Hi :)

Wanted to say hello :) Just been bought my C5 for Christmas (so obviously I have been good :)) and after looking for C5 things on google I was directed here.

Went out today and got lots of looks and people wanting to say hello and ask me all about my C5 (she will have a name when I can think of one). It's great fun and I can't wait for the dry weather so I can get out more....the only down side is I can't reach the peddals so have to rely totally on the battery :)

Hope I am okay to ask questions if I need to :)

Have a great New Year :)

Hi there Welcome to the Forum.
Regarding reaching the peddles  you could always put a pillow behind you and you could also put some wood blocks on the peddles ....

Any question go a head Questions any time most welcome
Bye Chas ....You can look at my videos on Youtube under JORDAN8ISH

Wow....didn't expect such quick replies :)

I don't have any photo's yet but I plan to take some soon and I will let you have a look then :)

I might have to look into what battery might be best to replace this one with as peddling might just be hard work changing it etc :) lol So any tips on which battery I would best to buy would be appreciated :)

Hi there not sure how big/small  you are but you should never press the starter button to start the C5  until you have peddled up to speed ...Unless you are going down hill ...You could damage the motor/gearbox

Bye Chas (any help you want just ask )

Then I would do what Chas (C5enthusiast+restorer) said to put wooden blocks on the peddle  :)

 Welcome- if you put wooden blocks on ya feet, people might think you are 'Shortround' from the Indiana Jones films- no offence- oh and Happy New Year.
