Pro-Connect ordered?

[keithhazel]

With the price of the phone calls to 50cycles, I could have bought a ebike.
In the 12 weeks I have been waiting I could have ridding across the USA.

Everyday I wake and think "im gonna get it today" and then look in the mirror at the end of the day and think "you're Deluded, you need professional help".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i may have said it befor, but dont give up on your dream if thats what it is..after all WATT who invented the light bulb did over 5000 experiments till he got one that worked..they where not failures but one step nearer getting what he wanted, one that worked,if he had given up where would we be............................................ in the dark !!!!!!

 

[burncycle]

just as nothing to do i looked at the spec of the new wisper and WOE what a difference to the old one..the power alone mode is 40 miles and pedal assist up to 60 miles...thats over twice what the old battery did, and a deristrict button too, although not as fast as the old ezzee with deristrict as wisper is 19.5mph...off road of course...not having really looked at other bikes as not in a position to change my quando as its a work horse that does exactly "what it says on the tin"...but for speed, power, and range are other bikes much better then this new wisper ?...have to admitt on first glance i didnt find it as "sexy" or "styleish" as i did first look at your pro connect...its horses for course isnt it...ive never gone for style much as my parents always drummed it into me that i would be better off with performance first and then looks...i wish i could have a week riding all these different bikes as they will be swings and roundabouts on their different features...

Its just about time A to B mag did it all for us isn't it !
Wisper, Kalkhoff, Ezee, Powerbike ect.........

[burncycle]

Get one Pro cyclist.
Put all the bikes on time trial with the one cyclist.
10mile course.
3miles flat, then 2miles climb at 900 feet, then 4miles flat, followed by 1miles climb at 1200feet.
Best time wins.

Let's do it!

A bit frightening but I would be willing to put in a bike on the condition that all the bikes entered were street legal, (I mean 200w and 15.5mph top speed) then they could be tested like for like.... or not but there would need to be some rules for the comparison to make any sense!

Best regards David

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
as your 905eco has 250w does that mean its not street legal ?

 

[flecc]

It's legal at 250 watts Keith. In any test case the EU law would undoubtedly have precedence over the UK law, the latter about to be rescinded shortly anyway.
.

 

[keithhazel]

i thought 250 was legal just he asked for "200 watts street legal".....just confused me somewhat...mind you showing me a pick and a shovel and asking me to take my pick would .... ...ive started getting withdrawl symptems for a full size e-bike after looking at the specs of them wispers...the one with the super battery that is, although looking on another site that sells the wisper it mentioned different distances and add ons like de-restricters ect...too many things for me too take in at once when im multi tasking....

Presteigne

Well guys. I just got home from work, with no messege on my phone.
Ive given up.
Phoned up this place...........

Bisbrook Ostrich Farms

And ordered myself an electric Ostrich to race in the Presteigne (symbolic).
Im gonna insert 25 x AA batteries (guess where!) which should give it good hillclimbing abilities. Its good for 25miles on a full charge.

Im entering the race as "23.5cycles".

If interviewed I shall say "at least im not guilty of burying my head in the sand".

Hope I win !
See you all at the weekend.

Regards Bob.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

no your not insane, you have ordered what you think is the very best bike you can get,waiting 12 weeks doesnt mean you are not interlectual, more it means you are interlectual because you know its the best and will wait for it, no good feelings would come your way riding a bike that is less then you can afford just because the bike "you are meant to have" is not yet ready...anyone can have second best............i have spent 4 years buying the wrong lottery ticket but will keep buying till i get the right one....think how much less unhappy i would have felt if i had not bought all the wrong ones just because "my proper one" was not ready to come out of the machine.....
same as last week and the week befor..at the end of the day................................its night..
