Hobbyking Electric Bikes

They seem to be a good price. Interestingly, this one seems to have a hub battery, which I haven't seen for a while:

This one has a Xiongda motor. I guess not 2-speed, but would be worth checking:

they are not shipping to UK addresses at the moment.

They are available from stock in the UK warehouse.
I put the road bike in my basket and it came up as £672 and with stock ok, shipping is an extra 21 odd pounds via Parcel Force.

Odd that they say "sold only for use on private land", despite being UK road legal.

What with the current battery shipping regs, can Parcel Force legally transport these?

The road bike that D8veh has pointed out uses a Mxus rear hub, the blurb says its high speed but no rpm given. I was wondering what the front hub was as it says it has a frame 8.8ah mount battery.

The road bike is legal nom 250w Mxus hub but the mtb isn't as it has nom 350w Xiongda hub.
I expect someone doesn't know what they are doing in respect of the road bike disclaimer.

The road bike is legal 250w Mxus hub but the mtb isn't as it has 350w Xiongda hub hence the disclaimer.

But they have the same footnote on the 250 watt road bike. Maybe it's because its specified that it can be derestricted, but that seems over cautious.

With my Graphenes in the basket/checkout it said PF for delivery option, yesterday when they arrived they came in a 18 tonne white lorry so they get around it by using an independent/private courier as did my previous 2 orders.

Wait until eddie sees the mtb, he will we wincing at the thought of some buying it esp with the top notch Chao Yang tyres .

They used to have a bad web site. The latest "upgrade" managed to make it worse! I have an account but it doesn't remember that I want the site to be in English, money in Euros and the warehouse the EU one.

Take everything you read on there with a very large grain of salt.

On ES the battery gives 7.1ah @33.5v ,7.4ah @32.6v range is about 15/20 miles.
