Hi everyone. I've got a Claud Butler Glide 1 which was bought in July. I use it on a regular basis doing a round trip of 12 miles twice a week and 17 miles 3 times a week. A lengthy and steep climb is required out of the dale and an even longer and steeper one on the return and I can do it! I couldn't on my old road bike as age (mine) takes it's toll. Anyway even when I was young and keen I couldn't always do the climb back into the dale. I really wanted the 36 v version but my wife preferred the colour and price of the Glide 1. However I must say it seems to be very well built and performs much better than I expected. I still use a fair amount of muscle power, but nothing excessive and generally have 2 green lights left on the battery after the 17 mile trip.
It has though given me back that sense of freedom I got when I was a teenager and was given my first road bike. It also saves me at least £5 a time getting out of the dale and not using the Land Rover. Look forward to being part of this forum.
