Kudos have for sale a couple of interesting bikes,we are currently clearing our test and/or ex demo bikes.
Bike 1 is a 20" direct drive,lithium battery e-bike. This bike is similar to the bikes bought 20 million a year and used by 100 million Chinese to get to work. These bikes are simply engineered,robust,they are actually quite fast when they get going. The bike will have a low reserve.
Bike 2 is one of our Kudos Cobra bikes used as a demo bike,it has some minor scratches....the Cobra is a well proven e-bike,uses the most popular components,ideal as a first e-bike. The bike will have a low reserve.
Both on the e-bay shop of 'rally-design'
Hope you are lucky.

Just to let you know that both the Cobra bikes on ebay listed by rally-design, this one and the full price one, have 'hydraulic discs' stated in the item specifics, whilst in the individual descriptions both have 'mechanical discs' correctly mentioned.
Not nit picking - just hopefully being helpful and saving any embarasment.

Tony,you are quite correct,apologies,it does list the correct description further down on the full specification....that is 'Jak 5,mechanical disc brakes'
I will get it corrected on Monday,thank you for pointing out the error.

The cheap Chinese bike has passed its reserve at £190.00 with only a day left. Also on e-bay are the prototype Eiger,an ex demo Cobra and a really low reserve Konson step thru....some real bargains there,chance to pick up some inexpensive lightly used bikes.
All on the Rally Design e-bay shop.

We have loaded the second of the chinese direct drive bikes onto the Rally Design e-bay shop. This bike is almost new,it has done very few miles.
I think the black colour with silver mudguards looks very smart. It also includes a carry basket,comfy saddle and pannier seat.
Great for going to the shops or work.
THese direct drive bikes are quite fast once they build up speed.
Priced at a low reserve,good luck.

I never understood why bikes like this one are not more popular. They are cheap to buy and cheap to run. These motors run and run, they never die. The torque can be on the low side but once they pick up some speed, they can easily maintain 15mph. The only thing wrong with them besides their hefty weight is their single speed freewheel. If you need more torque and speed, just upgrade the LED, controller and battery to 48V.

Rear passenger seat -niiice. In Holland men women and children just sit on the pannier rack!* Of course the supposed 100kg total rider weight might mean we're talking about some very lightweight passengers.

*Or any other surfaces, human or otherwise

The last of our cheapie Chinese bikes to be loaded onto e-bay,this one in white,both the previous bikes sold close to the low reserve,opportunity to join the e-bike world at very low cost.
Also listed is a 29er,built using the TCM crank drive motor,this was a test bike used to compare hub drive and crank drive on the Kudos Escape bike,has reached its reserve.
Good luck.
