Hi Mercman,

We have the FC5 in stock priced from £995

There are a couple of reviews below,

Two seperate reviews using the same words, must be good.

For information, there is no speedo or mileometer and fitting a wireless one causes interference with the control consol & the wireless speedo will not work. A wired one is ok though.

We can upgrade from the LED display to LCD which does have a speedo for £40.

Reviews are often written by one journalist for different publications as is the case here.

Not wishing to needle you here but just the one link would have given you more credibility.

I personally hate reading reviews on the internet which have simply been copied or sold to other websites to repeat. It's a minefield out there

I quite agree Steve, my mistake in not reading both reviews first

the best reviews are written by members after putting the bikes through 1000+ miles.

To a certain extent I agree with you on that, you will find though that most people buy one bike and give their personal opinion without making comparisons so they are not entirely objective.

From my experience I have found that magazine reviews tend to be biased towards those who pay for advertising although this is not always the case.

The majority of our customers have never heard of the Pedelec Forum and are just not into writing a review.

Some eventually find the forum after buying.
