What annoys me about some posts

[mike killay]

I have ridden a friends Pendleton (Non electric).
It was fine. Obviously styled and painted to appeal to women, it is a nice looking bike.
I tend to take a Dutch approach and consider a bike to be something like a pair of shoes. It enables me to go places.
The Pendleton has a saddle, handlebars, wheels, 3 speed and its a ................er.......bike.
Bikes of this type have now be made for over 100 years and just like a knife fork and spoon set have had all the problems ironed out ages ago.
You get on it, turn the pedals and it goes. You put the brakes on and it stops.
To call it crap is ridiculous.

The guy I bought my Cube from lost over £1k in less than a year.

Yep... not electric. Sold for £82.
What does that tell us about the resale price of secondhand ebikes?

You're looking at it the wrong way round, Soundwave. It's not how much you get back, it's how much you lose. The cost of having the bike is the difference between how much you pay for it and how much you sell it for. For a good used Pendleton, that would be about £200. For a bike like yours bought new, that would be closer to £2000 - ten times as much.

It's the same with everything you buy in a shop, .. we are called consumers for a reason. Did you buy that sofa with the intention of selling it on at a profit?. No you bought it to sit on and watch the telly. Same with any new bike, electrical or push...
