Thank you everyone for your input, I have just bought a Byocycles City Speed 20 from Ebikes direct on 'sale'. I have to say I have only been out on it once and I am impressed with it. I don't have my cycle computer on it yet so I don't know how quick it is. But I have to say even in 6th gear I...

Ok, cheers for that, I will consider one of them then. :)

Yeah, I've just had a look on Tesco.com and they all look reasonable, the only problem is I cannot pedal all of the time so I would need a throttle for the motor to take over for a while and the 'Hopper Shoppers' are all Pedelec only. But it's good to see them being sold and promoted by a big...

Cheers, Dave, it is in my 'for consideration' pile. The Versatile looks good to for that price, too. It's a shame it's sold out.

Cheers Scott, I will check that out! :)

Thanks Tapash, I looked at the Volt Metro myself, but I'm on a very tight budget so I am trying to keep to less the £1000. But thanks for the comment, It is much appreciated.

Thank you OldBob1, much appreciated.

Thanks for that Scott, I appreciate it.

Could I please ask owners of folding ebikes, which one do you ride and what do you think of it? Thank you in advance.

I do have a bike at the moment but is a racing/dropped handle bar type. It's an old MBK, Super Mistral model, not really suitable for a 'Hub' style motor, and I'm not sure how the 'thumb' accelerator would work on dropped handle bars. ;).

Hey again NRG, thank you for clearing that up for me. Where I live is fairly flat with the odd road ducking under an old railway bridge. Unfortunately I am unemployed at the moment so I will not even be thinking about getting an ebike before getting a job, which is a shame because the bus...

Cheers willin', I appreciate your input.

Thank you for your reply but could you please expand on your reasons for not recommending the Cyclematic, your comment has got me intrigued. Regards and best wishes DereK

Yeah, I had noticed there is a lot of american stuff on ES, but the technical info is quite good. The same can be said about youtube, but there is also quite a lot of German stuff on there too. Unfortunately I am unemployed and living on Jobseekers allowance, so travelling places in not an...

Hey Paul, thank you for a prompt reply. I have been researching on youtube and will take a look at the endless sphere website as per your suggestion. Regards and best wishes, DereK

Hi aaannndddyyy, thank you you prompt reply. I am actually looking to build a commuter bike really, in the 15mph bracket you mentioned, I know that is the legal limit here. Everything else you mentioned I was hoping to get some guidance about from a good book, hence the plea for advice. The...

Hi everyone, I am interested in building my own ebike from scratch sometime in the future, but know very little about it. I have seen various books about Electric bicycles on Amazon.co.uk but I would rather get one that is recommended to me by someone who knows what they are talking about, that...
