    Sounds like that was a suron or similar.

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Interesting thread. I doubt the police would be interested in a diy build bike. They would never be able to prove when it was built. Big brand bikes are easier to date, but I still doubt they would put the effort in. Police are only interested in convictions. The paperwork isn’t worth it to...

    27.5 bad for road use?

    No one has bid on the new cycle to scheme work bike, or took the buy it now option at £3500. Don’t know if that’s because they think it’s a bit dodgy or that it’s just a slow market at the moment? Bike is £4400 new.

    Help! Show me your storage sheds/bike shelters

    Are they this much of a fire risk? I thought it was only when cheap Chinese batteries are charging?

    Does the dream ebike exist?

    I have seen similar bikes to the one above with 3 spoke wheels on the road.

    Does the dream ebike exist?

    Loads of bikes that would suit your needs on Amazon and eBay. They sell them, many people ride them. Don’t let people make you feel bad for doing the same.

    I’m not going to do what I normally do. I’m going to take my time. Nothing I’ve been watching has sold other than a new £11k bike with 2 year warranty that went for £5k in a auction. Some of the prices are crazy. I guess it will sort itself out.

    Black bikes with gold shocks look really good. I’ve seen a nice kenevo in those colours.

    160 miles is virtually brand new. That’s a good price for a bike that was £6k new. It’s crazy that a motor in a £12k bike is not meant to be serviced.

    I wouldn’t touch anything with a shimano motor. Bosch is my first choice. I’ve been looking at bikes tonight. Some have been re listed on eBay 3 or 4 times without selling, was considering making a offer on one. What would be a fair offer on a bike that is 12 months old with no warranty, if...

    Seeing that Bosch motors are £700 makes a used bike a much less scary proposition.

    27.5 bad for road use?

    It’s seems like company car but with the tax discounted rather than a massive tax increase. I read something about paying 25% upfront for a bike over £500 and 18% for a bike under £500 but I can’t find it now. Giant not honouring that guys warranty is a joke. I really liked Whyte bikes...

    I agree 100%. The bike has a heathy discount. I’m definitely interested, but it’s now light blue rather than black which is a bit of a downer.

    27.5 bad for road use?

    Really? I need to look into that. I think the seller is genuine. Bikes at reduced prices must be selling now because the colour I wanted has gone. edit, Just had a quick read through the scheme. Unbelievably you can pay 25% of the bikes value at the start and the bike is yours. If you don’t...

    That’s more than quick enough. Brakes seem on point too. What ever I get is going to feel a lot different than my last bike. Suspension and brakes have really moved on.

    Superbike riders have brass balls. I’m brave on 4 wheels not 2. If I thought I could get away with that m620 drivetrain, it would be my first choice. I’ve seen people arguing both sides about U.K. legality on the other forum. Don’t know what to make of it really. The Chinese frames are so...

    We will all be on e scooters in the future. Like it or not. I’d really like a M620 but if they’re not road legal it’s a bit of a risk. Especially with fat tyres. I’m confident I wouldn’t do anything idiotic or ride in rush hour. I just don’t know how likely a pull off the police is. Seems to...

    I was thinking that myself. Said he can change the order to any size or colour. Not really got any feedback either. It’s a new base Levo. Technically selling something that hasn’t been bought yet. I would have wanted a black medium and they’re showing as sold out on tredz now anyway.

    Im in Manchester. If you were closer i definitely would take a look. £2-3k is where I want to be really. Anymore is difficult for me to justify. I’m not going to be riding steep down hill trails or making jumps like a teenager.

    There is a brand new bike for sale at the moment I like. If I buy it, it will be delivered to me from Tredz. The seller has bought it using the cycle to work scheme and is selling it before it’s been delivered. He says I will be the first registered owner if its delivered to me, but surely not...
