June 20, 20241 yr You don't say what you want it for, how and where you'll be riding it, and how heavy/fit you are. Be especially careful with range estimates on any cheap ebikes. They are bad enough on expensive bikes, but VERY misleading on cheap ones which typically have very small batteries. They are usually 'up to' ranges; with lowest level of assist, light rider in perfect conditions, flat, good surface, fully pumped up types, etc. Real range might well be 1/3 stated range with moderate assist in realistic conditions;.

Want to really upset shop staff When you see an advert in the window saying "Up to 50%/60% or 75% off" Go in and ask to be shown the ones with 50%/60% or 75% off If a bike states 45 miles and not "up to" ask them if they will guarantee that on the sales receipt.
June 20, 20241 yr What are the most budget-friendly e-bike options in the UK? Can you recommend any brands or local stores?...... Most budget friendly and best value for money probably would be DIY conversion. Prices of motors and batteries are somehow going down. I have never seen them so low before.
June 20, 20241 yr What is missing on that picture? [ATTACH type=full" alt="58305]58305[/ATTACH] Yes, I see it. The Dark Green Fritillary is extremely endangered now. Soon, they'll be missing from everywhere thanks to cars driving across their breeding meadows.
June 21, 20241 yr Author Most budget friendly and best value for money probably would be DIY conversion. Prices of motors and batteries are somehow going down. I have never seen them so low before. What do you think of some brands with motor like Ananda or Bafang? They are actually cheap.
June 21, 20241 yr Do you have a large Decathlon store near? Look, try, chat before buying there or anywhere else.
June 21, 20241 yr What do you think of some brands with motor like Ananda or Bafang? They are actually cheap. I like Ananda, but they sell OEM products only as far as I am aware, so not really easy to repair. Bafang offers great products and good amount of spare parts. I wouldn't call their products cheap.
June 21, 20241 yr If one wants functional stuff that can be repaired then stay away from OEM stuuf and mid drives, with any OEM motor system one is tied to the seller , Woosh and Wisper are ok as they will keep spares as will other main stream EAPC only sellers. The main issue with spares will be your cheap ebay, Amazon, Argos or other retailers on the street or online who tbh know little about these bikes or have spares. Bafang are a recognised large player in control sytems and motors, with their hub bikes one can always find a better control system by using a KT system.
June 21, 20241 yr If you are on a budget, check https://www.pswpower.com/?DIST=RkVFFFw%3D PSW is my favorite supplier. I am talking about components used to convert bikes, not ready made e-bikes. Personally I find e-bikes available on the market overpriced and not a good value for money. Woosh would be another place to check if you are looking for powerful legal motors, but prices are significantly higher. Edited June 21, 20241 yr by Az.
June 21, 20241 yr Author What are your plans if I might ask? Hub motor or mid drive? Road or off road? off-road, mid drive can be fine
June 21, 20241 yr off-road, mid drive can be fine You asked for budget-friendly. What's going on. If you want a bike for a specific purpose, say what it is, or do you already have one in mind that you want to shill under the guise of a question?
June 21, 20241 yr Author You asked for budget-friendly. What's going on. If you want a bike for a specific purpose, say what it is, or do you already have one in mind that you want to shill under the guise of a question? what about NCM, Fischer such brands? just for weekly hiking
June 21, 20241 yr what about NCM, Fischer such brands? just for weekly hiking Those ones I showed you are a lot more budget friendly. Why would you want to spend more?
