I've asked a few questions and will report back.

Oddly seller has a ladies version with battery for sale too. So maybe genuine reason ?

No mention of whether there's charger and keys included.

 

[KirstinS]

I asked if he/she had the old dead battery as i may be able to recell it. Just said he didnt have it

no charger for either bike - no explaination provided

double dodgy

 

[KirstinS]

did a bit of minor sleuthing. And look 2 x aggattu, one womans and one mens nicked in Bristol. Same place these are being sold. OP states he has chargers and keys

He has never been back to forum - perhaps a Moderator can email this to him ?

Yes, it was actually the step-thru I looked at then saw the same seller offering the gents' bike and I didn't like the sound of it all. Of course, it might be entirely kosher but these are not very old bikes and I always think 'STOLEN' any time I see an ebike on ebay without a battery.

Anybody lost one in recent times?

ps Your post just beat mine to press, Kirstin......good sleuthing Sir!

Has anyone sent a message to the oowee person,?

 

[Blew it]

If you send a private message to "oowee" he should get an automatic Email alert, unless he disabled the facility.

I have sent a quick message, assuming he/she will get an email.

No mention of whether there's charger and keys included.

Loads of people list without mentioning battery and charger. Sometimes I send them a message suggesting they need to list if available as failure to do so can suggest the bike is stolen. This often results in changes to the listing and even a few messages of thanks. Seems it just does not occur to many sellers if unprompted.

I asked the seller about charger. He responded:
"The previous owner was unaware where either of these items were (the battery and charger)".

It possible that this guy has purchased from whoever stole it, but it does seem most likely that its stolen.

 

[Alan Quay]

I only asked about the gents bike, but I notice in the description of the ladies bike that 'the battery is dead and needs recharging', implying the seller has no charger.

Definitely TWOCed.

 

[KirstinS]

I emailed them to - def no charger on both bikes . I asked for a serial numbe and got one too. Makes me think that if stolen prob not by this seller

"Hi,

I have removed the locking device on these bikes as the previous owner did not know where anything relating to the bikes was stored including the keys The serial number is for this bike is: 182097 0001
5800 4295 0608

It would be easy enough to secure the battery pack when unattended using a normal lock."
