Out of curiosity, because I really don't have two grand to spend on a bike, I came across this Kalkhoff and I'm in love: And the feature list is wonderful. Why oh why do I taunt myself! :) Link

Aye, I was only considering it because it was the sure fit for a free hanging child seat. The Hamax Caress with Carrier adapter should fit on the Big Bear but until I got hold of both I can't say for sure. Similarly a normal free hanging carrier with some extension tubes might also work on the...

Aye, we're on reserve list for a Big Bear LS for the wife (not a confident rider). I'm in two minds between BB, Sport CD or Kudos Tornado.

Someone send me a couple bikes on trial and as a complete ebike newbie I'll give you a fair and honest review of CD vs BPM! :)

How wide is the rear rack?

From the videos the race isn't something I want to see or care about as a prospective eBike buyer. I want an ebike so I can have an easy, leisurely ride, not one where I'm peddling like crazy, bike wobbling around on the road. I want to see someone whizzing up that hill with their legs sticking...

Excellent, thanks Jim that's perfect.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on hill climbing.

Thanks Mike, that's what I meant to say (SWX or similar) :)

Just wondering if anyone has mounted a rear rack on either of these bikes. They''re rear disc brakes, so I'm guessing only certain racks will fit.

Does anyone know what motor is on the Juicybike Sport models? Specs say '250W 36V, brushless DC motor' and it's on the rear, so I'm guessing a standard rear hub model and not a BPM motor.

Pictures never convey how steep something is :) But your graph would indicate it couldn't manage a 15% hill on throttle alone, but the Santana CD is different than the Sirocco and Sport CD, which still indicate 6.5mph on a 15 degree hill in first gear. That's also based on weighing 75kgs, so...

This is my point. The charts and text say the CD can do this but the BPM Big Bear cannot. Where does the truth lie? Having said that, many people are saying the BPM is the better choice and I think I believe them :)

This is a fascinating discussion, especially to one looking at bikes and weighing up the pros and cons of CD vs BPM. What i find interesting is that the charts over at Wooshbikes clearly show the CD bikes can climb hills better. But I'm told it evens out if you factor in gear changes. But would...

So is this new Oxygen MTB positioned as a cheaper bike than the E-Mate City?

Thanks and good luck to you as well. I'd be interested to hear how you get on.

On the reserved list for a couple Big Bears and was going to go for the Hamax carrier adapter, but reading the warranty, it's void if you carry more than 5kg on the rear rack. So I might end up getting the Sport CD and a regulars free hanging rear seat. Out of the two of us I can put in more...

The Momentum looks interesting but perhaps not for hilly Plymouth. I guess all front facing seats need a flat crossbar?

Tony from Woosh Bikes was very helpful and checked a local Halfords for the types of fittings. He suggested the same multifix bracket as Trex, so that's one option. Although we might need some bar extenders to raise the seat up from the battery. Another alternative I've just seen, which I'll...

The Sirocco 2 should work with a rear rack mounted seat, although I'm not personally as keen on the design (I love the look of the Sports CD).
