Hi Pammy, not all ebikes are the same, they make look similar but so many are coming from China and other asian countries beware of longevity! Good ebikes in the main are not cheap, so quality and good after sales service and availability of spares are essential. They do break down occasionally, but as many have said some are British in design and have been tested and meet current EU and UK Laws. Good luck, search for a dealer to have test ride before you buy.
