Hi, This post may be too late if you have sent your charger back. Of late we have had Trek bikes with the Bionx kit which have shown no sign of life and also not charging when connected up to the power supply. With their system you need to install the battery on the bike then connect up the...

Hi, When you connect the charger up to the battery and switch it on, are you getting the charger indicator light coming on ? As a Trek dealer we have come across this problem with new batteries on the Trek bikes which use the Bionx drive system. If you can let me know the situation with the...

Battery performance on any electric bike is dependent on the individual rider. As a Dealer selling Trek along with Giant, Gitane and Batribike, we always advise customers that the distance you get from a charge is down to how you "manage the battery". With three and four mode controls on the...

We have exhibited at Presteigne on a couple of occasions, but unfortunately it is a long journey from Edinburgh for a one day Show. However if anyone is visiting Edinburgh or passing through on holiday they are more than welcome to visit and try out the demo-bikes we have available six days a...

Had a meeting with Ian Hughes today and he has supplied us with a Storck demo bike for our Stand at the SECC, Glasgow this weekend. We are pleased to have the bike for the Show and for a short time after to allow us to evaluate it and get customer feedback. If you can't make the Show come and...

The Giant Twist Freedom CS Lite comes in Ladies and Gents models. Ladies models come in Small and Medium while Gents are Medium and Large. I would suggest if it is Gents you are looking to buy it would be a Medium.

The torque is measured via the deflection of the rear wheel spindle. This is why it is important that if the rear wheel is removed it is then torqued up to the correct setting when refitted or the sensor will not function.

Indications today are that the bikes will retail at £2200 and £2400. Hopefully we can get more information next week.

We find that most of the cheap ones eventually suffer from horizontal movement of the saddle. Spend as much as you can afford would be my recommendation

Had an enquiry via our website yesterday for a key and charger for a Giant Twist Express RS2. This sort of request always rings alarm bells but I will follow it through requesting Frame No etc.

I have no experience of Alien bikes or conversions but have ridden a number of e-bikes from various manufacturers. Having ridden the Trek bikes which have the Bionx equipment fitted I can honestly say they are the quietest motors on any bike I know, you only hear tyre noise ! The Dahon Cadenza...

There are four kits available, all coming fitted into a rim with wheel sizes 24", 26" and 700mm. As detailed in the Spec, all are 250W motors but have four power modes and the same for regeneration.

The Bionx system is the same on all three Trek models. Regenerative braking operates when you apply the front brake.
