Does this bike have a full grip throttle ?. ( i.e. not a thumb throttle ). Does anyone know the peak power of this bike and its hill climbing ability ?

Hi, can you answer me a few questions on the x bike please. 1. Is the battery locked onto the bike by key so it can't be stolen ? 2. I believe the water bottle shaped battery has been ditched, i'm sure you have been asked this countless times !, but why has this great feature of the bike been...

Thanks for the advice guys. I appreciate it. I haven't considered the Powabyke X bike because of the price. But if its hill climbing ability is alot better I will consider it. I can get the Izip mountain Trailz for £489 The Powabyke X bike 6 speed is £749 so the question i have is, is the...

Hi I haven't been on this forum for a while so Hi again ! :) I used to own a Powabyke 24 speed electric bike but I had to sell it a while ago. I found the bike to be a good powerful hill climber. My new route to a new job is uphill all the way so I now need a new electric bike and hill...

I ride my bike in all weather conditions, i've had no problems as yet. My tip would be to invest in good quality breathable waterproofs. I've got a great lightweight breathable waterproof jacket I got from Millets, the make is The North Face. It cost me about £65.00 I think but its worth...

Thanks for the reply.

My Powabyke Review I don't know where else to put this message and I've tried to use the email option in the contact us section but it won't work so i've put this message here ! :confused: I have put forward my review of my bike ( Powabyke speed commuter 24 ) but the Author is coming up...

Hi joanieb, I'm 30 and people take the mick out of me as well ! I bought the bike because I have an undulating 3 and a half mile ride to work. When I do this ride on my normal mountain bike I arrive to work a sweaty mess ! also I have to wear different clothes and then dry myself down then...

Hi BeckyH, I totally agree with what flecc has said. I live in Guernsey so your terrain will be much like mine. I own a Powabyke Commuter 24 and its an excellent bike for climbing hills. I've gone up the steepest ones I can find and I only have to pedal assist a little bit. The downside...

Hi Ian. Unfortunatley there is no eZee dealer in Guernsey ( there is strangely enough another Powabyke dealer ! ), the dealer I bought mine from sells Sakura bikes as well but I prefered the more rugged and robust qualitys of the the Powabyke. I would have liked to have tried an eZee as well but...

I've owned my Powabyke for a week now so I've now done a fair bit of hill climbing and I must say the bike has surpassed all expectations, especially hill climbing ! :D. I haven't riden any other make of electric bike so I can't compare this model to the ability of others. All I can say...

Thanks for the info. :)

Does anyone know if you can derestrict a powabyke commuter 24 ? will it harm the motor ? what would the top speed be ? and is it advisable to do this ? I'm not planning to do this as I find the performance adequate for my needs I'm just curious ! :)

He He :D ! it might have seemed like a quick purchase but believe me i've done alot of research on the net and on this site for a few weeks before I bought ! I must say I am a bit of an impulse buyer though ! The bike just felt right to me straight away. :) I just went for the standard...

I am now the owner of a Powabyke Speed Commuter 24 :D I tried the 6 speed euro it was also a great bike to ride the problem was when going downhill or along the flat at any decent speed I had to pedal rather frantically ! with the 24 speed I could get some serious speed up ! Also the...

I'm taking my first ride on an electric bike today either on a Powabyke Euro 6 speed or/and a Powabyke Commuter 21. I've decieded on these based on limited web searching and what i've read on here. It seems to me although these models are heavier than some makes they seem reliable. I've read...
