36v 700c hybrid was £1100 now £499.

Shows one in stock at Herne Bay store.

emove 28" hybrid half price at £475.

In stock in my local and other stores.

emove 26" £425 at Tottenham Ct Rd store.

I'll tell you on the 9th. On the 10th, I challenge Gurney to a race after I've had a few drinks in that pub.

 

What's the point? I'm legally limited to 25kph. Besides, everyone who has ever competed against me has died. At the event or shortly after. Horribly too. And the requisite skullduggery for that sort of thing takes more planning and guile than initially assumed, I simply don't have the time to arrange such "unfortunate accidents" with plausible deniability these days. I must be getting old...

 

 

 

 

If you can stand the thought of visiting Harlech (quite understandably, many don't - I met a nasty hunchback from Harlech, they might all be like that ), why not use your crappy and inadequate new Innvovv 4K camera to record yourself exploding your battery pedelecing up this hill instead?

Point is, I can climb any hill with just 36V and 20A no sweat, instead of 48V and 22A. So there. And you had your chance that night, but you couldn't abandon your pint.

16%! What sort of hill is that. Every time I go out for a ride, I go down a 30% hill with no problem at all.

 

And yes I have been up it many times too, but that was when I only had 60% of the power I have now.

There are steeper hills not too far away, but not anywhere near my usual commuting routes. One of these days, I'll mentally and physically prepare myself for the horror of encountering an entire town teeming with men women and child hunchbacks with squiffy eyes, catch a train to Harlech to climb that hill and videograph the event. Luckily it's close to the train station - interaction with hunchbacks should hopefully be minimal, unless they're very determined. I think it's got something to do with the nuclear power plant upstream. A train journey to Harlech is suspiciously cheap... a trap to provide the ravenous bosseyed cannibal hunchbacks of Harlech fresh meat.

A 36V one as well ! In the pictures it shows disc brakes but the spec says v brakes ?

Yes, I wondered about the brakes.

The only thing that would put me off is the weight - 25kg !

Yes, it is heavy, but you can't have it all at this price.

This is lighter, but not electric.

That emove folder is a fantastic bargain.

£245???? Unbelievable. Also, it is available.

It's ideal - just the rear sprocket is 14/28. 20" wheel *52/14 is undergeared (for me anyway). I fitted a 7 speed DNP 11-28 freewheel and then just don't use the 28t cog

 

An AKM74 20" wheel with KT controller kit is £270 then £200 for a Woosh 10A 36V bag battery + charger, then £200 for the bike - ends up costing around £700 in total but the AKM74 is 1.6Kg and the battery 1.8kg - so the finished bike is a lot lighter and with a KT controller.

Tried to buy one of the 20" bikes and three times my payment was refunded. They must have all sold out or something.

 

Edit: Naaa - senior moment. I used the wrong authorisation code from a different card to the one they had saved on the site.

 

Grabbed one. Hope it is OK. At the price, and with a year's guarantee, I won't be complaining I think.

I look forward to the review. Mine comes on Friday.

Yes - I will write a review. I am not expecting it to be the best e-bike ever, but I was thinking about when my French niece comes to visit, we can all go for a ride about - I mean my partner and her and myself on ebikes. We could all go over to Gilsland - I wrote about that ride a couple of weeks back. My partner has an oldish Pendelton Somersby 2018/19 and she loves it. It has given us no issues once I woke the battery up when we bought it as a non-runner.

 

I hope you get on well with yours when it comes. And likewise, I will be looking for a review.

I think you should beastify it. You have to beat the 33 mph of my Cyclamatic.

I don't know what that is, but I can possibly get it to do 33 mph down one of these steep hills around here, as long as I know the brakes work.

 

The model I bought has some confusion in the description though. The picture shows disk brakes and the description refers to v brakes. I am hoping for the former.

I don't know what that is.

For your bike, it means a 52v battery and a 22A controller. That should be enough to spin the back wheel or tow Gurney's measly crank-drive bike up any hill faster than what he can go under its own power.

With the non-converted bikes and riders being equal, yours would be comparatively rubbish at hills with a normal 36V and 20A hub drive kit, utilising the same battery type - either good for hauling weight or speed, not both like my mid-drive. Your only hope is the Xiongda two speed. You could convert the rider to electric aswell, to gain a much needed advantage.
