Hi, I finally managed to decide... I've just bought a Lapierre Overvolt am500. I'm very excited it comes next Saturday. I assume this will attract lots of negative comments, but I'm going to ask anyway. Is there a dealer in the UK who can supply a derestriction dongle, or trick, to give support after 15.5mph? Thankyou. Dean

check this out... https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/lapierre/lapierre-overvolt-xc-500-electric-mountain-bike-51cm-frame any thoughts on lapierre? ive never seen one before. i read somewhere the bosch cx is good for about 28mph derestricted.

I nearly bought a 2018 haibike sduro hardseven 4.0. Got as far as checking out but hesitated. Don't know why. I am for some reason more happier to get a bosch performance motor than a yamaha pw se. Am I right in thinking the bosch is the better motor and also easier to derestrict?

thanks for the replies. i already have a cube acid mtb (2017) which ive taken to cannock a few times. im not a racer although i do like speed. i hired an emtb for 3 days recently while on holiday. it had the bosch performance motor with a 400 battery. flattened the hills nicely, made me giggle going up a hill i could never have got up. the problem i have is ive read so much my head hurts. if i dont act soon (either buying a new ebike or converting my existing one) i'll miss summer. if im not careful i'll make a quick, probably bad decision and do the wrong thing. the reason im asking what you guys would buy is because you all have the experience, including mistakes which i hope to avoid. hope that expands a bit. dean

i have a limit up to £2500. if u were buying what would u buy? is now the right time to buy one? thanks. dean

Hi guys, After hiring an ebike for 3 days in lanzarote a few weeks ago I'm itching to get on the ebike bandwagon, but not sure which road to take. I'm on the verge of buying a 2018 haibike 4.0 hardseven, but I cannot make my mind up whether it's the best bike in it's price range to get. Any better choices? I already have a 2017 cube acid which I'd love to convert but I don't want the possible pain that comes with diy install, i'm no mechanic. I'm being swayed towards the bosch performance motor because it can be de-restricted. I want to have fun not just plod. Thanks. Dean
