Bulls electric bikes

[Richy]

Anyone have any experience of this brand?

Looking at the six50 e, seems good value with the 500wh Bosch system.

How much are they, and where from?

They are a respected German make Eddie, here's a link to all their very large range of bikes and e-bikes.

Thanks flecc

I already knew that, but was just wondering how it was to be considered good value, without knowing the price, or where it was being purchased.

I misunderstood your "where from" Eddie. I see that Americans can now buy them online as Bull research that market.

Maybe buy in Germany and catching the Eurostar or ferry back as some have already done?

From eBay. I wasn't sure on whether posting links was allowed so didn't in the first instance. Here it is:

Decent spec naked Bosch mountain bike for about £2,000.

Similar spec Cube bikes are available for similar money from UK dealers - a couple of members on here have them.

I can't see the point of buying from Germany in this case.

 

[Richy]

Yeah I just saw the thread about the cube for £1500 cash and made an enquiry. Thanks

Here I was reading "Bulls hit electric bike"...

They are pretty but 24 kg! With no mudguards! Is the brose made of lead?

 

[Crockers]

I actually emailed Bulls to see if they have any UK dealers......nope.

 

[EddiePJ]

I'd opt for a KTM, Cube or Trek before looking at a Bulls.

There isn't enough of a price difference to make it worth risking the potential hassle when things go wrong.

Hi Crockery, BULLS e-bikes are available at our stores in Leiston, London and Leicester. Alas some of the very popular BROSE powered models have already sold out and the rest will likely be gone before summer - BULLS underestimated demand, but there are more in the production pipline.

This looks a stunner.

Yehbut 650wh batteries weigh more than 400wh batteries no?

Just off the phone with Martin Cronk from Justebikes Leicester ...needles to say they're all celebrating up there ...to mark the occasion Martin is offering 10% off for all BULLS e-bike orders placed this week!

...they ship ...wait for it ...2000 bikes a day from their Koln distribution centre ...it's like amazon HQ there, bikes left and right and flying over your head on rails. ZEG, designers builders and owners of BULLS and Hercules (to name two) was founded by 5 humble bike dealers in the 50's ...as a coop. And it's still a coop today, a cooperative turning over 1'000'000'000 euros a year.

"As with all Speed pedelecs this high speed e-bikes you need to hold a driving license, have insurance and register the e-bike with the DVLA to use it on public highways."

Just to confirm will this also need a registration plate etc. even if ridden on green lanes / bridleways?

 

[anotherkiwi]

Yes

How reliable are the brose motors as you don't hear much about them.
