Hi,

I am new to this site and ebikes so bear with me if i am being unrealistic

Looking for a half decent bike for about £350 that i can use to the train station and back. About 4 miles round trip.

I am in the Southend (Essex) area

Thanks

I would look second hand, but for this price not sure if you'll get anything decent / reliable. I do understand it's a train station bike, so you want cheap/unreliable vs good/expensive and it gets stolen.

Suppose Ebay and Gumtree to be your friend here but don`t expect too much at £350, i paid a lot more for a battery recently.

Would it be safe to leave it at the station or would it get nicked?

The OP hasn't told us why the need for an ebike for what appears to be a relatively short journey of 2 miles each way. I'm not going to be nosy & ask, but if I made the assumption that it isn't for medical reasons, I'd question whether an ebike is needed.

£350 would buy a decent bike secondhand with a decent spread of gears that would easily handle anything Essex could throw at him/her. Even a new bike at that price from Halfords would suffice, IMHO.

Easier to insure, as well.
