Flecc's advice on keeping the Giant Lafree Twist Lite series on the road following their discontinuation, and some money saving tips. There's also information on the remainder of the Lafree and Twist models in Europe and the USA in the form of a potted history.

With the launch of the Kalkhoff Agattu pedelec bike, designed in Germany and using the latest triple power mode long range version of the Panasonic motor unit, there's at last a moderately priced and even better replacement for the Lafree series in the UK, and from the button left you can access a full review and test that I've carried out on this bike. As with Giant and the Lafree previously, I have no commercial or financial connection with either the manufacturer or the supplier, 50cycles.com.
