Turbo Bike

[Ninanina]

I've just purchased an electric bike to take the strain a bit ;)

I'm really looking forward to some great summer cycling without running out of puff !

It's great fun to ride, you just pedal and the electric motor kicks in and propels you forward...

This is what I just got:

It's a Whyte Coniston

I want one!

I want one!

If you ever get a chance to try one Adrian you will be very impressed .... they are fantastic fun .... if you try one you will buy one .. :D

My bike has a pretty good range... about 57 miles on Eco, 52 miles on Normal and about 45 miles on High

As the bike also has a normal 10 speed Shimano rear derailleur it can be used with no electric assistance as well... :)

If you put some wings on that it'd fly.

This may seem a stupid question ( Yeah it is Brian) but is there any exercise value in your activity, apart from the fresh air of course.
Whatever, it seems like good fun !. Enjoy. best wishes

I looked into one as well, a different brand, but looked nearly identical. Due to my mobility issues, I thought it might let me on some nature trails where my motorbike isn't allowed. I'm glad to hear how much you like it!

Yes Brian there is still exercise to do on the bike as you can do as little or as much pedalling as you wish, or your fitness level will allow

There are 3 levels of 'power' to choose. On Eco level the assistance is only about 25%, Normal is about 50% and High about 75%. I have been using it mostly on Normal but as my fitness improves will use Eco level and only use the higher levels when I get tired

What it means for me is that I can now ride with groups of much higher fitness and experience than myself and still keep up and enjoy the ride

The new bike also handles much better than my old Kona mb and is much more fun. I love it :)

[walpurgis]

Nah. You need another motorbike Bev! :D

[tapid]

That s interesting Bev, I just presumed it was kind of let the train take the strain situation and the rider kind of had a big cigar on. ! Thats great though. Excellent.
Used to do a fair bit of road biking myself but its lessened off now with this hernia of mine. But nothing better beats cycling for exercise and getting around. Enjoy

I always fancied a Kawasaki gpz750 turbo,mmmmm

[walpurgis]

I've ridden one of these.

This was my last bike, Yamaha XJR1300. Lovely thing with massive gobs of lazy power. Plenty of exercise just putting it on the mainstand.

There are some places that are more accessible by bicycle, where you can get closer to the environment than any other way
