Well my Aerobike X Ride arrived on Friday and I've now just finished my 4th outing on it. I've got to say I'm impressed with it. It's my first ebike and so I've got nothing to compare it to but I am very pleased with my purchase. The battery seems to last forever, I've done well over 30 miles and its still showing a half charge ! I don't want to risk running out of charge so will charge it up again tonight. After getting a wet backside this evening I'm going to purchase the mudguards but all in all its difficult to fault - especially for the money. I've taken some stick at the office for cheating but this is from people that drive into work - the irony !

I think this one seems OK ? https://www.aero-bike.co.uk/14-day-trial

After lots of thought I ended up going for the Aero bike, its a lot cheaper and there is a 14 day trial offer so I don't think I can really lose. It arrives Friday and I cannot wait to give it a go. I will let you know how I get on

Thnak Thanks, that's a good point !

Thanks for all the help and advice. I'm only doing a 20 mile round journey commute on the bike and so I'm not sure the size of the battery will be an issue . The Aero bike having two gears is an advantage over the Gtech and so I think its a choice between the Aero or the Karroo.

Thanks loads for the input. I'm 11 stone so hopefully weight won't be an issue. Unfortunately I don't have an existing bike to fit a kit onto. I prefer the look of the Gtech / Aerobike / Carrera cross fire to the Big Bear. I don't really want to stretch to £1,100 for the Carrera. Is there anything wrong with the Gtech or the Aerobike ? Both seem to be able to handle the distance I need to travel with some margin left.

Thanks . I'll check the crossfire out

Hi, I'm new to the forum so sorry to be asking for help straight off ! I could really do with some help on choosing an ebike. I've got a 20 mile commute which I'm now looking to do by bike though not as fit as I used to be hence looking at an ebike. I'm looking for a 20" frame and ideally a bike that looks as close as possible to a normal mountain bike. I really don't want to spend more than £1K unless I absolutely have to. I've been looking at the Gtech bike www.gtech.co.uk/ebike £999 , the Aerobike www.aero-bike.co.uk £799 and the Oxygen S Cross form Ebikes ( a bit over my budget at £1,200). Any advice on my short list or any other bikes you think I should look at ? Many Thanks Duffryn
