That should read, almost into my seventh decade !!

Welcome aboard. l am a regular mountain bike rider. (13,000 miles in my last bike) l've never looked back since buying my ebike, and after 14 months (and 4,000 miles) of ebike riding l am no less fit than l was before. l collected an ordinary bike from my LBS and rode it home for a friend last...

A mid mounted motor is better, because it drives through the gears. But l agree with the above, unless you are riding serious off road a hub motor is fine and a lot simpler/cheaper to repair. l've got both, and l've found myself using the hub motor bike more, because it's actually more fun to...

Ah okay l didn't know that. Looks like l was wrong on battery prices as well. £795, and not rebuildable.... crikey that will write off an older ebike.

More investigation reveals it's a startup scheme, so the bike doesn't actually exist yet. They are offering "half price" if you invest now (that is, pre pay for a bike for delivery when they start manufacturing) but it's a risk.

£800 for a battery, are they that expensive? My Shimano 504Wh is expensive but not that much. l would expect nearer £400 or it could maybe be recelled, if necessary

Looks a great bike, post a review when you get it, people will find it useful.

1500w, wow that's a Superbike !! Mines 250w and l thought it was okay

That actually looks very good for the money, the fork is a proper one with compression/rebound adjustment although it doesn't say anything about the shock. l would take a chance and buy one. However the company is in the USA so l doubt they will ship to the U.K.

I've got a Mirider and it's really good, true range if you thrash it (level 3/5 all the time) is 15-20 miles. Ridden more carefully it will exceed 30 miles. Woosh Rambletta looks great and is £500 cheaper as well, but l haven't ridden one so can't comment any further than that.

Good idea there. Also if you buy from Halfords you've got somewhere to take it back if necessary (as long as you buy from the store in person, and not online)

l am not sure l agree that you need to spend quite that much!! My e-mountain bike cost £5,600 and my folding ebike was £1,500 There's nothing wrong with the £1,500 bike, l would question the need to spend any more on that kind of commuting/holiday bike unless you absolutely must have one that...

The Mirider has rear suspension and it makes a big difference to ride comfort. A bit of suspension, done well, is well worth having. Done badly (like the fork on the £700 ebike l tried last week) it's worse than not having any. The Mirider rear suspension is an elastomer and it's adjustable...

l think it's just a language difference. To the O/P try the Mirider 1. lts not the cheapest, but it's good.

l paid £1500 for my folding ebike, twice the price of the ones on Amazon/ebay However the bike is quality, l've thrashed it off road, well out of its comfort zone, and l ride it at the maximum speed all the time. Nothing has broken or fallen off, in fact it rides so well on the road that l...

l've got a Mirider 1 and it's superb, but expensive at £1500 l've looked at (and ridden) cheaper alternatives and many aren't that great. But the Woosh Rambletta looks great at £995. l've nothing to do with either company (Mirider or Woosh) but just going off my own research.

l think self build is the way to go if you can do it. The "suspension fork" on the ebike l tried was just two springs in the tubes and was worse than nothing Well, as in, my ebike with no front suspension rides better.

l'm not sure what "middle class" means these days. lf it's to do with wealth, many will have become "middle class" because of the massive rise in house prices !!

lf you can stretch to £1500 l can't fault my Mirider 1 lt rides well, is light, and folds easily. l find myself using it more than my e-mountain bike for general rides. lt's got rear suspension making it much more comfortable on rougher roads and tracks. Real world range is 15-20 miles...

There's not much sign of poverty round here. People are still tossing new cars onto their drives and the kids are all riding around on £2,000 mtb's Extensions are appearing on houses and money is being spent on driveways, kitchens, motor homes etc The streets are crammed with cars, if anything...
