My housemate has a Batribike Breeze & loves it :-)

Lol maybe subconsciously! Can't fault Cyclotricity, this bike has been a godsend & its so much fun to ride - I won't give up on it just yet, I thought taking it to a mechanic that sells them was a good move. Apparently not if they're just going to spin me a yarn on how knackered it is!

Getting second opinion today from someone I actually trust!

Methinks mechanic possibly taking the proverbial... Will be taking poor bike to decent shop tomorrow & having that crank replaced. Because it needs a replacement battery before winter, I'm still likely to take the plunge & get a more robust machine, so do please keep the suggestions coming, they're much appreciated :-)

£1500 max, but it really needs to be the last time I buy one! Third time lucky eh? First one was an utter disaster! I guess 10p a mile isn't that bad, plus I'm likely to get another week or two out of it before I stop faffing about what to replace it with! I'm just miserable about it's demise :-(

Circa 5000.... Another cheap one isn't an option!

Thanks, that's really helpful! You are so right. I have resigned both myself and my overdraft to this sad fact!

You misunderstand, there's nothing wrong with the sensor, the crank has movement in it and thus the sensor goes out of alignment on pedalling, so the motor cuts out. The bike has been to the local mechanic (who also sells these now, so is familiar with them) and it's diagnosis is poor. Pretty much everything that can wear out has, including the motor...

Service was actually pretty awesome! Asked questions via email before purchase, all were answered promptly & thoroughly. Bought it direct, it arrived in two days! Absolutely loved it before it wore out! Fast, responsive, great to handle.

Anyone got one? Likes/dislikes?

Two years ago I bought myself a Cyclotricity Revolver to use on a daily 9 mile commute up to my horses' yard and back. It has been regularly serviced & looked after, but started to fall to bits about 6 months ago. It's latest issue is the motor cutting out because the pedal sensor cant stay aligned due to a wobbly crank. The mechanic who looked at it also mentioned the bearings in my motor are on their last legs. I really thought £650 would get me more than 18 months but hey ho, we live and learn! Suffice to say I won't be buying another... So, whilst the Revolver does still work if I continuously hold down the thumb throttle as I pedal, I am now on the hunt for a new machine. It needs to be an mtb, have at least a 36v 10ah battery (bottle style), decent gears, good quality disc brakes & front suspension. Having read a bit about them, I'd prefer it *didn't* have a torque sensor. It also needs to last longer than 18 months.... Any ideas??

Been reading the forum since I got my first ebike in 2011, thought I should join properly and say hi :-)

Hi, how long have you had it & how many miles has it done?
