Reviewer: Ross Phillips
Purchased From:
Adventure Cycles, Guernsey
Purchase Price:
£778
Time Owned:
3 Weeks
Local Terrain:

Some Minor Hills
Strengths:
This bike is an excellent hillclimber, even the steepest hills can be riden up with minimal effort. Plenty of power.
 
Handy battery indicator on top of frame lets you know how much juice is left in the battery.
 
Robust build quality. Built like a tank ! but weighs in like one !.
 
Price - A bargain for the price, there are electric bikes which cost alot more than this one.
 
24 gears - might sound excessive but you will need them if you want good downhill speed ( I found with the 6 speed Powabyke Euro my legs were going like the clappers downhill to get up any speed ! ). Also low gears great for steep hills.

Weaknesses:
One of the heaviest electric bikes. This might be an issue if you have to carry it at anytime.
 
Not the fastest bike for acceleration.
 
No front suspension.

Summary:
An all round excellent bike with plenty of power. Ideal for people who have to tackle minor to moderate hills on a regular basis.
 
Great value for money.

Overall Rating:
(8/10)
