We've had our Juicy Classic bikes for at least 4 years now - old age fogs the memory! I'm approaching my 80th birthday and J isn't telling! The bikes have proved a wonderful addition to our lives - we both have been cycling since we were 11. The bikes smooth out the hills and we just don't notice headwinds anymore. The bikes are durable and reliable - as has been the on-going care from Juicy Bikes. The 'Silly Grin' factor comes into this equation - it's an expression often seen on the faces of e-bikes and stems from the superb joy of riding a fine machine (other makes are available!)
I have to confess to grinning slightly at 24mph (downhill) dodging in and out of the speed bumps on my way home from the shops with a couple of newspapers and a packet of biscuits in the wicker basket..
The speed under power is limited to a quite adequate 15mph and even that surprises unpowered local cyclists. Try before you buy - Buxton is a fine town to test ride a bike.
