November 29, 20169 yr Hi. I am 5ft 5. 75k. Looking for folder or bike to suit my size and weight. Live at 1000ft up a mountain. Need to climb hills. Any suggestions? Also tried looking at photos but how do you relate those to models you sell? Cheers Pete.
December 2, 20169 yr Author Hi Pete, Sorry I missed this! Hi. I am 5ft 5. 75k. Looking for folder or bike to suit my size and weight. Live at 1000ft up a mountain. Need to climb hills. Any suggestions? Also tried looking at photos but how do you relate those to models you sell? Cheers Pete. Sorry I missed this Pete. Any of our folders would be suitable for you, however folders aren't renowned for their hill climbing ability! The Zest or ibex models would be better suited to the task. http://byocycles.co.uk/exDemo/gallery-images/20161125_101538.jpg http://byocycles.co.uk/exDemo/gallery-images/20161125_101800.jpg http://byocycles.co.uk/exDemo/gallery-images/20161125_103443.jpg
December 2, 20169 yr Author FD (A) sold Zest+ with mudguard and front light sold And now have a Tornado with various marks and scratches (taken to Cycle show and demo'd) is already boxed but heres the commercial photo: http://byocycles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/DSC_0073-e1474371975670.jpg £375 + VAT.
December 2, 20169 yr Author Is the battery in the frame on the tornado? Hi Flux, Yes the tornado has a Samsung Celled 8.6ah lithium ion battery in the frame, however the battery is completely removable. Thanks,
December 2, 20169 yr http://byocycles.co.uk/exDemo/gallery-images/20161125_101800.jpg Hi, I am looking for a ebike conversion kit currently but these look like a good deal. Which one is the one above and do any of the ones you are selling like this have a bottle battery rather than rear rack? What would you be charging for delivery on these or where are you based. Many thanks Jamie
December 2, 20169 yr Author Hi Jamie, The only one with a bottle battery is the Ibex CD (early prototype at £975 + VAT) It has the bafang maxdrive mid drive motor and is for the best part new. All others have rack batteries or proprietary batteries. This one: http://byocycles.co.uk/exDemo/gallery-images/20161125_103502.jpg

Does it come with any warranty?
December 2, 20169 yr Author Hi Andy, We are in production with it, this was the first sample we ordered and then decided to change some parts to make it more worth the price for the customer, it retails at £1699.95. And it comes with a years warranty. http://byocycles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IbexCD-1.jpg

December 2, 20169 yr Author Hi Andy, It was £1599.95, however due to the exchange rate changing it's gone up.

I have put a request in to our web development team, but things as trivial as changing a price are apparently not that important (I will forgive him though, he does manage the ecommerce of 5 companies!) I've actually just logged in myself and changed it

I've actually just logged in myself and changed it Imagine picking up a bottle of wine in a major supermarket for £5.99 you get to the checkout and its £7.99, the cashier says sorry its gone up. Legally that would be considered misrepresentation let alone the impression it gives to the customer. I'll end on that note.

Regardless really as we don't have stock available to purchase of that model. Thanks for your input however. I'll pass on your thoughts to the web developer.

December 2, 20169 yr It was like that in Germany a bit back. It still is where I am but weak consumer protection laws here.
December 2, 20169 yr Out dated wheel size, cable operated brakes, zero component spec or brand of components used, no bike weight, all of which set alarm bells ringing and automatically make the bike overpriced by £500.00 and that perhaps is being kind. For just £50.00 more, you can a get a branded eMTB, with 5 year warranty on the frame, 2 year warranty on all other parts, branded components throughout including wheels and tyres, 27.5 wheel size, full factory support, and nationwide dealerships. Send a bike down to me to review, and I'd happily take it over some of my regular proven and recorded riding routes for comparison purposes. It would then not only test the bikes claimed use of "hitting the trails hard" but would also test the bikes claimed range. I tend to think that it would cope with neither terrain or range. The first route would be ideal for testing the bikes range. Ridden just last weekend, it is a non taxing 34.7 miles of undulating grass and woodland, with a mere 3,773ft of elevation gain. Ridden using a Bosch powered bike with one battery. It would prove an ideal comparison as the Ibex should take the ride in it's stride with it's claimed 35-50 mile range capability, and it's ability to "iron out the hills, and fly down the hills".

Yep, you got it, a quick look can defy reality. If you shop around you can find the below model with TWO year warranty for a similar price, I know where my money would go.

December 2, 20169 yr For that kind of money, you can build a top spec'd MTB with BBS01/2...none of ours come close to that pricepoint and they all run Hope brakes, top class wheels/tyres, XT or XTR drivechains, Fox suspension front & back...I guess if you're charging £50 an hour for build-labour you could justify the cost, but I just don't see it in the final product...IMHO of course:)

The way I see it is a reasonable quality hybrid from a major brand can be picked up for £425 or less if ex demo etc. A BBS01 kit with battery £675 pencil in a few incidentals and build labor then under £1300. Are you a commercial bike converter?
