crankcycles

We've had a lot of dealings with these bikes, and can honestly say that they are 100% legit. Firstly they are power-assist, not throttled. This means that they will only 'drive' you whilst you are pedalling, and they don't have a throttle. They can also be ridden with the assistance turned off, just like a normal bike. This is not a Stealth. We've had every type of customer interested in them; from younger riders with heart problems, through to playboy townies and older folk looking to extend their riding lifetime. All have the same in common: they are going further on their bikes than they would do normally, and having a whale of a time whilst doing it. It's also worth noting that they use a lower spec. model as hire bikes in Morzine; itself a proving ground for all things two-wheeled. They're not for everyone, (myself included) but they are doing a huge amount to get people out on bikes; which can't be a bad thing.
