Hi, looking at getting an e-bike to do around 7 mile round trip through city centre (relatively flat but can feel the slight hills on a normal bike). Was looking into converting but at the price it would cost to convert I could get something like this. Haven’t seen many online reviews other than on the Argos website so just wondering if people have experience with these bikes and if they’re worth it (found a brand new one on FB marketplace for £300).
TIA
I bought two E-Moves from Argos. One was an Emove with gears and a downtube battery. It's be brilliant - no issues at all, and very nice to ride. It was a bargain at £340. The other is a 20" folding one. It's brakes were poorly set up, and the battery switch failed after a few presses, but I got it half price at £235, so I'm not complaining.
The bike you linked to has no gears and a battery inside the frame tube. They don't say the capacity of the battery, but at only 1.5kg, it won't have a lot of capacity. Without looking at the battery, I can't be sure, but there might be a problem to get a replacement when the time comes, so I'd pay the extra £75 for this one, which has a standard battery with 33% more capacity and gears:
The one you linked might be OK if you don't weigh much. It's pretty light, so with the help of the motor, you wouldn't need gears.
