    Newbie interested in folding bikes

    I guess it's the old legal to buy but illegal to ride if derestricted by the owner. A bit like Halfords selling escooters in every branch, legal to buy and they'll argue if people use them illegally on the streets we cannot be held responsible in any way...true, but is it ethical? There are a...

    Hi Marina, Just seen some specs and a review on you gin x ebike. From what I can gather it looks like it's unrestricted and also has a throttle which can also be used to power the bike beyond 15mph, so as I like to ride street legal, I'll pass on the review.

    Would these be any good for occational use with Motorhome?

    You currently won't find a cheaper ebike. Take the batteries off when on the rack to reduce weight and deter thieves with a decent lock around both bikes and rack. 36v, 10ah batteries, so not bad, and a 40nm motor. remove the front rack etc to reduce weight further
