February 13, 201412 yr 'The Range' are offering a new electric bike under the brand name 'Silent Force' for £499.99 inc delivery. It has a stepthrough frame, lights and comes in silver. But wait, there is more... The pedals flash as they turn. Click Here - Link

February 13, 201412 yr The Range seem to be claiming a range of 50 - 100KM. The other one gives 40 - 45 !!
February 13, 201412 yr Found this link on the Silent Force website; these details appear to relate to the bike on The Range website. Click Here - Link That's a somewhat different model though, no full chaincase and lighter. The Range is listed as a shocking 34 kilos, far too heavy for a three speed e-bike these days.
February 13, 201412 yr There's no way that bike weighs 35kg. That must be the shipping weight. I wouldn;t worry abbout the 180w either. That's just to show that it's legal. That motor'll be good for 900w. If the controller isn't the standard 15 amps, a bit of solder on the shunt will soon make it so. I think it looks like a nice bike that should get a few started on electric.
February 13, 201412 yr Can't be all bad: http://www.bike-eu.com/Home/General/2009/3/Silent-Force-Starts-e-Bike-Production-in-Malaysia--BIK003287W/
February 13, 201412 yr There's no way that bike weighs 35kg. My first thought too, but with some continental step-throughs nudging 30 kilos I didn't rule it right out. I agree a good starter bike at that attractive price.
February 13, 201412 yr I agree a good starter bike at that attractive price. Not if you buy it in Germany:confused: http://www.tempo.ag/Elektrofahrraeder/Silent-Force/Elektrofahrrad-SF103-von-Silent-Force.html?XTCsid=546i7jjh07mi2b4fjf2s3500h7
February 13, 201412 yr full specs: http://www.silent-force.eu/Espanol/producten/Fietsen/electrical_bike_SF0103/ 25kg, 3-speed hub gear, fully enclosed chain. It's on special offers, roughly half shop price - buy it before they all go!

February 13, 201412 yr That is the deluxe model so makes the price difference even more:confused: http://www.silent-force.eu/producten/Fietsen/SF0103_flyer/ Edited February 13, 201412 yr by shemozzle999

February 13, 201412 yr Can't argue against that:) Good find Mrke! Edited February 13, 201412 yr by shemozzle999
February 17, 201412 yr been looking for something that even resembles an eZee cadence and this does, won't be quite as powerful but I think I might just order it what a price! does anyone know how much and where you would buy the replacement battery though? also does it have twist grip throttle? (I see a red button - touch throttle or gear switch) if it has throttle I'm ordering thanks Edited February 17, 201412 yr by mjwobble
February 17, 201412 yr and if I remember correctly, you have quite a lot of hills? this bike has a weak motor.
February 17, 201412 yr Hi mjwobble, A better and more practical. alternative to the Cadence for your terrain around Halifax would be an eZee Torq or eZee Sprint, they are of course much more expensive than the bike you are looking at. Although the Cadence has the same powerful motor as the rest of the eZee range it is really a beach cruiser, not a hill climber.
February 17, 201412 yr item has been removed, there was a cadence on Ebay the other week but it was faulty, annoying. the eZee motors are classy I just love the cruiser style it is very hilly around here yes and there's some incredible rides, a Cadence with a 20ah would be the dream setup - if you get one let me know!!!

I've got one, it used to be yours;) It has been rebuilt with a new motor, controller, new tyres, larger chainring and wiring etc., it also has 2 x 10Ah batteries and now looks like this. The latest Cadence with a 20Ah battery would cost £1545 and we don't have any in stock. That does not mean would couldn't get one. I still think that a Torq or Sprint would be be a better option for you. The one that you saw on Ebay belonged to a guy from the Bristol area and The Electric Transport Shop contacted me about some new parts for it but they did not respond to my emails, so I guess he gave up.

I've tried quite a few bikes now and nothing comes close to that smooth Cadence
February 17, 201412 yr take it you don't fancy selling that back to me then that was the bargain of the century I'm happy to see it's been treated very well how long would it take to get a 20ah cadence? just out of curiosity. I've tried quite a few bikes now and nothing comes close to that smooth Cadence Not quite a bargain when you consider all the work that went into it as detailed above which also included rebuilding both wheels, replacing the original battery and getting 2 new Schwalbe Big Apple Plus tyres from Germany. It's not really for sale as it is my daily transport unless you make me an offer I can't refuse;) You could have a new Cadence in 8 to 10 weeks, but I would need to know ASAP as I shall be placing a stock order at the end of the week.
February 17, 201412 yr The eZee Cadence is truly a very special e-bike for the loyalty it inspires in those who try it and like it. I remember a pedelecs member in 2007 who having tried one previously wanted to buy one, but that was just at the point when it had been discontinued in the UK by the importer, simplifying their range. He considered all the other options, but just couldn't reconcile himself to anything else, so he persuaded the importer to bring one from China especially for him. Since then the Cadence has been much improved of course, not least with a better more powerful motor. Few e-bikes have that sort of irreplaceability and enjoy that loyalty, also shown by mjwobble in this thread. Edited February 17, 201412 yr by flecc
February 17, 201412 yr We tend to stock the more popular models, but will bend over backwards to get a customer what they want. Just this morning a customer has requested a Forza stepthru RWD, not a model that we normally stock and it isn't even on our website yet, but we will get one if he confirms an order. It is new model that can specified with FWD or RWD and the only photo we have so far is of the FWD version.
