Thread: Off-road e bike

Just picked this up today. Had a little ride around at home and goes real well with full throttle mode. Going to give it a good test in CNI this weekend. Anyone else used one to hunt off

?

So the frame folds inhalf just infront of the seat stem? What sort if range if not using it at full power?

My 80 year old neighbour has the same - I worried he will can off and possible do a hip or something

Yep all folds down. Battery will take you as far as 100km on a single charge according to the specs

48V 19.2Ah battery

is anyone else reminded of the great honda 110 stepthrough of yesteryear????

that looks like a serious weapon... please post up how you got on.

@Micky Duck honda are putting out a new 125 am sure you would be able to buy a few off these bikes for the price of a honda

my old mate has the same bike he suffers from the bends after a diving accident 30 years ago and has to drag one leg to walk the bike gave him a new lease of life

All manufacturers quote distance on absolutely flat terrain. Start doing serious hills and you'll get 30-40km out of it

Yeah I’ll see how it goes with distance over the weekend. 30 or 40km is still plenty to get me into camp and back

Looks good. What would something like that set you back?

What sort of dollars?
I have been giving an Ebike some serious thought of late but more looking at fulky suspended MTB than cargo type bikes.

@vietnamcam I picked it up off trademe for $2200 off an old fella who had ridden it for 15km and hadn’t used it again. They are $2550 new

FIL recently sold his Cherokee Chief, he wasn't getting the economy this one seems to offer. It was good off-road though.

I had a ct110 in mint showroom condition but sold it as rego was too expensive. Enquired about the UBCO bikes (rrp about $7k) and walked after being told they were quite heavy and claimed range was at lower speeds on flat sealed surface. They will eat the Kw when raced over undulating terrain. Currently investigating the fat tyred bike like on this thread as they would be suitable to fit on the caravan tow bar. I’d be interested in how you find this machine works out.
