Not a bad little electric bike for the price!

A few positive reviews and a nice price. Might make a good a little commuter, or for popping to the shops... or pub

e-glide E bike ELECTRIC BICYCLE 20" Folding Bike ** BRAND NEW **

Potential buyers, note the comment about the seat post length though.

It looks good for the money, apart from the 24V 8Ah battery.

Agree, although my first ever electric bike was a 24v 9Ah and for a first bike/runabout, did the job admirably.

Looks like a nice buy, but how do they do it for the money.

Most likely buy a container full of bikes from China. Even with overheads and import fees etc., there's still a nice little profit. D8veh could probably tell us what the Chinese manufacturer knocks these out for.

Amazes me how the seller can deliver 26kg of total packaging for less than a tenner.

by China Post?
Tuffnells charge about £35 + VAT for that size and weight.
There is an issue with cheap bikes like this.
The cost of repair.

No, the seller is UK based. Mmmmm, Tuffnells is a sore subject for me. They managed to lose 3 large sacks of cat litter, weighing around 12 kilos each, that I ordered

And you're right, there could be an issue with repair costs or turnaround time with warranty claims. As I mentioned previously, my first bike was a cheapo Cyclamatic and I had thousands of miles of fun with that one.
