Bit smarmy, David, but true enough.
Yes it is generally polite and friendly at the moment,but it has had its fair share of squabbles over the years,and all of the people involved were old enough to know better,at times people have left the forum in disgust over long running arguments or even been banned,so yes it is a likeable place at the moment,just watch some b****** spoil it.
If you had been researching electric bikes 10 years ago,you probably would have found it just as easily,back then there was not so much interest in ebikes,but flecc was here along with a lot of other enthusiasts of the time,as an early adopter you may well have gone back to commuting by car,ebiking was not working out as a cheap commute,a scooter or motor bike usually worked out cheaper over time,people were often spending £1200+ on a bike, with a dodgy lithium battery that was dying after less than 12 months,with a £300+ replacement cost and dealers that were giving in some cases,just 6 month warranties on batteries,then wringing there hands of any responsibillity,the early years were probably best watched.Just wish I had come across this site 10 years ago.....I would have ditched the car for commuting way back
It is a community and a great one at that, but with all such ventures, someone is needed as the catalyst to start it off and then run it. To create such a wonderful facility takes a lot of effort.
I admit it, it was smarmy but I meant it!
Thanks for everything plus to all who make the forum an interesting and informative place. Not forgetting some interesting arguments and discussions!
Speaking of Eddieo, his son ecently contacted, Eddie's Riese and Muller Delite is for sale. it's a couple of years old, meticulously looked after and will be a good price for a good home.
