I've had one of these for the last 4 years.
Pros - effortless riding and very handy.
Cons - heavy to lift - not easy to pedal when battery goes flat - needs an EHU to keep it charged up - costs £200-£300 to replace battery (mine is starting to fail with a much reduced range )

There are companies that rebuild batteries, try a "Google" search

Thanks for all the info, I have spoken to my local Batribike dealer and they said they sold 62 bikes in a year.

Cheers

I've been looking at these bikes as well.
Every Dealer that I've been to is keen to sell me a bike but I have never seen the same manufacturer twice.
Our local shop warned me that a lot of these manufacturers do not have any spares back up. There are a lot of bikes on ebay and if there's any hint of electrical problems, forget it
I've tried to find out which bike had the greatest volume sales in the Netherlands as electric bikes are a growth market there but no luck so far

I have a connect folding electric bike which I have used all summer and i bought it for £599 in Halfords. It is brilliant for using at campsites and going on longer journeys if you dont have the health to ride an ordinary bike. You will get about 20-30 miles from some batteries and they can be charged overnight.

Thanks for all your info

Afternoon Logan5

I have had a operation on my knee which has played up for years and I will have the option to make it easier when I need it, I will mainly be going in to the local village for shopping but mainly on tarmac.

Cheers

Paul
