    but you miss out on the cardiovascular health benefits of actually doing exercise

      You can still pedal this if you choose and the cardiovascular health benefits of pedalling a 30kg bike will be great!

        Not to mention the weight of your own fat a$$..

        Seems like a single speed at that.

        I ride past idiots on these things regularly. They are never pedalling and travel very slowly. They're slow, ugly, not conducive to exercise and dangerous. Apart from that though, excellent product.

    maybe not so much the stylish part..

    • donga100 on 01/01/2014 - 14:17

      I actually tried to leave any references to stylish out of the description but one still managed to sneak in. ;)

    "Boasting an impressive 200W motor…" LOL! Impressive for a 1960 Mixmaster maybe. :-D

    Yes I know it's the maximum legally allowed. But they shouldn't be able to state it is "impressive".

  • Ronnnie on 01/01/2014 - 14:20

    How fast are these things?

    • geebee on 01/01/2014 - 14:24

      Legally they have to stop assisting at 25 kph if they are rated at 250w if they are rated at 200w as above there is no top speed limit but experience suggests that the above bike would top out on motor at 20 kph'ish and pedal assisting it would be very limited above that.

    Lead battery, bushed motor with chain driving the rear wheel so single gear only available for pedalling, weighs 30 kg.
    Basically put the money into a better bike :) which would be just about any other electric bike :)

    You can get a good cardio workout on an electric bike, you choose how hard to pedal, great for starting cycling in hilly terrain, commuting with out needing to shower and then cane it on the way home, or health issues that prevent riding far on a normal bike, etc.

      Does it really assist that much? I find that generally with any half decent road bike,you can ride at pretty decent speeds without break much of a swear already. This thing at 30kg is at least 3x the weight.

      • mycosys on 01/01/2014 - 15:02

        a 200w motor is enough to take of and cruise on its own, it only needs help for little extra speed or hills.
        I used to use an electric chopper that weighs about 40kg with its 90km battery LiFePO4 load aboard, it is in need of repair atm at about 8 years old. MANY thousands of ks on her.
        It would allow me to take off and accelerate to about 20kh without helping (which I cant do as I need a knee replacement etc) would reach 30kph on the flat unaided, 40 with help and I weighed about 100kg
        (my natural weight). As noted you do tend to pedal with it, it is more comfortable and you go faster so you still get some exercise.

    Sorry, but with the motor hanging off the bottom of the frame and the entire chain mech exposed this this is going to need so much maintenance it is not worth buying - the dirt from the front wheel is aimed straight at the motor. forget about wet roads for the same reason.

  • paulaus on 01/01/2014 - 14:42

    what about hills

    • mycosys on 01/01/2014 - 15:03

      Depends how big and how long. If you need to floor a 4cyl then you get off and walk on one of these, let it help pull you up.

      • geebee on 01/01/2014 - 15:10

        This one will have major limits to hill climbing, one of mine has the motor working through the crank/pedals (so can use the bikes gears), it will climb a 20% grade with little rider input or if you pedal it will climb faster.
        Direct drive hubs are fast but don't climb well and geared hubs are some where between direct drive and crank drives.

        This bike is very heavy for a low powered assisted bike and has a crap motor, battery and drive.

  • May4th on 01/01/2014 - 15:10

    these things sound like a safety hazard. you wouldn't go biking gear with these things, not unless you are mentally tough enough that you are immune to ridicule (that and it's annoying as hell and sweltering in summer).

    so that leaves you travelling 30-40km without any protective gear aside from a normal pushbike helmet on what could be main roads.. what could possibly go wrong..

  • anna10 on 01/01/2014 - 15:58

    You can peddle or not as you prefer, but w' lead battery it's not good - way too heavy. I have ridden electric bikes heaps around the world and they are great, esp for people who may be needing to sit down to get anywhere.

    Thank goodness. Praise the Lord. Allah Ackbar.

    If you need an electric bike because you cannot pedal for health reasons, at this price, you can buy a second hand petrol scooter that will last longer. There are also dedicated electric scooters (not modified bicycles) on ebay for around this price.

    Can anyone suggest the best bang for buck electric bike as an alternative to this one? I'd like something for my wife who struggles with hills which really puts her off casual cycling.

    • anna10 on 02/01/2014 - 11:40

      Not a particular bike, but in Tokyo I was given a fairly light weight bike w' a smallish lithium battery and it was wonderful. Look for the lightest and look locally as people buy these things and then don't use them and sell them down the track. 'Used' ones may need a new battery and so you can negotiate enuf to cover price of new Li-on battery. Best go to a local bike shop and test drive one before doing anything else. They are very useful for the right people.
