Also of concern to me is this video says the brakes have been switched so he crashed. I've always pulled the right brake a fraction quicker than the left since a child and I'm not young, so I'm not sure a switched braking system would work for me. Thoughts? HEre is the video

Thanks for this LazyElectricMan. Did I read that this folding ebike can't cope with getting wet? Or am I confused. (I've read so much my head is spining).

What did you buy in the end Daddio70. I have a similar commute distance to you (a bit further but not much) with uphill a bit on way there but long slog of incline that goes on and on on way home.

I'm not super fit though. I have several chronic illnesses so are you super fit? I'm just trying to compare. I'm really grateful for your input.

Oh I've just asked a similar kind of question to you, then read this. You might want to see the post I just made as to the bike I had and what I'm looking at now. I also live in a hilly area. The thing with Batavus is their motors were made for flat terrain. Things might have changed since I...

Hello all, I reappear like a bad Penny...jokes aside....I still haven't bought a replacement E bike since my Gepida Reptilla battery and bike died. I live in a hilly area and use a sit up a beg style bike. I have seen a good price online for a bike that is a rear hub motor and I'm concerned...

Ah yes, is that what it is called, the pedal assist? Thanks! Yes I like to pedal and get assistance when I need it. Not keen on a throttle unless I have to have one because it ticks all the other boxes. Regarding the new Rambla, is that a make of motor or a new bike? Sorry to be confused...

I couldn't find the Gepida - I know after I bought mine they brought out another Reptila with a battery on the back rack (mine is an upright one on the seat post ish area). I also need to know where and who will repair my bike. I went to a normal bike shop, they dropped it as it was so heavy...

Thanks very much. Really helpful.

Woosh, I replied above but can't seem to edit it to add this question to my two questions above. It has a rear hub motor? I want a motor by the crank for hill climbing....? Confused.

Good point. Would depend on the stretch. I've got a difficult body with ooohs and aaaahs all over it and they aren't positive noises. Thanks for your input.

Hi Flecc, great minds and all that! Thanks for the welcome back. Penny

Thanks Woosh, the Santana looks good. Is the motor in the crank? Can the battery be charged separate to the bike, indoors? The other one looks like hidden battery and I don't want that. I want to take my battery indoors to charge. Many thanks, Penny

Has this been discussed before? Thanks, Penny

Hello, I haven't posted for few years. My Hungarian electric bike has been slowly getting old with bits falling off it. Then I became long-term ill. The first year I powered up the battery every month. The second year I kept forgetting and....yep, it died. No point getting a new battery as was...
