I have the opportunity of buying a Lafree for £200.
Its in mint condition and bought from new from an eldery lady and hardy used.
She states its 6 years old.
Its a 4 speed nexus hub and its with a panasonic charger and shes states that battery still gives 20 miles.
Ive already checked a replacement battery from Giant and it will be £250.
Im buying it for my Wife, who will use it occasionally when we go away camping.


Any advice would be appreciated.
Is the price fair?

Regards Bob.

IMHO it's more than fair, it's cheap.

Grab it quick

The price is fair. That 20 miles claim from it's 6.5 Ah NiMh battery seems as bit far fetched after 6 years, that was as much as it could give when brand new. At nearly five years old my original Lafree battery only gave me 8 miles. However, even at £450 with a new battery it's not too bad, since that model was just over £1000 new.
