Purchased From: Oxygen Bicycles
Purchase Price: £849
Time Owned: 5 months
Local Terrain: Flat / Moderate Hills /
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths: very good range
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses: cheesy front brake
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: I was very confused if i should buy it at all as nobody knew anything about this company. I finally decided to buy it due to the sale ending for £849. The bike arrived and all I had to do was to put the handle bar and the front wheel. Unfortunately the front disc brake needed a lot of adjustment. Once I sorted that out I was very surprised. Apparently E-mate bike turned out to be very fast and what's most important with quite impressive range. I commute to work each way takes me one hour, that is approx 16 miles each way. When I come back home I still have about third of battery left. I must add that I pedal all the time and twist throttle to maximum in order to ride faster (always late ;-) ) Overall I'm very pleased with the bike and I think I got a good value bike. Definitely good choice for commuters as me.
p.s I used to have a Heinzmann Estelle before and the noise was just terrible, could not stand this out.

Overall Rating (out of 10) :
9 out of 10 ( due to nasty front brake)
