    halfords ebikes freego raptor query

    Strange how someone can review a product, talk about ease of battery change, yet miss very basic attention to detail and finish.

    Reliable bikes for couple in mid 60s, realistic range of 40+ miles

    Chinapig, I might be able to help with one of the bike choices. I bought this bike last year for my wife, and she hasn't even sat on it! :( I've ridden it for approx. 200 miles, at which point the motor somehow lost it's software. A brand new motor is currently on it's way for the bike, and...

    Three of them certainly don't ride bikes. Jessica Lappin has nice legs though. .

    Free advertising, be it for a vacuum cleaner or an ebike.. :) I'd never heard of this brand of vacuum cleaner before this thread, but I have now. Perhaps they aren't so silly after all. .

    New Gtech ebike

    Everything else on it is XTR as well. :) It's sadly about two frame sizes too small for me though.

    New Gtech ebike

    So is that 14 days without spending a penny? Something that will appeal to you (and me now) is that I might have the opportunity to scrounge for free, an mtb that has a rohloff 14 speed hub fitted. A chance for me to start accumulating parts for a mid drive build. ;)

    New Gtech ebike

    I think that I might well have to investigate the chance of getting one to review. :) I can see the place for fast lightweight ebikes for cross town riding that sacrifice battery range in favour of weight, but I would also expect them to be able to complete a ride such as this short 18 mile one...

    Kudos Rapide gets 108 miles out of a 10.4 Ah battery.

    It's going to be interesting to see how the Woosh Karoo that I currently have for review will fair in all of this talk of mileage. First ride today https://www.strava.com/activities/508370131 17.9 miles, 1,485' of elevation gain, including this section...

    Kudos Rapide gets 108 miles out of a 10.4 Ah battery.

    To add to that, elevation gain and the average gradient over the length of the journey.

    Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro/Bosch CX 500wh

    I suspect that someone had confused final drive gearing with that of programming the wheel size/calibration in. :)

    If that were the case, then you wouldn't be able to run a rear cassette. You can run whatever sprocket sizes that you choose, front or rear.

    Bulls electric bikes

    Thanks flecc I already knew that, but was just wondering how it was to be considered good value, without knowing the price, or where it was being purchased. :)

    How much are they, and where from?

    Met a fellow electric biker

    footpump, don't forget that final drive gearing has a major part in a bikes hill climbing ability. With the correct gearing, I'm sure that your bike would climb equally as well, if you approached using a slow but consistent pace.
