Advice on best make for the budget - flooded with ads

Featured Replies

Hi all

Since i picked up my search again my socials feed is flooded with ads. No idea of these firms but the bikes look nice.

I have make of £1400-1500 for a commuter type some bridelway bike. mid drive I think. Heavy user so good power and battery.

Loved the Wisper Wayfarer and seems the most torque around but cannot afford that now even though they are 4 miles from me!

 

So looking at

second hand Rad Rhino?

or new

Fiido?

Engwe

Himiway Cruiser (zevra too much)

CrazyBird Seta

 

Any help gratefully received

which bikes have you tried before?

They are so close to you, I would pop in and try the Wayfarer at least as a basis for comparison.

Ask David [mention=181]Wisper Bikes[/mention] if he has any Wayfarer's ex display models or offers

Or Woosh's Gran Camino ? https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?gran-camino

 

or a rather nice secondhand Camino with 17Ah battery

 

https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?secondhand

 

or get a donor bike and add a kit / get someone to add an ebike kit

Thanks!

 

It's great to be a part of this community.

 

All the best, David

Not sure you want another commuter car. But I am a Fiido C21 owner. You might consider it if you want a lighter ebike suitable for commuting. it’s been great. Smooth and quiet. I’m mostly on PAS 1 or 2 and usually off when on flat gravel roads and down hills. I just need a little power for the climbs, PAS2 is all I need for hills 5-12%. I can get around 40+ miles, but if you use PAS5 100% of the time, you’ll only get 10-15 miles with a lot of climbs. Also, this bike actually rides really good without power. Definitely worth it, especially with torque sensor. You can also unlock the speed by pressing the down arrow from the limited 15mph to 20mph.

You must be very light and fit. Anybody can get any range if they switch off the assistance. That's not going to work for 19 stone OP. The only way he'd get 40 miles without charging from a 208 wh battery is when it's in the boot of his car. That battery would empty in two miles if he tried it on the hills where I live.
