@bigbee - what's the expected release date?

Aha, found how to display images inline... only works if you're logged in though (grrr)!

@bigbee on another thread kindly sent me preview pics of his firm's new model of centrally-cranked electric folder. I have therefore offered to post up the images. I'll let bigbee write up the specification :D

Hi @mrthaggar, I am in the market for an e-bike of some kind, but am new so considering a number of options. I am erring towards an e-folder but a number of sources warn against them, citing ride quality and limited range issues. The Oxygen is a lovely looking machine, and would be better...

Ah, I understand now... not a "Freerider Central"; a bike called a "Freerider", which is centrally cranked :D All this techie talk is making my head spin :confused:

Thanks for that - do you have that view because a powered rear wheel feels more stable? Would you say that is still the case in slippery conditions, given that I want to ride in all weather conditions?

I'll do that, thanks. Tried a web search on "Freerider Central" though and came up with nada - brand new brand?

Sunlova got back to me, and said that they have a demo of their non-folding mountain e-bike. Which isn't much help if I am looking specifically at the folder! I suggested they join this forum, but they didn't respond to that point. I suspect therefore, as per my last message, they are quite...

@gordonal - yes agreed. I will start compiling a shortlist of bikes I'd like to see. @tangent - many thanks. I'd read your post before, but now that you bring it to my attention I've read it again, properly this time! I am 6'1" (around 12st) and so wonder if, like you, I would find this bike...

Thanks @gordonal. Only problem there is that they do seem very expensive - they're looking for £1200 for a Wisper that is elsewhere available for £900. However it looks like they got the code wrong (805fe rather than 806fe) and the voltage (36 rather than 26), so perhaps it's another bike...

No longer required - now the proud owner of a Juicy Sport Original :) I recently started a discussion about getting a good e-folder for around £750. From an aesthetic perspective - perhaps not the best way to judge a bike! - I currently rather like models from Wisper, Urban Mover and Sunlova...

On a general note, I should be interested to know whether the cheaper bikes (Sunlova et al) can be upgraded using standard (but higher quality) components by taking it into a good local repair shop and getting them to replace them (or, of course, learning it to do it oneself!). Presumably such...

Thank you all, it's great to get a range of recommendations and opinions. Looks like I have more research to do ;) Mark, I hear you on the quoted range of e-bikes; I am entirely new to this, but I can imagine that one or two might be inclined to 'tweak' some of the stats! I have seen it...

Edit: No longer in the market - now the proud owner of a Juicy Sport. No reply from my answer anyway - presume the bike is now sold? :) Hi I am a new user here, and this is one of the models I am interested in. Is your bike still available for sale? If it is still available, if you could post...

Ah, that would make more sense :D OK, I appreciate that a throttle is 'twist and go', but does this mean I can 'get less help' from the motor, and so increase the range of the battery?

Cheers JB. I do rather like the spec of the Urban20, and I notice it has front shocks too. Do these make a good difference to the ride quality? Does the 'throttle assist' mean that the rider can choose the level of assistance, rather than having it either off or on? I see that the Urban20 has...

Ooh, splendid, thanks OMB... hadn't seen that one on my research travels yet. Design and finish looks rather like the Electrobike (large pic) et al though if you've not heard many fault reports, that's something. The power/range of this category of machine does seem only to be otherwise...

Hi all Brand new user here, wondering if one or two folks might chip in with some advice. I'm presently a car user, but as of September I will be working from home (or occasionally from an office a few miles away). Accordingly I guess it's about time I got rid of the car for environmental...
