I have finally got an electric bike it's not what i wanted but it was brand new for £200 unfortunatley the battery seems to only give around 5 miles on flatish ground before it starts to pulse and only gives enough power for around 7.5 mph .
The old gentelman that I bought it off had not even assembled the bike but I think it must of stood for a while as the battery is not performing well enough it has now had three full charges but no real improvement.

It is my crafty plan to prove to everyone that I serious about using an electric bike to get to work and back and in doing so to save a bit of money so I can get a much better bike like a kalkoff.

It has 12v 8ah 5hr batterys the dimensions are h 100 w 110 d 87.
the only markings on the battery are 5110410307240 and xk06-044-00367
the battery slides down the inside of the frame and can best be described as generic and is the same one used in lots of cheap bikes though mine is the sla version .
This is the same bike with better battery on ebay "
ELECTRIC BIKE MOUNTAIN E BIKE BICYCLE FULL SUSPENSION"

The journey I need to cover is only 6 miles each way and I can charge at work but it is best considered very off road and moderatley hilly so I think if the sla battery was working well it should be able to cope .
