Thanks for all your help on here, l tried a Juicy folding compact bike today and loved it so bought it. It has 8 speed derailleur gears but l'll get used to them as l was hoping for hub gears, these are easy though. Very happy so far, thanks for challenging my thinking and all the helpful hints

I've been searching for about 3 weeks now and found a bikeshop in Southport who had a few in as l wanted to try the Cube compact and the Juicy folding compact with the 3rd option battery so 35-40 miles, we went there today. I only trialled the Juicy and l was sold, bought it and brought it home and ...

Wow l did a search for Juicy bikes and was directed to this thread as 'juicy' keeps coming up so whilst l'm here can l ask if Juicy bikes are safe to use whilst trying to check if your vision is affected?

Sorry again this is not my height either but it might be helpful for others

Sorry it is 8 speed

I wonder if you could have a quick look on the spec of this Costco bike please. It seems cheap for what it is, is it a bargain? Or not worth buying? My budget has gradually increased from £1,200 to £2300 over time, l have now decided to avoid folding bikes but want a step through bike preferrably wi...

Thanks guys, l am at the stage to buy online now as long as l get the size right as most bike shops will not answer the phone, l've been emailing them and waiting for call backs, they have low or no stock. I've been patient so far and still won't rush into it but if l don't get an ebike soon my hear...

Please can you advise me on frame size, l know different makes have different measurements for frames and it's confusing me. I'm 5'2" and the recommended frame size for me should be 47-49cm (Xsmall) but bikes seem to be 45 or 46cm (xxs) then jump to 50cm (small) is there not much in it when you...

Thanks Foxychic, l had heard that but then bike sellers have told me they havn't noticed this but it's been males who have said it. Today I had arranged to test a Raleigh Motus but they didnt have one for me to trial so l test rode a Raleigh Motus tour 400c 28" wheels with hub gears, he only ha...

Thank you everyone l didn't expect further replies but pleased to see them. I've got my eye on an Ortler and also have chance to trial the Raleigh Motus tomorrow and can ge 10% off for Motorhome and caravan club membership. There are great reviews for the Motus and Ortler but at least l have a bette...

What do you think of the Raleigh Motus as an ebike? Are you pleased with it?

Thanks Hemo, l've registered an interest after reading your comment, they look great with those options.

Oh Anthony you are so right, l keep darting from bike to bike then back to the first ones again forgetting why l discounted them. I didn't trial the Byocycle as l asked my brother, a keen cyclist) to check it out for me, expecting him to tell check the spec but he said it was ugly! No help thee then...

l'm hoping to trial a Byocycle Cameleon LS in the next few days because l can get it serviced etc where l buy it from. I did like the Cube and Ortler Al and havn't ruled them out yet but just trialling the Cameleon LS first unless anyone has any negative comments about these bikes

Thanks to Al and Bonzo, l checked out Bikester, they have loads of choice. Bonzo thanks for your advice about those bikes, do you have any bike recommendations for me please? Trying to narrow my search favourites but seem to be expanding it which is good l guess, l'm not rushing into anything but l'...
