Many of you British are indeed funny people. I just cannot fancy the nations of your island bred so many fantastic cyclists
I have the same reaction every time is see your pic
Kay, most of people I could see in Britain cycled either road bikes (kudos to them!) or the Chinese contraptions you have just shown. What is wrong with the British?

We are not a nation of cyclists. We prefer cars. Cyclists are seen by most as a uninsured, non road tax paying annoyance
Probably a good thing because older men who dress like you on your bike would be publicly beaten or arrested for public indecency
My 14 year old nephew likes the bike. I have nothing against Chinese bikes though. I want a bafang ultra powered bike.

Chris Froome or Mark Cavendish ringing the bell?
Have you heard about a 12-yo daughter of American lawyers killed on a Chinese crap from Rad Power Bikes?
Any e-bike battery fires around?
K78: I would not let a friend buy a Bafang. Buy something good. Unless you cannot afford your heating bill

They’re a bunch of Lycra wearing weirdos. At least they don’t have to cut theirs off like some guys on here
You‘re brave. I know fat shaming is still strong in polish society.
I nearly bought a Bosch powered bike until I read about the hassle deristricting.
Looked at other bikes and the only one with decent warranty is specialized, then I read about Brose motor reliability.
No issues with my heating bill thanks. Brits are very well paid compared to Poles which is why so many of you are here.

I'm fat myself. What's the point? I at least keep my weight by pedalling.
I agree.
Would you believe I still ride the same Specialized e-bike built in 2017 and bought in 2019 because Specialized applied the warranty as often as two times and eventually upgraded my 2017 Vado 5.0 to the current Vado 6.0?
I simply cannot get why you need to be ridden by a Chinese illegal mini motorcycle instead of being assisted on a proper pedal-assist e-bike?
I initially looked at buying a used Bosch Emtb, but the prices are so high it’s pointless buying used. People are asking 75% of rrp for beat up bikes with no warranty.
I was going to buy a new cube bike but the 2 year frame warranty and issues derestricting put me off. I dont want a bike that throws fault codes and makes me pedal for 90 mins unassisted. 15.5 mph isn’t for me. It’s ridiculous.
I nearly bought a Kenevo in the sale but found that fitting a larger front chain ring wasn’t possible.
The more I read, the more I think the bafang m620 is the best motor. Powerful, pedal assist, easy to repair and service. No error codes.
Ive been looking at various Chinese frames, but I only like the E22. The aluminium frames I’ve seen all look very similar to the cheap, generic Amazon rear hub drive bikes.
Im starting to think my best option to buy an older used bike, ditch the motor/battery and fit a bafang m620 and a custom battery.
Just need to find out which bikes can take a large front chain ring.
