Hi every reader of this if any So on my limited budget of around £1000 i wondered if or how many of you have experienced the bike in the title and what are your thoughts Good or Bad The reviews and you tube seem fairly positive and im looking for a reliable commute bike for fair weather riding.30 mile daily trip with or without assist as its not all Hills. It seems to offer a ready to go bike

Well it’s me again and unfortunately the test ride didn’t go to plan. The test ride bike looked lovely and it only had 4 miles on the clock so practically new. Got a quick briefing and a fully charged battery connected. Left the Halfords shop and went looking for some big hills and soon found them as I went up and down the various modes and I realised this Carera vengeance had big potential for my needs and then it bloody died on me . Love the bike but I cycled back as an analog biker who arrived covered in sweat and gave it back very disappointed. The guy said it had some fault code and another battery would sort it out but I said I appreciate your offer But first impression matters to me and it let me down.

Definitely plenty of hills and I understand that centre hub bikes are offering more punch on hills and a little more natural because of the unit being placed where the pedals are.

Yes my first idea was to get a bafang kit but I don’t think to run before I walk type of thing so plenty of test rides if I can get them Until I find what I feel is the best type of machine for my needs What ever I choose must be legal because I don’t need extra points on my license for a bloody bicycle. My budget isn’t bottomless and I believe I will prefer a mid drive unit but I know nothing yet This will be a workhorse primarily so it will except minimum 7000 miles per year I’m still excited and at the moment I still have a 650 Suzuki to ride

Well I have been doing plenty and I mean plenty of research but first of all Halfords don’t have a great selection of test bikes so I’m not going with the intention of buying and the area they are located is a mix of Bert steep medium steep and gentle hills so as a newer Ebiker I will certainly come away with a solid opinion of suntour. Woosh is a make or a dealer and do they do test ride I will check them after I have done my test ride. What bikes and bike shops have you tried before you purchased and what made you choose what ever it is you ride now

Hi Everyone my names Peter and I'm new to the world of E-bikes so Saturday 6 August i get to test ride my first E-bike ever with Halfords its a Carera vengeance and i get 6 hour free trial so I'm looking forward to that. I have been riding my Suzuki 650 motorcycle in to London for about 3 years but i don't enjoy it any more and i am hoping that what ever E-bike i decide to buy that it will give me the freedom i am looking for . I am 57 years old but in good condition i guess, so i want to add the 32 mile commute to my training program.
