November 25, 20169 yr I don't think Black Friday deals exist. In the main, it's cheap tat garbage bought in specifically to sell on Black Friday. My advice is to buy nothing today and to invest the money instead.
November 25, 20169 yr I don't think Black Friday deals exist. In the main, it's cheap tat garbage bought in specifically to sell on Black Friday. My advice is to buy nothing today and to invest the money instead. Agreed. The day I know sales offers can be genuine is the day the banks join in with: "£10 notes, 50% off". .
November 25, 20169 yr Sorry actually ment on electric bikes.....lol. decent ones??? Gtech are offering a spare battery for free when you buy a bike for Christmas.
November 25, 20169 yr 50 Cycles Kalkhoff Jarifa 27R 5.0, £ 1120:00 ?? I owned a Jarifa 27 and it was the best thing i had ever bought until the motor broke,the second motor ran even better than the first one but that failed as well. I liked the jarifa because mine had a long range 17ah battery and nobody else was offering that when i bought it.
November 25, 20169 yr So what you are saying in short is: "I owned a Jarifa 27 and it was the best thing i had ever bought I liked the jarifa because mine had a long range 17ah battery and nobody else was offering that when i bought it." All for a grand, I wonder what the Elephant in the room is ???

All for a grand, I wonder what the Elephant in the room is ??? The Jarifa model i had was £3600 and i had to sell it for £1200 eight months later. Not one of my better ideas however the Cube c-62 carbon i have now is reliable and performs very good (bosch CX),owned for ten months.
November 25, 20169 yr Agreed. The day I know sales offers can be genuine is the day the banks join in with: "£10 notes, 50% off". . That's all they are now isn't it? £5.00
November 25, 20169 yr That's all they are now isn't it? £5.00 In worth they're certainly heading that way! .

That made the Cube really expensive.
November 25, 20169 yr No laughing matter having to take that sort of loss. That made the Cube really expensive. Yes it did and i took a bit hit so the Cube will have to last quite a few years,all good so far.
November 25, 20169 yr The best choice of Friday reductions that I have seen online is here http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/bikes-electric-bikes/?filter=true&categoryid=2698&sortby=pricelowtohi A fair few 2017 models - more 15 per cent offers rather then 20 per cent compared to last year This is in my fantasy basket http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/cube-reaction-hybrid-hpa-sl-500-29-hardtail-e-bike-2017
November 25, 20169 yr Hi Newbie here! Mulling over getting an e bike having tried one on holiday. I've seen this deal https://www.allseasonsbikes.com/products/black-e-xplorer-electric-bike Has anyone any experience of this brand and how does the spec of the bike stack up. Is it worth a punt at £900? I don't want to pay much more than £1k for my first bike.
November 25, 20169 yr Oh dear really !!! and its not very light. Cheap basic heavy components bring it in at nearly 21kg for a hardtail. As it is a reduced £1500 bike for £900 just for today then it still doesn't look very special, not a lot going on there for a 1500 quid bike.. Brakes are pretty tame for that money I would want hdb and much better forks. It looks pretty rubbish at 900 so you have to ask would I look at it for 1495 ??? Edited November 25, 20169 yr by Nealh

If you read the ad to the bottom it's a £995 bike that they are knocking £100 off. Surprising just how many bike makes there are. For the money their service return and 14 day trial seem unbeatable.

Invest your money in an established brand such as Cube,Ktm,Scott,Giant etc,there is plenty of advice and reviews on affordable quality e-bikes in this forum.
November 25, 20169 yr I misread the ad it nearly 22kg and the swx 08 on Bafangs web site list it as a D/D gearless hub. Much better for the same list price though not on offer and above your limit, still heavy at 22kg though. http://www.oxygenbicycles.com/e-bikes/s-cross-mtb Edited November 25, 20169 yr by Nealh
November 25, 20169 yr http://www.kudoscycles.com/ Have 4 bikes around your price range similar to the offer bike.
November 25, 20169 yr Many thanks for the advice. I will check out the Kudos range. I would love a cube/KTM et al but to be fair we are talking a difference of a £1000. As someone who just wants to 'give biking a try', I can't justify spending that much so realise that the anything I buy will obviously have cut a few corners. On that note, Is ebay the best place to pick up a second hand ebike - that may allow access to the established brands?
November 25, 20169 yr Although ebay has loads of bikes for sale,picking up a second hand ebike is very risky,there are many for sale with almost useless batteries,you could pick up a bargain,but you could also pick up a money pit.
November 26, 20169 yr There always cyber Monday, maybe if you ring they can give a discount, this is nice with CX motor http://www.freeborn.co.uk/cube-reaction-hybrid-hpa-pro-400-19386 http://lcc.org.uk/articles/bike-test-longtermer-cube-reaction-hybrid-hpa
