NOTE I haven't bought one yet and am still undecided(!)
Finally a couple of reviews both 4/5 rated... (Not my reviews!)
Buy Hopper 20" folding E bike from our Electric Bikes range - Tesco.com
---------------
Just received this bike today arrived with box broken but all seems ok,
first impression is it works very well supplied with a smaller battery than I would of liked this being 5ah 24 volt lithium Ion Battery, I am yet to use it on a long run but it seems very lively and works very well to try right out of the box but only to test it a little, better to give it a good charge first I think.
This bike seems to have only two modes of power pedal as normal or pedal assist but you can adjust the power level on the controller options which include low medium or high, you will not be able to use the moter power only as far as I can see so, light pedalling is required to keep the moter going .
It comes with three keys which you must use one of them to turn it on which took me a while to work out as the manual say's very little about the operation of the bike I was looking for a switch.
Although the bike is heavy compared to a normal folding bike at 20kg
this is quite light for an electric bike as most are above 20kg.
The bike rides very well and feels well made it is easy to fold but would recommend getting some velcro to hold it together when you lift it to put in car maybe.
It also comes with front and rear lights which was a nice surprise.
May write another review when I have tried it on a long run.
For the price I am more than happy with the bike up to now. I bought it using Tesco Exchange Vouchers which saved me a lot of money.
Delivery was only £3 on line at time of purchase.

My first e-bike, so I was really pleased about the price.
Pros:
-One of the cheapest e-bikes on the market. Seriously, I couldn't find one cheaper. Make sure you google Tesco codes before you buy as I got £10 off for spending over £75
-Easy to get on and off
-All the pros of an e-bike. It's fun to ride and makes hills bearable!
-Comes with lights, mudguards, etc.
-It folds
-I like the colour
Cons:
-It's extremely heavy. The battery and the bike. But I chalk this up to getting a cheaper bike. I'm sure if I was willing to pay £3,000 for an e-bike it would be light as a feather. This was less that £400.
-Directions are clearly written by a non-native English speaker and that makes them a bit difficult to follow. But the bike comes virtually pre-assembled. You just have to put the seat on, which the directions don't tell you how to do, but it's not rocket science.
-Shipped via Citilink. They're kind of crummy. They made a delivery attempt when we weren't home and left a card in the door, but the card was completely blank. Not one bit of pen on it. So we thought it was just rubbish or maybe our neighbours and the man accidentally put two in and the first had the writing on it? So we ignored it for a few days before realising that it was actually the bike. Again, non-native English speakers on the phone lines of Citilink, so you have that conversational hurdle when trying to find out what's going on.
Overall, I am incredibly pleased. If you're looking for your first e-bike and you don't want to spend the equivalent of a car on it, I'd say go for the Hopper!
