Hi bmd....it might help if you say which area you are in and which style you are looking for........crossbar or step thru for instance ?

Hi Lynda,

i would say crossbar firstly, but would think the step through makes it easier to get on the bike.

Its a case of horses for courses and a lot depends on health and fitness......lots of men ride step thrus in these days of equality....they are certainly easier to get your leg over.....figuratively speaking :cool:
Now we just need to know where you are.....north, south, east or west ? lol
You really need to be fairly close to anyone who may have an available bike ;)

but willing to travel

Ah....good, you are near large populations and hopefully quite a few forum members.... so now you might get inundated with offers....fingers crossed :)

I think your budget's a bit low. £350 would be more like it. You can often pick up the old lead batteried bikes from about £60 - £120 with knackered batteries. Then £75 -£100 for new batteries gets you going again,but they're a bit of a gamble if totally not working because they could have other problems.

Plenty of powabykes on eBay at the moment. Unless explicitly stated as new, I would assume the batteries are past their best, and allow £100 for new ones. I think they use 3x12v/12ah.
