I saw that too eddieo on MHF.....then someone said they were'nt happy with them, well I have the windsor and I have found it pretty good especially at the price, I think they are as good as you can get in that price range and for makro's price you really cant go wrong.

someone else said this...

"Yes it is right. It's a Makro 40th birthday, one day special. However the Salisbury/Windsor ebikes are rated at 180w/24v with a consequent top speed of 12mph and are very underpowered compared to a 250w/36v machine. I returned mine last year (to Makro)"

the Salisbury/Windsor ebikes are rated at 180w/24v with a consequent top speed of 12mph

They were wrong though, this isn't true. The Salisbury/Windsor models switched from 180 watt brushed to 200 watt brushless motors years ago and their top assisted speed is 15 mph.

Seems like a "spoiler" posting by a rival, angry about the low price, e-bikes suffer a lot of this corrupt posting.
