Hello all,
Im new to the forum and rather clueless when it comes to bikes. I have been looking for an electric bike for quite sometime, and I seem to be having trouble finding what it is I am looking for. I am after something mainly to use to blast around the woods next to my house in at weekends. By the looks of It I don't feel that a 250w is going to be enough, im after some real grunt and speed. I know this is all that is allowed legally on the roads, but I feel if I can find a bike with preferably around 500w that looks sort of like a normal bike then I will be fine. I have been looking at the Haibikes and the KTMs, but again they are only 250w, although I see that the Haibikes do a "tuning module" that at least takes the speed up to a supposed 30mph
I am 6 ft 1 and currently weight 19 stone so I need a bike and motor that can cope with that. I have upto around £5k to spend but would ideally like to spend around £2.5k.
So any recommendations are welcome, also if anyone knows of any bike shops that sell decent ebikes in or around Essex that would be great.
thanks
