Both of our bikes are good for 50 miles on the flat or 40 on uneven terrain. To be honest that is as far as we go in a day, so not too worried there. Do fast chargers make a big difference? My Bosch charges in about 3 hours.

I am serious about it. I have narrowed the tent options down and was talking to my touring partner (the wife) about it earlier. She reckons we should just take an ehu lead and pay for power.

Then it becomes a faff.

I didn't realise you could get them with a lead that short. It would mean the bikes or battery at least would have to be charged close to the outlet post which could be a problem in the wet.

I was wondering if any of you do bike camping and if so, how do you go about getting the daily battery charge for your bike? I know most sites offer electric hook ups but to carry the extension cable while touring would be a bit of a faff.

Not sure what I just watched to be honest.

Yeah, considering the lack of a service it has been flawless until recently when the chain started coming off and jamming between the motor casing and the chain ring. I just fancied a cheaper runaround ebike as well as the Bosch Haibike.

My Bosch has an Active Line Plus motor. It is very powerful but I don't think it it kicks in with the power as quickly as the Engwe. It is 6 years old though with 1800 miles on it and not been serviced as I could never find anyone to do it. I finally found somewhere to do it so it is getting a software update as well and a new chain, chainring and cassette. Hopefully that improves it somewhat as I do like the bike. It has been bombproof with very few issues.

My Haibike is Bosch and has a cadence sensor. The Engwe with a torque sensors definitely picks up a lot quicker. It is instant power as soon as you need it.

Why do torque sensors need to be avoided?

35 miles is my absolute max these days no matter whatever the weather or terrain. I am usually ready for a pint by then.

I was seriously impressed riding the Engwe P275 SE. A very nice ride! It is now even cheaper at £749. The torque sensor on it is a game changer.

I am 90kg and don't mind doing a lot of pedalling. I am happy using minimum assist on the flat but do want to use the juice on hills. I live in Staffordshire so the terrain is varied.

I rode my wife's new Engwe P275 se into work for 8 miles tonight and was very impressed. First thoughts are how powerful and responsive it is. I would put it on a par with my Bosch powered Haibike, but whether it stands the test of time like that has is another story I guess. I will ride it some more tomorrow but at the £800 price point it definitely appears very good.

Good shout about the NFC. I never thought of that. I am getting to try out an Engwe P275 se this evening as my wife is letting me use hers for work.

Mainly roads, country lanes, cycle paths and canal towpaths.

Hello everyone. I am after a new ebike around £1000 mark. I have narrowed it down to four and wondered what your opinions of them are? I have no preference as to whether it is a walk through frame or traditional style of bike. All I ask it that it can carry panniers and do at least 50 miles per charge. 1. Engwe P275 se. £799 2. Fiido C11 pro. £999 3. RCB G5. £749 4. Cyrusher Voyage. £1099 Thoughts and thanks.

I will deliver it within reasonable distance if I can sell it. Either that or try and get a bike for it and sell it whole.

Surplus to requirement. TranzX PST battery, charger and key. It came off an EBCO UCR20 bike and attached through the pannier rack. Charges to full with no problem and discharges as normal with use. Built in light on back and has been fully charged approximately 40 to 50 times. 11ah 36v 396wh. Postcode DE13 8LL. £100

Yes, I see that eBay won't touch them either.

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I have a battery (TranzX BL15 36v - 11ah 396 wh) that is surplus to requirement. It is off an EBCO UCR20 ebike that she no longer has. It also comes with a key to lock it to a suitable pannier rack and a charger. There is also a light built into the rear of it. It charges fully and discharges normally with use. What is the best way to sell this battery as I have no real way of hooking it up to my Haibike that uses a Bosch battery ?
