    For Sale: Tonaro Esprit

    This bike is in superb condition, having been used only a dozen times. It is fantastic and will take you up steep hills, no problem (and I'm heavy!) I purchased it for £1,200 two and a half years ago. The battery is in great condition and holds its charge and gives plenty of mileage. I'm...

    I'll be going to Devon at the end of October, but I don't want to wait until then! Maybe I'll have to be patient and try out a few others. The price looks tempting. I wonder how long it was on at the higher price . Thanks again Lynda.

    Hi, Thanks edieo, I'll take a look at the classifieds. Kitchenman, That bike looks OK, I've also had my eye on this one: Quartz Bike, UK but from chat on the forum the mileage etc is over rated. But that is the basic style I'd like. I also don't want to buy a kit, just an electric...
