I probably should have included more info. My current bike was listed as 15-20 miles, however in the terrain I live in the battery is flat after only 6 miles limiting me to within 3 miles range from home. The bike has to basically do most of the work as i'm disabled and even pedal assist is hard work sometimes. I was mainly looking at crank/mid drive as in reviews they seem to give better torque range and battery life. The cyclematic was a good eyeopener to getting back into riding but i'd now like to get much better range and torque to deal with the hills in and around my area. I'm currently browsing all the threads in this topic - the thing I'm going to do differently this purchase is read more reviews as test riding is near impossible as there are only a few suppliers around here and not much choice

Thanks for replies (choosing a ebike is hard work) and thanks trex that looks like a real good bike for the price and I do like its specs. Not available until May but I can wait a little longer or look elsewhere for it.

Hi i'm looking to upgrade from my now tired cyclematic and looking for a reasonable price crank/mid drive bike looking to stay legal as police here have once checked my old cyclematic out to see if it was within the legal limit so what is the best 36v 200w mid drive bike available?

Hi Paul, I'm too called Paul and also live in preston and can be found riding on the s/w coast path between torquay and paignton, i only found this site after my purchase of a Cyclematic, so i unfortunatly went for the wrong cycle for this area, there is a shop on torquay road called "Dialled in bikes" www.dialledinbikes.com the owner is freindly and will help you choose he also has a few in stock that you could possibly arrange for a test ride.

this looks ideal for my needs going to place order monday thanks

they look a bit big for my needs, i will keep looking, reason i was looking at the first one was size as it looks easy enuff to use as a bike light, the others are a bit big. ATM i am using 2 front lights

just seen this, bit pricey but may be worth it, especially where i live and all the unlit roads around my location http://www.supertorch.com/en/index.php

Push Trailer - Build Your Own i may go this route rather than 2 wheel drive, would also be able to lend to family members then

I added bike cover to my home insurance with M&S, adding the bike increased the quote about £50-60, Home, house and contents insurance with M&S Bank | M&S Bank

im with whoever doesn't wear a helmet, coolmax head cover and woolly hat, if ever the law states we must wear one then a folding one like this would be what i buy, depending on price Jeff Woolf's Incredible Folding Bike Helmets Could Revolutionize Cycling Safety | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

i was thinking the other way round would better suit my needs, i may use a toggle switch to enable either method, may also help with battery levels

Iv'e had a cyclematic power plus now for nearly a mth, its great fun, i'm now thinking I made the wrong choice of bike due to my location (verry hilly) has anybody ever done a conversion to 2 wheel drive for this cycle (or similar)

i can often be found around postcode TQ3 2NU riding up and down the beach front

thanks will have a look at walkthrough now

just purchased the cyclematic power plus where do i find this circuit? in the battery or under the pedal stem?
