    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Unfortunately I've browsed the whole Tesco website and there's nothing I want instead (to spend the 120 of vouchers on), so I've decided to get the points re-credited back onto my account and will wait until Christmas when they will hopefully do another double up! As for the bike, well I've...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Well.... predicted delivery date of 29th May has come and gone, and the bike still looks "in Stock" on the Tesco website so I gave them a call. It turns out my order is "partially past the point of no return". Which basically means they don't know where it is. After chasing a bit it seems that...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    The angle I'm looking at things from:- - Travel to Station via car = ~£1000 per year parking + (cost of an additional car, tax & insurance or hassle of timing usage of only car) - Additional Cost of Full Train+Underground ticket vs Just Train Ticket = ~£450 per year. Since I'm currently...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Not too late! - Exchanged my vouchers and have ordered one! - Provided it works well, it'll be a super bargain!... Cost around £280 after deducting £120 Tesco exchange vouchers, and will get £20 from 5% Quidco cash back, plus 560 club points... Just shame I missed out on the £10 off £75 spend...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    LOL Their website is broken, and can't do my voucher exchange online, phoned them up and they said they're having 'technical problems' and I'd need to go instore... Looks like I've saved myself from an impulse purchase for the time being...

    Haha, read point 4 on my previous post... The word bargain keeps getting to my head at the moment!

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Thanks I've seen it, and I'm 5' 8", but more importantly I'm worried that the battery on that can't be taken out without taking the seat off. (I'll probably mostly leave the bike locked at the station and take the battery with me - hence light battery!). I am as an alternative (non-folding)...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    I have £60 (can be exchanged doubled to 120) of Tesco vouchers spare which is making it more appealing... I assume that the battery can be removed without taking the seat off (some bikes I notice fall foul to that limitation!). Any idea how heavy the battery might be? - My current eBike has a...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Hi, did you have any further thoughts on it? For example was the battery heavy/big/removable easily? Did it seem reasonably well constructed?

    Harressment from Drivers?

    Hmm, I'll invest in a cam I think since they don't seem that cheap and mentioned on the thread here: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/electric-bicycles/8084-choosing-perfect-bike-camera-6.html

    Harressment from Drivers?

    Ever since cycling to and from the station (on an electric bike - which isn't noticably so). Just wearing work clothes/jacket, nothing out of the ordinary to attract any attention!. I've noticed maybe around once a week, I get either people coming up behind and then slowing down and either...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Hi, to clarify, I haven't bought it yet, and am still actually running a Decathlon e-Bike which is still going strong after a year. I'm looking at the Tesco one, since it means I can take it on the train (in theory) and then cycle at both ends of my journey rather than just at the one end...

    I didn't buy it, I was just posting reviews posted on the website. Though I'm tempted since I only need a range of under 5 miles from the Bike...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    Security of bikes...how nickable?

    Hmm, that's food for thought - I didn't think anyone would dare leave the electric bike with the battery in it!! - I've done the same as you gaffa taping the controller!... I wonder if that is indeed sufficient to allow me to leave the battery in place (I don't particularly want to carry it...

    Security of bikes...how nickable?

    I cycle to an outer London train station and leave my bike there all day. It's around 500 pound electric bike. I used two locks and take out the battery (and charge it at work :D), and leave it ready to go at home in the garage. This means that I don't have the faff in the morning of putting the...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    I see your point. I do have a (non-electric) Dahon Speed 7, which I've hardly ever used and in good condition. I'd possibly could get that converted if I could find someone/somewhere to do it at a reasonable price! - Unfortunately I have a feeling the conversion would cost a lot more than the...

    Tesco Folding Hopper 20" e-Bike

    LOL, maybe not quite half price or get one free, but at the moment, looking on quidco, it seems if you buy within next few days, you get £10 off plus 5% cashback, so works out just under £370....
