May 4, 20223 yr Been looking at a company called big game bikes based Worthing , looking at the folding impala ebike with 750 bafang motor and 48v 24ah battery for my wife anyone bought one ?
May 4, 20223 yr I've not seen one in the flesh but their website says 26.5kg plus the battery, making around 32.5kg. Even without the battery that's plenty to lift into a car boot. Is the hinge pin removable? ;-D
May 5, 20223 yr Author Not sure about hinge pin , it’s just for the wife who now does a lot of trail riding and the mirider one wasn’t up to it . Seems to have a massive battery at 24ah 48v and nice bafang 750 watt motor
November 15, 20241 yr You are probably ware, but just in case... You are definitely in S-pedalec with that one; no legal use on public road without registration/insurance etc, and no use in public off-road places such as cycle paths, bridleways, canal paths, etc.
November 15, 20241 yr Plenty of powerful options within the regs, perhaps the wheel size of the mirider was a factor in its disappointment off road? Im more than happy with my conversion which was no harder than changing a tyre, bolting on a few bits and tidying up the wires. A great option on a comfortable donor bike with good brakes. Woosh and Wisper bikes are well regarded for supplying bikes with expected lifespans longer than it takes for the first element/component to fail.
November 19, 20241 yr Looking at some of their bikes it looks like simple Chinese ebikes rebranded with a huge price increase. One of them the Buffalo looks like a Shengmilo model that sells for about half this price elsewhere. I don't know if Shengmilo is the original manufacturer or a Chinese trade house but that is a lot of additional markup but I guess if they are importing them and then wholesaling them to other dealers then there are lots of people looking to make a profit on each sale.
November 19, 20241 yr It is a thread from 2022. Yes I saw that but thought it was important info for someone considering one of their ebikes and didn't realise its just simple rebranding of Chinese models. If they are researching buying one of their ebikes this might be the only thread they see.
