Hi
I've just this evening brought two old Powabykes off ebay as a pair for £175, just to see how we get on with electric bikes, and how much we actually use them, before I make a bigger investment. I've been testing them out tonight, so a couple of questions about what they might be, and a couple of things I've found.
Both look like the euro design, and both ride well, but need a bit of TLC. One is rear drive, red with a single gear and a band brake, and has a throttle and pedal assist.
Thanks

- Does anyone know what model this is, and what age it might be?
- What age/model might this be?
- It only has a throttle, not pedal assist as well - is that right?
- The throttle always picks up, but sometimes a delay, perhaps every 5th sharp opening if you snap it open - I've sprayed electrical contact spray and it seemed better, but is there any other simple thing to look at?
Thanks
