    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    It's been a while since I've visited this forum but getting a email update has prompted me to complete my story on ebikes. I ended up selling the Burisch, it was a lovely bike but I found that what I really needed was to get fitter (I still miss it on those windy, tired legs days), so I passed...

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    There is a light on the battery so the fuse should be good. I took the controller box apart and checked the connections which all seemed fine. I also took the battery connector apart to check the wires were still connected which they were. However when I was putting it back together I got a...

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    Update: After of 4 weeks of great riding, including some pretty horrible rain everything was going fine. Rear brake is still rubbish and the pads are wearing down quick so I'll be replacing that with the new brake very soon. Some issues with the chain coming off now that I have a 48t front cog...

    Battery Life Update: To test the battery life I decided to ride to work today after doing 15 miles on a full battery (2nd only charge). There was a strong head wind and after 7.5 miles the battery lights went out. So about 22 miles in total, perhaps a few more after a couple of charges. This...

    To add a slightly different take. I'm much more of a spinner than a pusher when it comes to riding so although when assisted you really need a bigger cog on the flat the bike as is was fine for hill climbing and I've done some steep ones when I took the bike up North West with me. I'll be...

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    I've just remembered this Commuter beats petrol hikes by making his daily 11-mile journey on a UNICYCLE | Mail Online Hopefully this might help people in seeing that I'm not simple an agent for Burisch.

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    Yep they are a little bit on the pricey side. No maintenance at all really and the tires last for 1000km+ To get back on topic this highlights why I like the Burisch, it's fun. I like riding fun cycles and my unicycle also fits into that category.

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    It's not a plug, especially as I have already pointed out that the back brake is crap and you need a new chain wheel. I wonder how else I can prove it? Apologies if I have offended anyone with my comment on the Whisper Sport. It really is a lovely bike. I'm used to light road bikes and light...

    Burisch offroad electric bike, new for £649 on ebay

    Review from a first time e-bike rider. First a brief introduction so you can see the context in which the review is given. I regularly ride my MTB bike with road tires to work with a 12 mile round trip. Sometimes for giggles I also commute on my 36" road unicycle I've had little experience...
