Ding dong the witch is dead. Or more likely; the king is dead, long live the king. Gricer's our very own Dr. Who.

Indeed. New sockie appearing in the prof forums in 10, 9, 8 ......

Seem to be a lot of birthdays today with some very Gricer looking profiles.

Also looking at the people online there are a number of ladies seemed to have joined today as well.
JaquelineR, PurelyBlue, StacyMeise, MrHappy JeanninePa. Three of which are new and all have last activity as 14:06.

Looks like Gricer is keeping himself busy.

You're like a boy pulling the girl's pigtails because he doesn't know how to express his feelings.

Nailed it.

Looks like there is no way to adjust saddle height.

If you plan on doing any amount of pedalling it is vital that the saddle height is correctly set otherwise you will find it very hard work and quite probably injure yourself.

Yes, I'd hope not to be doing too much pedaling other than enough to maintain pedal assist but I'd be sure to have a test ride before buying.

As I said, this one will be used just on the local bridlepaths for short distances; I already have a Mycle foldable, a Serialised Roubaix and a KMX recumbent for more serious riding.

But then what would you do with your life

No but it would be nice if we could have thrown Charnock overboard with it.

Aw, ChutneySpoon was far better. Can you reverse it

I don’t quite know what happened to this thread. Gricer added chutneyspoon to the conversation, and you never cross the streams of 2 sockies in one thread.

I went in for the ban and it just deleted everything. Ah well, I’m sure you know all about e-bikes now…

So can't we ban them both? The offence was trolling with two sockies which surely is the action of the owner so all accounts should be banned?

A bit of deeper delving into Trust Pilot reviews would seem to confirm that.

So it's pobably going to be the road legal variant of this:

No, and Richard knows what would happen if I did…

I am not an e-bike expert but do a lot of cycling.

My honest opinion is that this looks cheap and nasty and will fall to bits in 6 months.

The website is very cagey about the components used but the brakes, drivetrain and suspension are low end or unbranded.

If I may, I'd just like to repost the link to the eBike in question in the hope that BoredBloke comes back with his thoughts
