Hi all - just found this site and signed up. Particularly interested in this thread, as I bought a pedelec about a year ago. Some comments resonate with me, couldn't log on to peddlecs site, also, seemed a tad, dare I say it, elitist! Interesting to read comments so far, for and against. I can only praise the one I bought, a BH Emotion Neo, absolutely fantastic. Recovering from a very bad accident, my wife suggested buying it for physio, was't sure, but, now a complete convert. Only problem I can see is, not wanting to return to 'normal' bike if and when fully recovered. Comments about cheating, I find hilarious, and inordinately stupid - how can anyone know an individuals situation and requirements. Mods to mine, for comfort, were suspension seat post and beloved Brooks saddle, also fitted better
quality tyres than those fitted (Schwalbe marathon plus) also added slime, belt and braces! Multiple power settings means that I can adjust to suit terrain and how I feel at the time. As I'm using it for physio I am trying to use as little power as possible, until I need it. Best range I have achieved at the moment is about 50k plus. As with everything else, 'horses for courses' If you think it's for you then just do it! A well satisfied convert
