Planet X Open House

Details here.

Thinking about going to get my new cyclo-cross bike / gravel bike. Problem is that the distance is too far to drive and back on one battery, and no convenient charging nearby. Normally I would go by train, but if I do buy a bike, I have to get it back home again.

Anyone else thinking of going?

Sounds like you need a real car ! Not going as I'll spend too much, and it's not too far from me, just over a big hill.

They've moved since I last went but still aren't too far from the train station.

Can they not ship it for a small fee if you bought anything?

Ask them nicely and I bet they would do you a deal.

Think they charge £30 for delivery

I've thought about it but need to drop SWMBO at Manchester airport for 12 so would be arriving late on.

That's not too bad in the scheme of things.

Not too out for me if I went i'd only come away with an unaffordable hole in the bike fund. So think i'd better give it miss.

Wouldn't there be a petrol station or similar with chargers for a top up somewhere nearby?

Our car isn't that great for charging. It only has a type 2 connector, and can't charge any faster than 22kW, which means that I need a good hour or so to charge. Which would be ideal if there was one close to the Planet X warehouse, but the nearest one is pretty much in Rotherham town centre.

Most cars can charge a lot quicker than that, but this is a flaw of the model we chose. Second hand and within the budget restricted us from finding anything that could charge faster.

Filtering on type 2 and 22kw seems to show quite a few charging points?

Not looked closer but seems ok ?
