just thought i would come say hi to everyone. just purchased a Cyclotricity Stealth through my work scheme. Got some dodgy knees and could do with assistance- commuting will be about 10-12 miles each day in total.

Ordered a comfy seat, uprated mudguards, helmet and some lights.

Anyone else made any modifications to these bikes? any tips wont go a miss.

Just looking to improve overall fitness really-hopefully this will help.hopefully shouldnt take to long to process through this scheme.

Welcome. There's so much you can do to have fun modifying these sort of bikes. The first thing I'd do is raise the gearing a bit so that I could pedal more comfortably at higher speed. Chuck the back wheel and get a cassette one so that you can get a 11T top gear.

I hope you got a nice front light. You shouldn't get anything for the front without a Cree T6 X-ML LED in it. The only others that I'd use are these ones, which run direct from your battery, though you have to do a bit of waterproofing - so convenient!

Another good upgrade is hydraulic brakes or air forks.

The list goes on and on. It's much better to just ride your bike.

Thanks for that... Yeah will look into hydraulic brakes for sure.. Any posts relating to the wheel change?

Wheels are standard, so have a look on Ebay or your local car boot sales for a cassette one. Obviously, if it's a quick release one, you need a skewer too. Then you need a seven speed cassette. If you're lucky, the wheel will already have one.
