Looks like fun. Probably be a good idea to turn the front mudguard round as shown on the website.😊

Ah ah Jeff thanks for the comment and yes I've just answered another comment from John who said the same, a blonde moment from me I'm afraid, we've corrected it now. Jackie
Just a suggestion, turn the brake levers down a bit so they follow the line of your arms - they'll feel much comfier.

Hi Andy thanks for the suggestion. Both Michael and I like them in a different position, so we compromised when we were building the bike. Lovely to hear from you. J&M
Looks like a great bit of kit. Might even treat myself......

Heaven, an E-Bike with off road tires. Hydraulic disk brakes. Fantastic for quick rides into town for shopping. Do you get to keep this? I know bikes here about $2500 dollars. How would you store on boat? I know bike can be a target for thieves. Need strong lock. Thanks for demo ride.👍❤️😀

Hi. Great to hear from you. The bike is currently on offer and we have included a discount code. The bike was sent to us for review purposes only. We may but use it on the boat. It’s a great piece of kit though. 👍👍❤️
Boy there are a bunch of these new electric bikes coming out. I like the look of a fresh design too instead of a retro-fitted bicycle, which is what quite a few others seemingly are.

If you plan to keep the bike upgrade the 7 speed gear freewheel to a 11/34 tooth cassette. It will make a world of difference to your leg speed and save on battery power. You'll pedal easier and go further.

Sort them brake levers out, so uncomfortable in that position, angle them down to follow the line of your arms.

Just don't charge it in your house
@cruisingontheborder
11 ай бұрын
Hi Robin thanks for the comment. It's like charging anything you always monitor what is happening. We have never had a problem but it's like anything to do with safety check, check and check again.
E-bikes like that should be banned from sale, 1000W motor 50 KPH top speed it's a freaking motor bike not a bicycle. Restricting it to 250w/15.5MPH in software does not make it street (or tow path) legal since it's trivial to override the restriction.

Thank you for your comment. The bike is classified as street legal in the UK. We enjoyed the bike but we appreciate your observations . 👍❤️
