17 months as a member on Pedelecs & I have finally bought an electric bike!! As the title of this thread suggests, I opted for an Alien Special II. It's perhaps not the bike that I had dreamed of getting (Pro-connect, or Wisper), but all things considered I'm really happy with my decision & I can't wait for it to be delivered next week.
The main factors that influenced my purchase would be: The decent 21 inch frame size, the relatively good publicity & posts I've read on here over the past year & a half, the reasonably good spec, the Special II is also a neater looking bike than it's predecessor, the swift & informative response from the people at Alien & last but by no means least the £579 price tag - a very competitive price that wont break the bank & even if I were to change my mind in a few months / year I reckon I'd get a fair chunk of that back in resale.
That's about it really. I will post a review of the bike once I've spent a bit of time using it.
