March 2, 201610 yr Anyone have any experience of this brand? Looking at the six50 e, seems good value with the 500wh Bosch system.
March 2, 201610 yr 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. .
March 2, 201610 yr 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.
March 2, 201610 yr 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. Link to announcement Maybe buy in Germany and catching the Eurostar or ferry back as some have already done? .
March 2, 201610 yr Author From eBay. I wasn't sure on whether posting links was allowed so didn't in the first instance. Here it is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bulls-Six50-E-1-5-46-cm-E-bike-Pedelec-Mtb-Bosch-Performence-CX-Modell-2016-Neu-/281847143317?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
March 2, 201610 yr 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.
March 2, 201610 yr Author Yeah I just saw the thread about the cube for £1500 cash and made an enquiry. Thanks
March 2, 201610 yr Here I was reading "Bulls hit electric bike"... They are pretty but 24 kg! With no mudguards! Is the brose made of lead?
March 6, 201610 yr 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.
April 29, 20169 yr 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.

May 2, 20169 yr 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 are a respected German make Eddie, here's a link to all their very large range of bikes and e-bikes. . ...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. Edited May 2, 20169 yr by james@justebikes.co.uk
May 3, 20169 yr http://justebikes.co.uk/products/bulls-e-stream-evo-45-speed/ "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?
May 3, 20169 yr I like the look of the Brose system. However I don't have any local dealers and am put off by lack of information compared to Yamaha and Bosch. If buying on-line what happens if I have a fault or problem with the electrics my local shop can't fix? Also will it be a problem to buy a replacement battery in x years time? Bulls E-Stream evo 3 FS 27.5 looks perfect for me. Anyone know what the controls / display are like on the Bulls Brose bikes?
May 3, 20169 yr How reliable are the brose motors as you don't hear much about them. http://www.brose.com/en/

Just to confirm will this also need a registration plate etc. even if ridden on green lanes / bridleways? Wicky....but you cannot register them,there is no mechanism within VOSA to register S-class Pedelecs,that is the eternal problem. Don't know whether the new Pedelecs type approval intended to be introduced prior to Jan 2018 will encompass S-class. That doesn't help self builds which could usefully use a classification under SVA. At the moment unless you want to convert your S-class into a mini moped ( some have tried,In my opinion the results are not attractive),you cannot register an S-class e-bike in the UK. KudosDave

Just to confirm will this also need a registration plate etc. even if ridden on green lanes / bridleways? I note that it's still a 250w motor so I'm assuming it's a software upgrade to raise the limiter. If so can this software be applied to all Brose motors? If applied how would anyone know unless they ride the bike ? The motor will say 250w. Seems a strange one as most S pedelec are 350w or higher
May 3, 20169 yr http://www.brose.com/en/ Thanks,but I'm talking about there use and reliability in ebikes as it would be good to hear from any forum members that own one.
