parts wise bar batt and motor are rubbish like a 150 quid bike from halfords.

spend a bit more and can get a hard tail cube with a bosch motor.

hi newboater, I too fancied a batribike storm , I went for a test ride and really liked it. very comfortable with the full suspension. not a true off roader with the hub motor and the basic suspension but very comfortable for green laning and road . At the time they were £1600 and I felt it was too much but they are now £1299 probably ok value. You could as soundwave said probably build something similar cheaper but at least with the storm you have a full warranty on everything The 21 inch frame suited my 6' 1" very nicely. If you fancy it go for it . I think it is a nice bike and as far as I am aware batribike have a good name. just my opinion. Regards
