Ah, so you equate everything that's cheap with poor quality even though you have no first hand experience.
Very constructive (not).

That's fair enough and I'm certainly no ebike expert having just bought my first one but what i was implying was that you can't just rubbish something you haven't seen for yourself just because it's low priced (or from China).

Scobo
I think we got off on the wrong tack here.

No, I have not tried one of these bikes or seen one, tried one very similar which probably has the same motor/battery setup. It was heavy and almost impossible to pedal without power.

On the other hand spending a lot of money does not guarantee a good product, I know, I have made that mistake before

No worries Aldby.
Sure, it's probably lower spec than many other bikes but I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for their first bike and not wanting to spend a fortune.
I haven't had a bike since I was a teenager and wasn't sure if I would get it into it but I have partly due to the help and information available on this site.
I may well progress to a more expensive bike with better spec in the future (if the Mrs will let me).
Cheers,
Scott.

Scott

Personally, I would go for a good quality second hand bike as a first electric bike rather than splash out the cash straight away on an expensive new one. Possibly one the Mrs could ride too

I did have a look at the second hand bikes on ebay before buying brand new but the main problem was the vast majority of sales were pickup only and there weren't many for sale within a reasonable distance from me.
I guess ebikes haven't quite taken off in Scotland yet.
