I've been thinking of buying an electric bike. I don't have a big budget so it would have to be a basic one. I am been looking at the Powacycle Salisbury and the Giant Twist Express. I've read a lot about the Powacycle but reports seem to be a bit contradictory about its hill-climbing ability. Some say it's fine, others that they have to get off and walk up a steep hill. I live in Edinburgh which his fairly hilly though my route to work isn't too bad.
I just wondered what people think about the two different bikes? I haven't tried either as there are no Powacycle stockists nearby.
I think the Giant is probably a better looking bike but is it really worth the extra £350?
The reviews in A to B don't seem to rave about it! But if people think it is an infinitely better bike then perhaps it would be worth paying the extra?
Decisions, decisions!
Any general advice/comments would be much appreciated.
