    QWIC MA11 vs Stromer T5

    Are electric bikes usually as difficult to get repaired as cars? I was hoping that at this price point that breaking down wasn't something to worry about too much. I work in IT and building bicycles is not something I have experience in . What can I buy that is decent for £1,500? Both of these...

    QWIC MA11 vs Stromer T5

    Electric Bicycle for Deliveroo

    That is great to hear, thank you for that. The importance to me is being able to go uphill easily. I think I will gave to accept that I’m not going to get the same range from a pedelec as I would from a small car or moped. I have some thinking to do

    Electric Bicycle for Deliveroo

    Thank you for your reply @flecc perhaps I need to manage my expectations a little better. I am not sure which one to for go now. The Stromer does look very fancy and powerful but if I can't use it legally then I am stuck. The KibeBike that @soundwave suggested with a Bafang motor looks good...

I didn’t mention it so not to complicate my post further, but I do not drive and will be interested in maybe using the bicycle to travel long-ish distances (20 to 40 miles) to visit friends and run errands of my own when not...

    Electric Bicycle for Deliveroo

    No we do not. They provide us with basic insurance. Although anyone delivering in a car or motor bike has to show proof of Hire and Reward insurance. Anyone on any type of e-bike is exempt in their eyes.

    Hello everyone, my first post on this forum! I have been interested in cycling for a while but never taken it seriously. I used to work for Deliveroo a few nights a week on my mountain bike. I am looking to get back into it with an electric bicycle to help with hills. I have had a look around...
