PowaByke 6 Speed Eurobike Owner Reviews


Current Rating: 8 / 10
Reviewers: 1


Reviewer: Michael Wilkinson
Purchased From:
Jobes, Hull
Purchase Price:
£620
Time Owned:
4 months
Local Terrain:

Some Minor Hills
Strengths:
Well established dealer network
Long range with cheap lead acid batteries
Strong powerful motor
Large capacity battery
Not expensive at just over £600 with lead acid battery
Will tow trailer without struggle
Finish may not be up to £1000+ machines but very good for price

Weaknesses:
I could do with throttle on left side as its throttle only control even in pedal mode, so you loose power when giving hand signals.
It's considered heavy but i don't find this a problem It seems noisy from motor but I think this is noticed by the rider mostly, I would have liked front suspension.

Summary:
I consider it to be very good value for money not the lightest, or the most speedy, but it goes a long way on one charge and will tow a trailer with 25kg in with out me having to put any more effort in.
I am 13stone pretty unfit and lazy when it comes to pedalling but i have had 25 miles out of one charge with no sign of power running out.

Overall Rating:
(8/10)
