Lol, brilliant miss-type

Well I had a go on my friends that he got from Halfords and it is the Pendleton Somerby, he bought it last April for £650, so I guess the 'Was £750' was sometime ago. The weather today wasn't good, so it was a very short ride, I found the bike too easy to ride when I set off and soon went up a...

The eco expedition looks like a 'Traditional bike /racing bike' not that I'm too concerned with looks, 21 gears means that I might use less battery and therefore go further, mind you I don't use half the gears I have on my normal bike and I have 18 on that, I guess Halfords Pendleton 8 gears...

A friend of mine bought 2 electric bikes from Halfords, 1 for himself and 1 for his wife, very similar to the one I'm looking at. He had a lot of problems with his one, so it has handy that he could return it to Clacton (6 Miles away) to get it fixed. He's said that I can have a try on it, so...

Thanks Wicky, I've been to the one up Connaught, they don't do second hand and new they want over £1000, so well out of my budget. I quite fancy a ride to Dovercourt, that's about 14 miles each way, I couldn't do that on my normal bike, maybe with a lot of training and exercise, but an electric...

I had a look at the Karoo, nice looking bike, even the cheaper one (£899) is outside my budget, but as you say, more powerful battery, I couldn't see anything about the motor wattage

Woosh is a about 1 1/2 hrs by car, so not too bad, just had a look on their website including second hand, seems a bit expensive to me, but I guess your getting better quality

Thanks Neath for both replies. 10% will make a nice difference. I did notice that ebikes also sell the viking bike, more expensive...

Hi Guys, Looking to buy a cheap electric bike, I did think about buying something cheap from ebay, the problem with that is that I'll probably end up buying a battery for it and that just bumps up the price, so I'd thought I'd ask oppinion on a few Groupon are currently doing one at £499...

Wow, Thanks for looking at all of that, I'm not very mechanical, so I'll give it a miss, if it was straight forward maybe, but thanks for taking the time to investigate Steve

Thanks Flecc I'll save my pennies :)

Hi Guys, I've just seen on ebay a Claud Butler Electric bike being sold for spares or repair £150:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Claud-butler-electric-bike/332490462640?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Details Claud butler electric bike 36v lithium iron battery...

Good Idea Wicky, In the past I've found the shop to be expensive, but that's probably because it's inside the gates, but well worth a look. Thanks

Yeah the battery seems a little low '24v 6.6AH', Range per charge:About 20Km Speed gears:Single gears Motor:250W Brushless hub motor

I've just seen https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075CJFXMQ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2OSQ06MYIYP4P&colid=MLRTT3P3KHTR&psc=0 £380 seems a bargain. Is this a ladies bike or are they Unisex these days?
