September 27, 20169 yr Hi all Sadly letting her go as space, expanding family and finances require The unique Swizzbe with mid drive and chain driving a differential integrated into rear hub Perfect. Amazing actually, condition. Battery is only degraded thing , it's good for about 15 to 20 miles tops. Shimano x9 and magura hydro brakes. Top end stuff at the time. 36v and 270w motor with belt drive Very comfortable ride, gets you speed very fast indeed. Doesn't feel like any other bike I've ridden And personally I think it looks the bomb. I've had more random stranger offer to buy it than anything else I've ever owned. I'd like it to go to a good home more than I want top dollar. It's feels a bit like being forced to re home a pet ! All original paperwork as well - you for a lot when you spent 3k on a bike a decade ago! Anyway open to offers either here or pm Happy to answer any questions that I can Cheers Kirstin http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160927/14da6f2801f15ce134748eead8fbda36.jpg

September 27, 20169 yr I wish I had a decent job I would already be on the train to come and pick it up... Keep it you will regret it later.
September 27, 20169 yr Possible source for battery refurb: http://www.velocity.ch/images/1_Dolphin_Akkukoffer_V20.pdf or try this Company: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.dreifels.ch/page.asp%3FDH%3D24&prev=search Needs translation: https://viewinghood.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/dolphin-swizzbee-akku-umbau-howto/ Edited September 28, 20169 yr by shemozzle999

Very sad.
September 30, 20169 yr Yes, it is a shame. The older I get the more I realize that life is to short but atleast he left a positive footprint on the planet. Regarding the Swizzbee code problem it appears from this old thread (2014) that this Company might have an answer - see last post: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php%3Fthreads/swizzbee-50c-code-nicht-vorhanden-austauschelektronik.29783/&prev=search
October 4, 20169 yr Author Get it fixed I win the loto and buy it Profit! ... No need to win lotto. I'm open to offers I really would like her go to a good home I'll give it another week or so here before ebay Cheers
October 4, 20169 yr I would love it but n+1 more is difficult. What about a museum? Some do keep working kit working.
October 5, 20169 yr No need to win lotto. I'm open to offers I really would like her go to a good home I'll give it another week or so here before ebay Cheers So how much do you want?
October 6, 20169 yr Author I was hoping to get offers and sell in a similar manner it came to me but... I've had a stab at flecc formula. Starting at 3k and taking 80% off to get 600 and then taking cost of a new battery (250) Gets to 350 GBP Does that seem reasonable?
October 6, 20169 yr More than reasonable. Of course I would have to double that amount to come and pick it up I still think you should find a place for it and keep it. Or fix the battery issue and put it on an auction site you would probably get your £600+ I have my own rare bike: Pretty good nick, has been intensively played with but was fortunately hidden from my little brother a Dutch collector valued it at 380€ a few years back or roughly what you want for the Swizzbee! Now if I had the original box... http://picclick.ca/Vintage-Mt-Japan-Tin-B-O-Highway-Patrol-Motorcycle-152264315257.html Want to trade? It's electric!
October 12, 20169 yr Author Last try here before ebay or gumtree 300 or open to offers. Must go within next 10 days
October 17, 20169 yr Author Ok I have an offer for 250 through local rag which I will take....... But I'd rather it went to someone who'll appreciate it ! So any takers at 250 ? Going.....going....
October 17, 20169 yr You are really trying to make me regret I don't live in the UK or what? That is giving it away even with the battery issue!
October 17, 20169 yr Even I'm tempted now. It is worth buying just to squirrel it away somewhere. Go on, you know you want to! It's a work of art and we'll never see the like again. I'd have it if I was a bit younger but it doesn't make sense to squirrel things away at my age. Dave.
October 21, 20169 yr Author Nealh has just left my house with a shiny Swizzbee in car boot ! I'm genuinely delighted she has gone to a pedelec loving home and stayed within the forum community to boot. Great to meet you Nealh, though the morning seems to have vanished in a puff of ebike chat. I had no idea we'd been gassing for so long [emoji3]
