Electric Bike
so moved just outside Salisbury, the cycling is good but im 57 and got the bike out after about 10 years break, omg could hardly walk days after, kept it up for about 5 weeks and had enough, while out in Amesbury popped into bike shop to have a look, he got one out from display and said go on off you go and try it, after giving me instructions on how not to kill myself, well what a difference, fantastic, so thursday took my old bike in got part exchange and i have an ezego mtb its just fantastic, you peddle all the time, and get the bike to help you up hills etc did 20 miles yesterday and going out again in a minute, great fun and you can peddle as hard or as easy as you wish, 5 energy levels to chose from, or none at all if you dont need ir, - just thought i would share

Good to hear and great to be out exercising and saving the planet. Just don't give up the Defender all together and no lycra photos please. James

Nice. So far resisted the call of the electric bike. Nice looking bike though and a good price. I've had a few months off the bike following vaccine issues but I'm hoping to get back out soon. Typically ride fast XC ...... in lycra!

E-bike is one of my best purchases ever.

Tried one on holiday in Majorca and just had to have one.
Bought a Cube mountain bike with Bosch crank motor… truly amazing bit of kit that has taken me over 1000 miles..mostly off road.
Has vastly improved my Motorhoming experience.

Mine has a little chip so off road I can get assistance over 15mph…again just superb

Clemmo Thumbs Up Make today a little better than yesterday but not so good as tomorrow....
Defender 90 HT............Pangea Green
BMW X3 Msport............Carbon Black
Mini Electric................Grey. (wow!)
MGB Roadster……..........Vermillion
Honda Benly CD200....Maroon ------------- Chausson 98.........7.5m of fun

Ive been looking for one for my Mrs whom is just under 5ft, so need a small frame/low seat height needs to be suitable for canal towpaths and mild trails

dont want to spend more than £1500 but I see that a few are now coming out for teenagers retaining 26 inch wheels so might find something suitable, any recommendations? DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

my sister is 5 feet 2, the only thing i know is that because the frame is small you have to have the battery in a box strapped to the outside of the frame, the larger bikes have the battery in the frame, dont know what one is best there are a huge amount out there i have an ezego sorry i cant help anymore than that good luck they really are great fun
