Blimey! How much cheaper can they go! That even beats the old Cyclamatic £399 price which was outstandingly cheap... wouldn't expect much for £300 quid or it to last long eh, but you never know the Cyclamatic turned out to be a robust and decent bike for the money.

Worth noting this:

E6000

Motor: 250W Blushed motor

Battery:36V 12Ah Lead-acid batteries

Maybe not such a bargain after all as they have brushed motors and lead acid batteries............

The weights quoted seem suspect, net weight 25 kgs, gross weight 28 kgs. The SLA battery will be far heavier than that difference, so I think the gross weight is likely to be well over 30 kgs, possibly 38 kgs, not unusual for an SLA e-bike.

Agreed not for the connoisseur but may be suitable for someone on a tight budget.
Weight would only come into play if it breaks down.

The Powabyke Euros are also very heavy, which makes them difficult to get out of the shed etc., but they last for years and are very strong climbers. The motor in this bike looks massive, so it should also be a good climber. I bet it would go rather well if you chucked the SLAs and put 14S lipos in the box with a 48v controller, and you'd still have change out of £500.
