Would these be any good for occational use with Motorhome?

[AlanB]

Hi, saw these on Amazon, they look OK for occational use when we're out with our Motorhome our bike rack is rated at 85kg so weight shouldn't be an issue for it.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

You currently won't find a cheaper ebike. Take the batteries off when on the rack to reduce weight and deter thieves with a decent lock around both bikes and rack.
36v, 10ah batteries, so not bad, and a 40nm motor. remove the front rack etc to reduce weight further

At that price and spec you can't go far wrong and the enclosed chain ensures many years of low maintenance. Just remember to look after the batteries during the long off season periods of not using them. Do a short top up charge from time to time, preferably every second month not used to ensure the cells don't die.

Thank you for the speedy replies and sensible advice, I have ordered 2 bikes.
Hopefully we will have some fun with these

That pricing is quite unbelievable in todays market , the base bike without the electonics must be < £100 . The Ananda's are OEM electronics only so if any part goes wrong don't expect to much help if spares are needed unless the vendor can help.

I bought Shiano E-Moon bike on Amazon few days ago . Fantastic value for money. Don't wait to long as price will go up very quickly as it went on other Shiano bikes.

Edit: You can add 2 year warranty at checkout for £14 as far as I remember. Also great price

Also a great deal, 7 speed and larger 13ah battery for £50 more

Go a bit careful with their use as the Ananda motors of years gone were a little fragile. For bimbling along on flatish terrain they should be excellant value for money when compared to like bikes that may cost 5x or more.

Same name, but different specs. Was £404, £860 now.

nice, cheaper and with nexus 7 speed, great deal

Shame they only seem to sell the Large frame, wife is 5ft 2in and the Medium would be better using their size chart.

 

[Az.]

My thoughts exactly. Especially if you plan to use suspension seat post as it will raise saddle even more.

 

[Encantador]

Decided to buy one and try it for size. Had a nasty wake up call when it arrived at 6.20am today. Not opened the box yet. Hoping there is a decent video somewhere. E-Moon in black, 7 gears (she never uses gears) 13Ah battery.

Anyone built one yet, any tips?

 

[AlanB]

Still waiting for ours to arrive, should be tomorrow, I noticed the price has increased from £356 to £829 now, just goes to show the profit margin on these electric bikes, hope your assembly goes well.

 

[Encantador]

All done, only issue is rear brakes need adjusting. Impressed so far.
No UK plug, just need a 2 pin adaptor.
No tools included, only a screwdriver, couple of allen keys and spanner for the pedals required, plus pump for tyres.

 

[Nealh]

Enjoy your new bikes and don't forget to let us know what you think of them once ridden a few times.
Well done to all those who snagged one at or about the £400 mark.

 

[Az.]

any tips?

Yes.
Selling things with UN plug in UK is against the law and against Amazon policy. Open a chat with customer service and complain to get up to 25% discount.

Edit:
You will get a discount, I am 100% positive. How big it depends on how hard you play it and with whom you talk to. They broke the law and they know it. It is not a big thing, it is super easy to replace plug, but law is a law and policy is a policy.

Thanks for letting me know about the tools required I'm sure I have them all in the garage, do they have a normal car type valve on the tyres?

Yes I will keep you posted, thanks

do they have a normal car type valve on the tyres?

Yes, shradder valve. If you have a pump it is most likely you have all you need there.

Maybe the extra is for a UK plug.
