I bought a Greenedge Blackstar 2 about 10 months ago due to a slipped disc. I am now buying a moped and am looking to sell my much loved E bike. The bike has been brilliant and is very reliable and fast. It's in great condition, battery new when bought, and has recently been serviced by...

Fabtastic Thanks so much Flecc... That was a hoot to watch. I will go to the Electric Bike shop in Camden and try one out. The look is very similar to the Blackstar but I like the fact the battery is on the back and not so obvious that it's an electric bike ;-) Just need to try and sell...

Blackstar 11 Hi Bode, I started out with an ex demo Silverado bought from The Electric Bike Shop near Camden. I had problems with that bike (handlebars and problems with the battery) so I contacted Green Edge who were much more helpful than The Electric Bike shop. They changed my model for a...

Hi Bode, So good to hear from another Blackstar rider. What are your overall thoughts on the bike? Did you get it from Greenedge in Battersea?

I guess Notting Hill is the steepest.. from Ladbroke Grove.. I cycle about 6 miles a day in and around London. I also would love to take the bike to The New Forest which has a few steep hills. I know because when I was there with a normal mountain bike I had to push the bike up most of the hills LOL

Explaination Thanks for taking the time to explain. The hills are average.. My mechanic at Greenedge thinks what I call hills are just dimples LOL

Any shops in London? Hi Dave, Where would I go to try one out in London? Anita

Thanks David, I will need to surf the net to actually understand the difference between Hub and crank as, being a complete novice, I have no idea what your talking about LOL I have attached a link to my bike: Electric Bikes Is this a hub motor? ;-)

Yes sure...

Food For Thought Wow.. Thank you so much everyone. I will digest all the posts and get back to you. I guess when I say hilly I am being a wimp! Some experienced cyclists whizz past me on normal bikes and put me to shame LOL! I think my legs, since riding e bikes, have turned to jelly! I...

Hi, I am looking to buy a good electric bike to replace the Greenedge Blackstar 11 that I currently have. The Blackstar 11 is a great bike and has two speed choice, up to 15mph, and 6 gears but the downside is that it is heavy and also I have had a few problems with the electrics. After it's...
