One e-scooter looks very much like another, sure there are good ones and average ones.

Staff we have chatted to there in the past seem to be keen cyclists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-328154 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:43:23 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 328154@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm - Edinburgh included</p> <p><a href="https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/news/11-cycle-republic-stores-to-be-taken-over-by-e-scooter-specialists-pure-electric-2373" rel="nofollow">https://ebiketips.road.cc/content/news/11-cycle-republic-stores-to-be-taken-over-by-e-scooter-specialists-pure-electric-2373</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-324806 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 20:26:53 +0000 chdot 324806@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“ whereas they acquired Tredz in May 2016“</p> <p>Ah </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-324801 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 19:58:32 +0000 steveo 324801@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just bought a bike from CR! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-324800 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 19:56:32 +0000 ejstubbs 324800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>AFAIK Cycle Republic was always a Halfords brand, whereas they acquired Tredz in May 2016. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-324792 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 19:02:56 +0000 chdot 324792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“Never realised Tredz was theirs”</p> <p>Me neither! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20143#post-324781 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 17:49:42 +0000 LaidBack 324781@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Never realised Tredz was theirs.
