Two bikes!
I couldn't possibly survive on two bikes!
Planning on slimming to four! Git, The CT200, XL350, and the XL1200c.

Re: If you could only have a small bike and one more...?
I do need to cut down with a house move pending in the next few years.
I’ll keep the Sterling and the diesel Enfield and then the CT200 or the Modenas (prob. The Modenas as the CT is a little too cramped with the single seat).
I was going to replace the Velosoex’s with a couple of electric bicycles, but the Velosolex perform much better and have infinite range; also we have a growing local community with lots of ride outs and invites to the international events.

Currently contemplating that with Mrs Capitano's Ludix. She hasn't ridden it herself for over 18 months.Diesel Dave wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 10:55 amI was going to replace the Velosoex’s with a couple of electric bicycles

That said, I only kept the FXD just over 2 years. I've had the W800 7 years now and if I'm honest it's a much better bike for what I need.
2 bikes is optimal for me. The number of bicycles I have continues to grow, though.

Re: If you could only have a small bike and one more...?
I love my electric bike.Sails along at 15-16 mph.Ideal for popping into town and makes climbing hills a doddle.
I forgot to put the PAS ( pedal assist sensor )on so it works like a twist a go from the off.
Battery life claims to be 30 miles,but I think it's more like 15.

For a cheap-as-chips offering these ought to be cr@p, but I've tried one and they blatantly aren't.richie the 1st wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 4:27 pmKeep thinking that my self,would have to be fold up one though ,so it goes it to the back of the car.Capitano wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 1:00 pmCurrently contemplating that with Mrs Capitano's Ludix.

Re: If you could only have a small bike and one more...?
Mine only has a PAS and a well-used 24V battery. It's down to around 12 - 15 miles, which is enough for what I want.JohnS wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2018 8:39 amI love my electric bike.Sails along at 15-16 mph.Ideal for popping into town and makes climbing hills a doddle.
