Having bought my first ebike a few weeks a go , I now have two. My neighbour was putting a bike into a skip, it looked in not too bad nick, so I asked if I could have it (looking to make £20 on Gumtree). Well, the Gods were looking down on me as it turned out to be an ebike. Its a three speed(!) powabyke, lead acid batteries ( which weigh a ton) and a key switched controller mounted on top of the handlebars.

I got the battery off and checked the voltage, Hmm 1.4v. An hour or so of charging (charger was fortunately strapped to the rack) has got it up to 17v, so I will leave it overnight.

Has anyone any idea what model it is? powabyke don't seem to have manuals on their website, so if anyone has one it would be appreciated.
