    Lidl and Aldi purchases ?

    Lidl and Aldi purchases ? I am NOT a customer of these shops and never have been. Mainly because I have never seen one wherever I have lived and when I have occasionally (once in four years) been in they have been low quality. Whilst I would not shop there for my bike accessories on a regular...

    The Dealer Perspective "Customers who come in asking for mid-drives are usually experienced bicyclists who want an e-mountain bike or performance commuter," said Alex Dunn, general manager of Seattle E-Bike. "If they are asking about good warranties, light weight, serviceability, then we...

    Any who state otherwise have no realistic knowledge of the drives........................ The single largest advantage that mid-motors have over hub motors is their gear ratio. They allow the rider to power the rear wheel via the same chain and gear set as the pedals, which means that a low...

    Seeking Advice on Affordable Ebike for 20-Mile Daily Commute (£500-£600 = Budget)

    A difference riders can’t see, but will experience on a long ride – especially on hills – is that a bike with a mid-drive motor works synergistically with the bike’s gears for higher efficiency, which translates into longer riding range per charge. Like a car’s engine, electric motors like to...

    Seeking Advice on Affordable Ebike for 20-Mile Daily Commute (£500-£600 = Budget)

    What amazes me is the assumption that £600 is a lot, think about it You pay £600 Of that take off sellers (shop) commission, distribution costs, manufacturing costs, and you are left with a bike who's materials are worth about £150-200, so CHEAP plastic, low value metal, rim brakes, and worst...

    £500-600 good luck, the battery can cost that Also avoid HUB drives like Woosh where possible, remember they have NO gears attached, the motor simply speeds up and slows down, with mid drives you can still change the bikes gears as you do when riding, the motor does all the work where as MID...
