Looking at your Pedelecs site / A to B / our Eurofriends sites.....has anyone any opinion as to the best value buck for buck for a 'leccy bike for £2000.00 or under (preferably well under)
Seems to me you can pay £5k or £6k for a USA job (where rules don't apply) or a Swiss Flyer for well over 2 grand.
But looking at the home market with our nanny state and Health and Safety Regs, we are restricted to 15 mph and 250 watts (may change) and a price range which reflects this to between £350 and the top end of 2K.
So is a Powacycle /Powabyke / Wisper / Kalkhoff etc. better value for money if you pay more?
Under this definition Kalkhoff are best, but each company has its gains and losses.
I like the look of the Powabyke X 24 but small battery / miles.
The Cytronex looks the business but don't fancy that switching system.
That Wisper 905 se is a real brute and would demolish my trip to work.
Kalkoff seem to have everything, but do I really want to pedal my guts out all day?......a bit of a throttle rest would be nice.
Don't own any 'leccy bike at the moment but this will be my retirement pressie (unless she fancies a cruise!)
