    Thats cheap at £400 delivered from UK after discount code applied. It does somewhat negate the discussion around reliabilty and longevity of basic ebikes like this, when you can now buy an ebike like this for less than some pay for a replacement rear cassette....

    :D:D Nope I haven't bought one, just posting it here as a bargain for someone as a cheapo introduction into ebiking. I've got far to many ebikes already, so not planning on any more, my problem is I can't resist a bargain, and find obscure scenarios where each one would be useful, but in...

    If a fat bike is your thing, at £419 for a 48v 13ah 62Nm that's a cracking deal. Remove the throttle to go street legal
