Aha sorry I didnt read the spec... Can I just say a big thank you to everyone who has helped with the advice... I have gone ahead and comitted to buying one and am really looking forward to getting it... At the end of the day it will suit my needs I dont want something that can get me up a...

Out of stock though but that looks a great price if its the same as the Quartz (the older pre LCD one)... The Quartz LCD is £899 + £25 delivery... Interesting to see the max capacity rated as 10kg lower for the same bike though which confirms Fleccs observations earlier...

Other fat blokes you mean ? :) Will do a review on the whole experience yes. Thanks again :)

Thanks everso much for all your advice Flecc I have decided to save the money and go for the pro rider...they have sent me in writing a promise to honour the warranty at my full weight bearing in mind I am 45 years old and not going to be doing stunts and bumping up kerbs on it... Its the...

Yes I see...I do intend to los a lot of my weight this year... the Batribike works out at £924 with delivery the 100kg one is £559 including delivery and they are only and its a collect and return warranty if there are problems... I was thinking if the firm will still honour the warranty...

Right then... back to the Batribike then lol...:) I got it onto my head that the weight capacity wasnt set in stone and that some are over or understated for safety reasons for some reason but yes you are right... :)

It looks very similar to the Batribike Breeze so I have emailed for the replacement battery price and to see if my weight would invalidate thier super duper warranty.

That looks a good bike and cheap too... the warranty looks fantastic ! Sugar... now I am wondering what to do again.... lol :)

Hi I think the nearest dealer is an hours drive each way... We are just off junction 28 of the M1 Thoughts on buying a proper one instead of a folder are: I cant really up the budget by much over £1000 and I think I really need a folding bike as when we go away like to Scarborough or...

Thanks for the advice Flecc... I was almost there... just had a last hesitation... I will contact Batribike tomorrow I think... Not sure whether to buy direct from thier website but I suppose that would be ok perhaps I will ring first... To be honest I would like a normal frame or even better...

Thanks Flecc... Just out of curiosity... with you knowing what you know... what would you buy in my position (if you can imagine being 120kg that is :) ) as I really cant decide...? if I could be so bold as to as such a personal question that is.. ? I dont really want to spend more than a...

Thanks for that...I sort of mostly I inderstand how they work I just want to buy the right bike, the idea is to get the best value bike for my needs so I can excercise but also be able to travel further without getting tired until I am fitter, the hill to my premises is pretty steep you see even...

I just noticed that they have a folding model on the Batribike site called the "Breeze" also which is £150 cheaper and also carries 130kg so I might have a compare of that one also but it doesnt have a rack mounted battery... I have emailed Batribike for prices on replacement batteries...

Thanks for the good advice, they all look good bikes... So far the Batribike Quartz LCD looks the best bet weight wise as its a folder and carries 130kg officially !! thats me plus I will be able to carry some extra to and from work... As Flecc says there is probably some degree of safety...

Hi All. Pretty new to electric bikes and the forum this is my second thread... I am looking for a bike that will carry 120kg plus a bit more if possible (I am 18 and a half to 19 stone (see "too fat") or so and 6 foot tall... Budget started at £1000 max but would pay more if the bike...

I really like the bike but its out of my price range really I think... I went out on my partners Izip today and although I got up a steep hill on it it really struggled with my weight... quite please with it for the price I paid though... especially now I know I can replace the batteries myself...

Crumbs! It must put a lot of people off buying electric bikes, I am not short of a few quid but £500 for a battery that you throw away doesnt make much sense to me... it would be cheaper to use taxis or run the car... Is there an electric bike that will pull a heavy bloke that has cheap to...

That sounds hopeful thanks for the tips... I will get it built up for the workers if thats all the batteries cost... By the time I have claimed back the VAT on it through the business it wont have cost me a lot. As for my own bike I have been looking at the AlienOcean Typhoon as there doesnt...

Hi all... my first post... I recently decided to buy an electric bike for my workers and I (mostly for me to try and lose weight and get around more with but if I let the workers use it then I can class it as a business buy) for going back and forth between my workplaces/premises...
