New bike advice

[Glynn]

Hi i am thinking of buying a electric bike as i am finding my old mountain bike a little hard riding up hills and would like to ask for any tips in picking my new bike. I live in the south wales valleys so i need a bike thats good on hills.
I am 6 foot 3 inches so i need a fairly big bike.
I will mostly use bike for leisure and i would like one that rides good without the electric power assist.
I am looking at the powacycle salisbury or if worth the extra the ezee torq but i realy like the look of the agattu kalkhoff.
Are any of these bikes ok on semi rough roads.
Thanks for reading and any help would be most welcome Glynn.

Hi Glynn,

I see your posting was last January, I wonder if you have now purchased your ebike?

I have just bought a Powacycle Lynx see link Lynx LPX Electric Folding Bike , so far very pleased with it.

If you live in a very hilly area, I would recommend a motor of at least 200 watts, 36 volt system and a li-poly battery. I have found the 180 watt 26 volt system coupled with the li-pol battery, will give enough assistance on hills for me to pedal right up them.

You might also consider the chain drive models rather than an integral hub, some chain drive models, I read - will allow the use of your gears, this would improve hill climbing ability.

Regards Terry

Any news on when the Infineum is going to get into the shops?

I emailed PowaCycle yesterday as I too am waiting on this bike so I can compare it to the Wisper 905. The response I got said it was due for release late November.
