    Finally got round to taking the wheel/motor to Winchester, its the planetary drive as diagnosed. Only fifty quid to fix so much cheaper than a new motor. The wheel was slightly buckled so something must have given it a big knock over the winter in the garage. I'll be back on the road again next...

    Its been a while since ive posted on here but have been quietly reading Unfortunately my cytronex has died. It was working fine before I stowed it away in my dry garage before Xmas, but for its first outing this year (babies and work have kept me off the road for a while ) it will not start. The...

    Second ride. This time a 17 mile hilly ride, all on tarmac. I have to say my impressions of the Cytronex have changed somewhat. In my eagerness to get out on the bike again I decided to force ‘her indoors’ to ride to her netball game, then whilst she was playing, I could go for an hours ride...

    When a manufacturer goes to such lengths to assure you that something is very specific, in my experience it is the opposite ! Having a largely useless battery and no reduction in price for an exchange I may have a go at replacing the cells. Nothing to lose. I'll let you know what I find inside.....

    That's a weight off my mind. The lack of battery meter is one of the major failings in my view. I spent months researching and searching for a bike that would suit me. I would advise anyone wishing to purchase an ebike to do the same due to the diverse amount of styles and assistance levels. As...

    It’s been a while since I bought the Cytronex and finally managed to get out on it at the weekend after some minor adjustments so saddle height, grips etc. I did a short 10 mile cycle with mixed road and gravel tracks, along bridleways and some parts across farmers fields (where the river had...

    Momentum Electric looks interesting. Might be worth a look. Or scour Ebay like I did for second hand.

    Throop, Hurn and the New Forest from Burley are our regular rides for shorter distances. We're planning on riding to the Purbecks by crossing at Sandbanks in the summer with a stop at the beach. There are some fantastic rides in Dorset. I've lived in B'mth all my life so probably know where...

    Thanks Flecc, It's pretty stealthy as it is, especially on the move however with the lack of front disk brake the shiny silver hub is quite conspicuous. I was hoping to get out on it tonight but the heavens have just opened after a whole day of sun. Typical ! I may have to wait for the weekend...

    Hi, After what seems like a year of research and waiting for the right bike to come up I've taken the plunge and bought a second hand Cytronex 7.3 FX. (Thanks Allan if you're reading) I tore my patella tendon at football and have since found cycling difficult up hills or against the wind...
