  1. Posting here as there doesn't appear to be a Mecatecno section. Is @Andystill running the show?🤩

    I bought a Mecatecno T08 for my 4 year old grandson, it came from an auction (unseen, impulse buy!) and has cleaned up really well for an old bike. Replaced both levers, unseized the front forks and cleaned all the electrical connections ready for two new 9.0Ah batteries, which are on order. The only things I need now are a charger and I believe it might be missing a return spring for the front brake.

    Just wondering whether parts are interchangeable with other electric bikes, does anybody know. I can't find any information on the UK importer except that it used to be Caroline @sandifords and Mecatecno Spain haven't got back to my query.

    Any help, advice would be much appreciated...
    Brian.

  2. as far as I know, very limited supply

    And there you have it in a nutshell. There's no point pricing the bike low if they haven't got the capacity to make them fast enough to meet the demand. New bikes/models need tweaking once they are out there being used so they won't want to hold huge stocks of new bikes either.

    Setting the price high usually excludes the majority but the eager minority will always want to buy no matter what the price is (within reason, even with the economy on its a***). Build 250, sell 250, make a great fat profit on each and every one with no dead money sat in obsolete stock on dealer floors.

    It's a fine balance between supply and demand and setting the price just right is the tricky bit. Much easier to lower the price than increase it at a later date though ;)

    I bought a Beta Rev-4 when they first came out and paid approx.

  3. Was that the last time we rode together Kin'll dun't time fly, now tha's trimmed up a bit tha'll be ready to go again.

    Wow! May 2007 it was, almost 5 years ago now. Can't believe it's 3 years since I gave up smoking! That reminds me, is Andy still off the fags?

  4. The only Sheffield tickets G2F have ever sold were for the Dougie Lampkin hospitality and they stopped that a couple of years ago. Remember the first time we went? Jesus - how drunk afterwards? I seem to recall the night porter telling us we'd had enough at some ungodly hour in the morning... :beer:

    Was that the year Sharpy stayed as well? Me and Stu were last out of the bar if I remember rightly, I was ill for days afterwards! :barf:
