Now I have another folding bike!!!

Sorry to hear about your bike but please give your shed a bit of dollop or that will giving trouble.

it's only got the gardening stuff in - not the bike and it's been looking like that for 5 years now. (it's in a nice sheltered spot and the roof being asbestos keeps the timber very dry) - but yes it is on my to do list. (But get bike sorted first!)

Hi James,

You are looking at spending quite a bit of money, so I think you are going to have to make a day trip to do some test rides because the bikes you are interested in aren't going to come to you.

My advice for what it's worth would be to head west to OnBike, or east to Electrifying Cycles, both have lots to choose from and are good guys.

If you are relying on public transport, quite how you get to either is another matter.

Ok, thanks John

 

[Wisper Bikes]

but Wisper batteries are all located behind the seatpost - and they don't do an MTB.

any other pointers?

(I've looked and the Ezee offering (Raptor) and didn't like the asthetics of it)

Hi James, have you seen the new Wisper Range, no more bulky behind the seat batteries and although we don't do a mountain bike, we do a great trail rider!

All the best

David

Hi David,
Thanks for pointing out the wispers.
I went for a cube reaction hybrid pro 29 in the end. It turned up finally yesterday and my first test ride at 10pm last night with some god quality lights down a local bridal path that I was aware of but haven't been down before was absolutely amazing!
Not regretting my choice 1 bit.

Sorry, too many threads running on a similar theme. I'll be accused of cross posting soon when all I'm trying to do is keep on the subject within the thread.

Local is Royston, N.Herts , Cambridge, Stevenage are good as they are easy to get to N London too but as we start moving further afield we start requiring a chauffeur, long train journey to get us to places like MK, Wales, Bristol, the North

There is an e-bike shop in Hitchin just where "Brookers" used to have their trade warehouse, and one in Stevenage but I am not sure if they are only an A2B specialist stockist

30 years at RAF henlow now near Biggleswade, the electric bike shop in Hitchin is on the right as you approach the existing Brookers shop from the top of the pedestrian square - they have a sign board on the pavement
