OK, my Neo Volt Sport now has 685 km on the clock and my feelings have mellowed a little. I'm annoyed that I have to remove the battery to charge it, but I no longer feel the rage. I have learned to cope with the pedelec in slow twisty stuff and realised that any time I feel the pedellec is...

You guys with any kind of manual should stop whinging. When I unpacked my neo volt sport, there was some safety advice, but no manual and nothing on how to operate the machine. It took me two days to unfold the bike and another two days to activate the electric systems. This forum and some...

This forum exists because no bike ever leaves the showroom with all the buyer's wishes fulfilled. They all have design flaws. We all start to improve the bikes (are you reading this, Trinity?) and express our views on the forum. Because we're all different, we all have different ideas of what...
