Sorry, meant to say another big thank you for your helpful comments!

Eddie, My rides tend to be about 20 miles, and about 1000 feet of climbing, so I recon battery will be more then fine on eco mode. My only problem will be when I do a bike packing ride with an overnight camp, this usually works out about 60 miles. I've either got to really tease battery, find a...

I'll definitely keep in touch on forum thanks. Sounds like Eddie doesn't even need an e-bike going out that often. I manage to get out over winter but only get in about 30 miles a week. Over summer i try harder and manage about 100 miles a week. I do some bike packing overnight trips which is...

Hi Eddie, i live near Ashford, Kent and cycle around the country lanes, Kings Wood, Byroads and Bedgebury on occasions. I rang Gary at Wildcycles, Tunbridge Wells who i had a bike fit from over a years ago, unfortunately he had lost my data (as i did), but went through my height, inside leg...

Thanks again to everyone. I have had 2 bike fits's the past, one much more professional than the other. The problem is each bike has it's own geometry and hence would need it's own bike fit to be precise i.e. saddle, stem length etc. This appears to be a non starter for most e-bike dealers, even...

Martin, your bike looks great and i ride with some people who have plenty more curves and can beat the slimmest a guys on hills, how do they do that?

Thanks for your replies, i really appreciate your help. I haibike dealers feel you should be able to sit on bike with dropper post down and have both feet near flat on floor. i think this is incorrect (imho) and from previous experience. When i did this i was on tip toe, but I've tried this on...

Thanks Eddie, I'll take a look at this site. I think I'm a little frustrated in that the older you get the better service you want. The people who seem to sell these bikes in my limited experience are finding they are growing in demand but the knowledge isn't as good as i'd like. It really...

Hi Joe, I'm not an aggressive rider, and have had back issues so really want to get this right size. I take on board what you are saying in terms of saddle and bars etc. I also have a road bike which is 54cm. What i find frustrating with bikes is the massive differences in sizing differences...

Should say my current bike is a cannondale scalpel fs 29er 18in, but every bike is different i suppose.

Hi Ravi, Martin is whom i'm buying the bike from. He seems nice enough, but maybe not the most customer focused person i've ever met. i reminded him that i want to be sure as its a lot of money. The bike only comes in either 42cm / 16.5in or 46cm / 18in sizes that are any good for me. He seems...
