Bargain Tonaros on Ebay

[GaRRy]

Update - I just got a message from the seller to apologise that the Bighits are sold out and an offer of an Enduro or a refund... I chose the refund as the Enduro as good as I'm sure it is, it is not what I am looking for. So I guess I'll stay on pedal power alone for now.

weird as listing still shows one as available ????

I am sure you will have great fun riding it. Just a note of caution though, the magnet on the rear wheel can easily come adrift causing the bike to go faster. Once lost the magnet is very difficult to replace - only today I was in CarpetRight and was astonished to discover that they didn't stock replacement magnets either!

Thanks Willin.....that saves me another wasted journey lol

Just a word of advice....if i was you I would wait a week or maybe less, then check ebay again for another seller with Bighits
I have a 'feeling' you might strike lucky.........

I know... I phoned them and they replied that e-bay takes a while to update! All Bighits had gone to "credit card" sales

In a word beelox.

What they done is sold some of them outside of eBay (to avoid eBay fees) and dont know how to reduce the qty still available on eBay. Good luck to them for avoiding eBays extortion but better hope they dont find out

 

[eddieo]

any idea what the warranty and back up from a wooden door merchant is like....

Surely better to stick with powerpedels

Yes, well said, Eddie. Trouble with backstreet merchants is that problems are later referred to the official importer who made nothing on the original deal.In fact he could be put out of business and we'd all be the loser.Pay the proper price;they are not expensive!

LOL......OK...well, another hint....... if you decide to go for a different Tonaro model may I suggest you contact a certain renowned 'easy going' member of this forum who may be able to help you along with a full warranty and excellent customer service reputation....

Clue.....Milton Keynes......the rest is up to you

Totally with you on this one Eddio. (And when Eddio and Tonaros get mixed, that is a rarity!!!!

Well, it's a gamble. With most things, if you get it cheap from an unknown importer but you are sure it's the real thing and not a knocked-together copy, you can undertake your own warranty repairs. All you need is a clue.
Chances are these will last fine.

 

[funkylyn]

Oh and another thing.......as well as the few reduced priced, AND genuine, Tonaro Compy's and Enduros, WITH full warranty, in Milton Keynes ( so not such a gamble at all there lol )........keep a look out for maybe, possibly, a few Bighits appearing in the Staffordshire area.........

Great how popular these Tonaros are getting all of a sudden isnt it......just proves how really good they are, but then, they ARE unique with their throttle and crank drive

Maybe as a ready-made bike, but my GNG kit bike has a throttle and crankrive and it'll beat yours in a race any day, and it'll go faster up hills. Maybe yours would win if we chucked them in the canal to see whos would sink fastest though ;-(

I hope that's not one of those I tries for @£849 (with free delivery) that is being sold on (collection only)... seems a bit of a coincidence!

looks like the Enduro frame with a hub drive... and dynamo!

Lynda, I was offered an Enduro at the same (£849) as the Bighit but it's the Bighit I'm really after

Yep...sure is....same bike....different owner...he bought all the Bighits....so my 'crystal ball' tells me

If you really want a Bighit you should jump at it really, whilst its that price...they wont last long.
I prefer the Enduro myself.
