Hi Vidtek, there's only one hub geared folding electric bike that I'm aware of for less than £1000. Are you planning to buy online or visit a shop?
We have very little choice here in Bournemouth, no dealerships here have a decent selection of e-bikes, so it's going to have to be an online affair.
I've already purchased a Whoosh bikes Sunbear online, and am very happy with it, I also got a Kudos Safari for the wife, but she hated it, much too heavy for her. She's 7 stone and very wiry and strong for a nearly 60 year old, but the Safari was just too cumbersome for her, so I sold it at a huge loss the other day.
It's put her off cycling as she fell off it and is now a bit wary of all bikes. I'm hoping to be able to find one that I could get her to try for a couple of days before I actually have to purchase, but to get a folder on hire is a tall order I think.
Cheers, Tony.
