candapack Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 peter - 2014-04-24 9:09 PM Here's my new bike. Lovely! But, if you think you might use it mostly abroad, you should have bought a LHD model in Europe. Plus you would have saved thousands of money. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote (from link) "But after reporting the theft to police and fearing he would not see his possession again, he received a phone call from a suspicious man asking for a charger for a Go Cycle. He then managed to track down the caller - and paid him a visit in a 1970s army truck with three of his friends......" >:-) (..although the problem now, is that he'll probably just get his windows bricked in..... :-S ).

Ah, I see, I didn't read the newpaper article hence didn't know that's what you were on about. We had the chance of a couple of Gocycles (1st version) at £750 each localish to us but they had NiMi batteries which could not be bought so if we needed one we'd then have to buy the upgrade kit at £415!!!! I love the design of them but they are not folders, more like dismantlers, and I'd be too worried to leave them anywhere in case someone nicked bits off them! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just tested this one today, collecting tomorrow with £350 off latest Bosch system and 400wh battery, uprated saddle, posh grips and bar ends and a neat pair of small light panniers. Sweet. http://www.nationwideebikes.co.uk/gepida-electric-bikes/product/97-gepida-alboin-2014 Might be able to keep up with OH up hills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candapack Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 One of my great joys was going off on 20-30 mile bike rides on my own. Even at a gentle pace, done over 4 or 5 hours, it was too much for OH. Then she got an electric bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have save a couple of kilo by having fixed forks, tried both models and was happy with suspension model. Yes, some bikes at 20kg all up but at three times the price (or more). Haibike Xduro £6k nice but a step too far for my usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of lighter better spec bikes around for 2K especially if you buy in Germany.... Another word of caution the new system is not without its problems, so make sure you buy from a local dealer with an established reputation for support!

Your previous comments.... bolero boy - 2014-03-09 9:04 AM Eddie, have you seen Gepida before, bosch motored ebike... http://www.reactionelectric.co.uk/newsite/gepida-ebikes/product/12-gepida-asgard Yes Chris a fine bike from a good manufacturer with a fine reputation..everyones doing Bosch these days try one to find out why!

Guest JudgeMental Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 they are generally an OK manufacturer, but the spec on this one seems poor, sprung shocks with 50mm travel? plenty with far better air shocks around at that price point with silky smooth XT gear sets as well. the weight set alarm bells ringing to be honest as it shouts poor spec......its your money..but a lighter bike has better handling and performance on hills + ridiculous to compare with a 6K Haibike. My 3K Haibike was delivered for under £1500 purchased as an end of season sale.... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fahrrad-Becker-Lemgo/_i.html?rt=nc&_nkw=bosch%20bike&_sid=126571242&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1581&_pgn=2 edit: you can see the different specs more clearly on the Gepda site....not all 2014 versions have the performance drive. but some lighter bikes on there http://www.gepida.de/eng-deu/product/category/pedelec/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
