Hi,
I've just bought this one http://www.voltbikes.co.uk/alpine-x-electric-mountain-bike.php

I think it is very good. Also a cheaper one there for about 1300 I think. Throttle works perfectly.
Just looking for a way to remove the speed limiter now.

Brill whys the pedal assist like has it got alot of torque or more smooth/gradual also what's the quality like does it feel tough? And does the throttle take you up to the 15.5mph?

If on flat surface throttle will take you right to the 15mph limit, if I can figure out how to remove the limit it would take you way above.
Pedal assist gives instant power after about half a pedal turn and depending on the setting (1 to 5) determins the power. It's really cool. Also bike feels very well built and customer service is apparently their strong point although I haven't had to use that yet.

Great will enquire with my local dealer. In the mean time if anyone has some more suggestions that would bemuch appreciated maybe some full sus options.

all the woosh bikes have full power throttle.
The ones with LCD are capable of taking you to legal speed limit, take your pick. If you are heavy, the Big Bear or £799 Big Bear LS are very good.

Hi Bikesman,

All eZee bikes are dual mode with PAS and throttle that takes you up to the limit.
They are quite capable off road provided the correct tyres are fitted.

You can see the range here http://www.cyclezee.com/ezee-e-bikes--pedelecs.html

Thanks, tbh it's the first electric bike I have ridden but I love it.
I have only taken it out twice so far (only had it a week) but both times were very hilly terrain (live in wales) for 12 miles and only used 25% battery. The claimed range is 80 miles from the 16 ah lipo pack.

They do have a few dealers across the UK but your better off speaking to volt bikes directly, they are really helpful. I bought my bike direct and they delivered it to my local bike shop to be built up all at their expense.
Apparently my bike will be featured on the gadget show in October .

It's the one with the wacky glasses that puts me off watching it....

A lot of the show is fraudulent. I used to work at PC World. They came to do some filming. They filmed it to look like "undercover secret filming" and told the staff what to say. When it aired they made out they were doing undercover filming. Bad.

I also get the impression the presenters don't really know what they're talking about

It's cringe TV

It's such a pity as I genuinely think there would be a lot of interest in that type of programme if they had better informed, more palatable presenters. As it stands, I rarely watch it as I find it a bit irritating.

Had a look at Volt's website, I like the look of the Volt Continental, will look into that one a bit more I think, but price looks a little punchy....

I've never won any of their competitions either....
I say, bring back Tomorrows World
