Hi all,

You may have seen this on ebay:

Burische for sale on Ebay not official?

I think its a fraud - I called Ryan (the guy who owns Burische and who I bought my Burische off) and he says its nothing to do with him - its copy and pasted from the original advert - and it has his telephone number on it.

The sellor also has this for sale:

BURISCH Synergy GT250 MEDIUM Ebike e-bike pedelec electric bicycle | eBay

A stealth bomber thing. I doubt that is legit either. They have zero feedback.

Anybody think any different?

At those prices of course I was tempted - but my money is staying in my wallet right now.

STOP PRESS.

Worry not people - both items have been removed.

I thought it was too good to be true - and you know what they say about deals that look too good to be true...............

The ad for that link was not legit. It was on a one-day no reserve auction (always a dead give away) and a price of £300 with about 8 bidders with about 10 hours to go. Ebay took it down.

Shocks! too late i knew i should of bid between £8000-9000.01
By the way OxygenJames where can i get the chance to test ride one of the STEALTH bikes? I suppose you also need to put down a deposit of 5000 grand even before turning the key on the battery.

Hi mountain
I know the guy who owns the company in oz . And one of my good friends is his test pilot.
Quite a few places to test one of these , for me the fighter is more bike like and nimble.
Not sure where you live but escape bikes has demo units to test ride along with a few other uk companies.
A final note , to class this as a pedelec is like saying a hayabusa is a moped.
If you buy would suggest you do not review on here :)))))))

Don't know on that one - sorry. Seems a lot of money to spend on something that you could only use off-road - might as well get a motorbike.

If you need a contact in the south farnborough area , pm me
Hi Cakey,

Cheers for that one i might pm you for those details. Tell you what Cakey i am so scared, because the type of person i am is that i have no self control, i guarantee you that if i TRY i may just BUY and i mean that. The down side to this is that 97 percent of my riding is done on public roads, but then again you never know the power of "I WANT I WANT".
And by the way i'm a true Londoner.
