Much the same chaotic customer service going on as the reviews seem to indicate

Looks like a Malaysian company operating out of a German front.

Looks very dodgy indeed as they are also operating out of a UK front
& a Swedish front
& a Dutch front
& a French front
& an Italian front
etc...

Are you sure you want that one? You'll get withdrawal symptoms in a couple of years with no battery to replace.

(Actually I think you are quite right to go for a non-e bike).

Hi thanks for info , I was looking at another bike which had 7 speed shimano gearing in hub as well as bike rack on back for pannier bag and had suspension on front fork
as well as comfy leather seat with springs . im not into an e bike at all personally ..costs of replacement for batteries is a bit much I feel , but also they tend to have problems in which some bike companies don't mind, as people then end up taking their e bikes in to get fixed and at a cost again ..with a non e-bike u don't have them problems

I do understand e bikes are all good when working fine but your having to check on such all time and I cant be done with all that .

Our Raleigh Motus has got all that (as well as a four year old battery). Enjoy whatever,

I have tried twice in the past following rec's form the forum to use them but I wasn't able to access the final payments page, I decided something was a miss and have never bothered with the site again.

I'd generally go with bike-discount.de anyway. They are excellent

Looks an eminently sensible bike; and almost certainly very good quality. Trust you to come up with the push version of one of the most unreliable ebikes regularly mentioned in this forum.
