My wife and I are considering buying a pair of electric bikes. We are looking at the PowaCycle range - Salisbury and Windsor
Both are available with either a LPX Li-Pol battery 26v 10.5Ah = 273 Watt hours giving 27 - 37 miles @ £599 (plus £199 for a spare battery)
or alternatively
with a NiMH batttery 24v 8Ah = 192 Watt hours giving 18 - 25 miles @ £499 (plus £99 for a spare battery)
Having read some comments about the relative benefits of each type of battery we are now totally confused and really don't know which to go for! Our thoughts are that if no battery is going to last that long anyway perhaps we should go for the cheaper NiMH one, however we are willing to be convinced either way if any one can point us in the right direction please?
