Hi,

I'm looking for something like below..

Would be perfect if it had a Dvsa twist throttle.

Does anyone know of a bike with below, similar to above with:-

Cheers

MiRider bikes have what they call a boost button, which causes the motor to give power as long as the pedals are turning, so that you can air pedal with no effort.

The only bikes with type approved legal throttles are Wisper and Pedibal. There's also this one, which is more like a 15 mph moped:

Wisper are the default brand we recommend if one wants a legal SVA twist & go bike. Wisper CS is good and the owner has a presence on the forum often posting and answering to posts.
Though there isn't a belt drive in the line up.

For Pedibal we don't know how good their CS is as no feed back or users .
They do though have the explorer belt drive CF.

Cheers guys, I had seen those two.. just thought I,d check with your knowledge base, incase there was some others.
When looking for an ebike, be careful not to over-specify. They all work, they all go 15.5 mph with the motor, and the cheapest and simplest are often the most reliable. As a general rule, you should avoid any bike that has special features, especially unusual batteries, because those things disappear as fast as they came, leaving you with an unserviceable ebike after a few years or sooner. Hill-climbing tends not to be a problem for bikes with 20" wheels or smaller, so a crank-motor is an unnecessary complication.
