Got one of these as a replacements for my old stolen bike and It's just very average. My old one was a cheapish build from gumtree which went like the wind, this charge plug 'racer' is on what seems to be a really difficukt ratio. I had the back cog changed to an 18 which now makes the ratio 42:18 but its still like riding through treacle up even slight hills. And there is a very minimal amount of 'kick' to the bike, no matter how much you peddle it seems impossible to really pull away and the bike just slows to a halt within seconds. Will I have to change the sigano cranket which came with it to improve the aspects I am talking about?
