Sturmey, Thanks that makes sense with how I rode it on the first occasion and how I rode yesterday. The first day I just set off, up the hill, in higher gear and stopped pedalling for a sec. Started again but it had lost momentum and then it slowed and slowed, whined and felt so heavy...

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    Thanks for all your replies. It really helps. I went up the hill today again, to try and see if it happened again. Got to the flat part before it, geared to 1 and hit high power. My legs were going like the clappers but I made sure not to stop pedalling at all. ( I have realised this is...

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    I'd be very dangerous! I am anyway on my own bike lol! It sailed up the medium hills. I will have to go the long way round! At least I should lose weight! As long as I stop treating myself with cake for doing the exercise!! Thanks for replying.

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    Thanks Nealh, I know you mentioned the big bear and I have also tried the neomouv Artemis, which flew up the hill. Even though it was reasonable it was still a bit expensive for me At least I'm not doing something wrong. It was just slowing and whirring and was.going to come to a grinding...

    New bike, motor towed up steep hill.

    Hi, I have bought a pendleton somerby electric, which I love and have been out on it, for the first time, today. For the most part it sailed along and is perfect for me but when I reached a longer, steeper hill, it became quite difficult (but not impossible), to keep going. The motor slowed...

    Juicy bike

    It is good here isnt it. Thanks for your reply! I have ordered a Pendleton in navy, can pick it up now actually! I decided I adore the Artemis, it cuts through hills like a hot knife through butter but is quite a bit more than I could afford, in the end. I'm really happy with my own...

    Juicy bike

    Hi! I am so glad your wife loves her Pendleton. They are reduced again, at the moment, I think, so a good time to buy? I am still pondering about which to get. I love the neomouv Artemis sold by juicy bikes. I tested it and it sailed up the hills, was so comfortable, had a fab display to...

    Juicy bike

    Hi, I've been considering a Pendleton somerby electric bike but have come across juicy classic click. A bit more expensive but I like the Dutch style set up and beg type, (sciatica). Are the juicy bikes any good? Other type I'm thinking of is the volt Kensington. Thanks for any help...
