September 16, 20187 yr Author I looked these bikes, and wonder if anyone knows how good they are ? RoodDog Striker. Kudos Eiger. Gteck essend. I would add suspension seat . Can anyone vouch for these bikes, or any particular one stands out .
September 16, 20187 yr I looked at the sprung seat, and it looks good. Your suggestion is a bike with no suspension, I imagine more bike for your money as no money for suspension. Could you recommend and good value bikes for me look at. ? As long as it can easily go on logging roads, and be ok on main roads I should be ok. I have still not ruled out the Woosh, would just like look some options as I may not need full suspension. I didn't suggest any bike at all.............
September 16, 20187 yr I looked these bikes, and wonder if anyone knows how good they are ? RoodDog Striker. Kudos Eiger. Gteck essend. I would add suspension seat . Can anyone vouch for these bikes, or any particular one stands out . None of them is as good as the Cubes mentioned before. The Eiger is no longer in production, the Striker is basic spec with a Zoom fork, the Gtech Escent is not much better, with a very small battery capacity. Treat yourself to a Cube. It comes down to what suits your requirements: lightweight, good suspension, decent battery, strong motor, good gears, good weight distribution. PS: I forgot, decent hydraulic brakes.

September 16, 20187 yr The Cube Acid is good value and would do what you want. In saying that I would suggest test ride a few different bikes and drive systems. The hub drive Oxygen MTB comes highly recommended by few members. How comfortable bike (frame) feels to you is most important, quality of components is secondary. Only decent test ride of 1-2hrs will tell you this.
September 17, 20187 yr Author Thanks for all the help. I will go with the Cube Acid. I notice their is a 400 and a 500. Their is slight difference in price. Would I go for the more expensive option. ?
September 17, 20187 yr The 500 is preferable because it will give you a greater range. Then again the 400 may be sufficient for your requirements depending on the terrain and total weight carried.
September 17, 20187 yr Author I was also going to add the spring seat. Im 60 and overweight, so no spring chicken and obviously won't be doing any serious off roading. Basically up and down forestry roads, and main roads when camper is parked up. Any advantage to me will help. Both the 400 and 500 look perfect.
