I have been pondering on the idea of buying an electric bike and just wondered if anyone on here has any experience of them. Tia . |  |  |

There's a new electric bike shop opened in Southport near Morrisons.  They also hire them, so it could be worth popping in to test before you buy.https://powerstation-electric-bikes.business.site/ |  |  |

Cheers Gibbo, I got one today from Birkenhead cycles which I had forgotten was even there. Very helpful guy in there . A little bit strange if you haven't ridden one before   |  |  |

Oh right.  I go places on my broom and it's not electric, it's powered by wind.

I always thought a small windmill on a bike would be a good idea.
 A quick pedal to get moving then the sails are turning  Convert that into electric to power the wheel and you're sorted!

Two windmills work better, one to catch the high wind and one to catch the low wind, it’s called the B & F system.
