If money is tight, perhaps you could consider TSDZ2b? You can get it from UK source for around £200.

Looks great. Mudguards look a bit odd though... How about repairability?

Apollo is associated with very low budget and poor quality bikes. Check Eleglide, maybe you can find something interesting https://eleglide.com/collections/electric-bike

Welcome. Please feel free to share some photos and your experience.

Quite a decent size and they come with handy feature as they heat themselves when temperature is below 5C. Makes me wonder if one can remove seatpost and saddle, mount it to rack and just seat on it. It would make a very comfortable ride during winter ;)

Have a look yourself. Scroll down to very bottom to reference 7 https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/thirdpartyliability I checked quite a few insurance companies and all have very similar policies with missing key words that you highlighted. This is also the reason why I decided not to take...

So you are determined to make the same mistake as Diverdave? Don't.

Is there a law saying what insurance companies can and can't insure? I am sure if they deny your claim you could put up a good fight, but average person probably wouldn't stand a chance. I don't like what they do at all, but I can't say they mislead people. On contrary, they are very clear...

But they don't say which bike is legal and which is not. They say what bikes are covered by their insurance and as you have said most ebikes are excluded.

You are quite an optimist, you know? I am not :). This is exact wording: "the electric motor should have a maximum power output of 250 watts or less " With third party insurance claim as high as 20m they might quite easily say: "contract is a contract and actually your bike max power goes well...

Exactly. I don't like it, but we little people have very limited choices. We can comply or ignore and try to ride below radar. Speaking of compliance I think I will have to buy a bloody sticker as I don't have displayed maximum assisted speed anywhere. :) Interestingly insurance companies sell...

Please don't tell me you still believe law make some sense. Law is just a number of boxes you must tick or hoops to jump through to get "legal" certificate. Yes, most of it doesn't make sense. Bike with 250W rated power can use 500W and still be legal.

Did you buy a bike already? Tredz have some interesting offers at ths moment. For example: £980 with code NEARLYNEW20 https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Raleigh-Array-Crossbar-Nearly-New-M-2023-Electric-Hybrid-Bike_262853.htm

This mud guard looks like it is wrong size or some parts are missing.

Personally I think this appeal does make sense. Companies should be accountable for what their employees do and what equipment they use. They also should provide proper training.

This is the biggest off topic ever :)

I am not sure what you have in mind Guerney. As far as I remember your bike is a folder and doesn't have front suspension, so it is an entire different story.

That is not what I meant Saracen. If you attach water bottle like you did, there is a risk your wheel can hit bottle, cause accident and potential serious injury. As per bag on crossbar - by attaching it like you did, you significantly increase standover height, yet again risking injury this...

Ok... if you like battery wrapped in rubbish bag then it is your choice. I would move water bottle somewhere else if I were you (unless your fork doesn't work). Also bag on crossbar is in very unfortunate position.
