Right then. I have received the bike and after a little fettling and some new parts supplied and fitted by Dom from Recoil Suspension, I am heading out for the first proper ride today.
New parts as follows.
Hope 35W wheel set
Ergon SMC3 saddle
Crank Bros Mallet E LS pedals
Spank Vibrocore bar...
Well I wouldn't bother buying another pair, even at half price. Plenty of options out there. In our office we use the phrase "standard reply number 1" which loosely translated means "go **** yourself".

I also suffer with numb hands when riding and have just switched to Spank Vibrocore bars and Ergon GA3 grips. They are really comfy and have made a huge...

I think that is such a bargain for the spec, and to celebrate I'm going to have a set of Hope 35W wheels and a new seat post! Once I get it muddy, the wife will never know!
Sylvia, it sounds like you thought about your choices very carefully.
I have seen one E bike specialist local to me who seem to specify that you need to have purchased your bike from them for and warranty work. Maybe there is a need for an independent E bike motor specialist like TF Tuned are...
