Thanks very much will give it a try.

its a lead acid battery, and I cant remember the make and model of the bike, I bought it through the caravan club? Is it likely the battery then? Thnaks

Hi I have an old folding electric bike I used to keep in my camper van. I plan to put on ebay but it has been in the garage for about 3 years. All charges up all working but the motor seems to have seized. It tries to work but hardly moves at all. Anything I can try to make it work please? Thanks

Thanks for all your advice. We will be taking the bikes to Italy where we have a small house in the mountains. We want to go further up into the mountains for leisure rides etc, but also want to be able to go into the nearest town about a mile away down a roughly 1 in 3 hill on a rough road (and back again) to get basic shopping in. I like the look of all of the bikes recommended but £800 would be the top price I could pay. Thanks for any more ideas. PS there are a number of bikes on ebay with rear hub brakes, 21 gears, etc and a seemingly high spec but they don't seem to have a make or model so I am finding it difficult to get reviews. One i have looked at and considered is this 26M03S does anyone know anything? Trying out is also a problem with so few shops locally, but I think we will be on our way to Buxton. Thanks

Hi I am looking at buying an electric bike for use on a gravelly and steep road and to use for cycling on tracks. Do I need to be looking for 21 plus gears or are the 6 and 7 gear modles ok for this? I only have about 700 to spend as I want 2. I'm not sure the difference re the gears. Any advice on what to buy and what difference the gears make would be most welcome. Thanks.
