    Hi Musicbooks, Have you tried Atmosphere in Bristol? not too far away and I've had a few dealings with them and always very good, always worth giving Alistair a call to see if he can help you. Maz.

    Which Folder ;)

    Hi, thanks for the replys, Martin great descrip of the Wisper and and I have to agree it is a nice looking bike. I am used to a throttle and rear wheel motor, so these two differences are an issue. I'm in Bristol and Atmosphere bikes have both in stock so I will be trying them out and any...

    Cycle helmet wearers are reckless

    Just to Add.... I don't wear helmets even though I have one, I can't really think of a reason why I don't use it but after an incident last week I realised it actually doesn't matter. The incident - crossing the road in Bristol at pelican lights one car stops..second car goes through red...

    Face Freeze

    Yep I suffered too with a freezing face, was quite comical as just as I got to work one of my mates stopped me as he was going to the shop, he asked me if I wanted anything and what came out of my mouth sounded like I'd been drinking all monrning :D I did decide to take the bus one morning...

    Finally got my bike serviced

    Finally got round to putting my UM in for a service and just have to say I'm well impressed by the guys at Atmosphere here in Bristol. Put my bike in on Monday and picked it up today all shiny and new and they even gave it a complementary wash :D. I was well impressed with what they had in...

    Cheers Flecc, think I confused myself also LOL. Frank I think I will do as you say as I seem to have a motor cut-off on both handlebars so shouldn't be too much of a loss to lose one of em.. Ta for the advice Maz.

    I Know this has been asked before.....

    I'm trying to post a technical question (strange for me I know LOL) - but when I post in the technical side it says I don't have permission, didn't realise I needed it, so I will post it here and apologise too. I need to solder the 2 wires that cut-out the motor from the pedelec (Urban Mover...

    Stupidity of other road users

    Mandy I'm glad that you can use your bell, every time I used to use mine It ended in an argument! so much so that I ended up removing the bell. Just to add to the thread though, I have to cycle on a shared cylce/pedestrian path just after temple meads on Bath Road in Bristol. Now the lovely...

    Electric Bikes on Telly

    I made a point of watching it and yep was disappointing as I doubt that slot would persuade anyone to change from a car to a leccy bike. Even the "shopper" bike they briefly showed was an eyesore with the cylinders protruding out the back. But gotta say that jet powered bike looked like a...

    50 Cycles - Ezee...... partial refund

    Can't believe some of the threads against 50 cycles recently. This one is now bordering on the insane. I mean can you imagine if we all got refunds on all products that never honoured the "warranty" or the company went bust or they stopped stocking "that particular item" So what if 50...

    The British and bikes

    I also don't feel that car users are the problem, you may get 1 or 2 that annoy you but thats not bad going seeing how many cars are actually on the road. I find a lot cyclists and pedestrians more a pain and rude. Especially if I use a cycle path thats adjoining a walkway, one time actually...
