literally ordered from them yesterday and just placed a £50+ order with the entertainer. Bah!

Does anyone know if you can use this with the half price toys off too?

Will add one when its live but this is the only one I have right now don't know how it will look printed. Says you can just download the picture and show it on your phone you don't have to print it off if that helps? Will be live in stores from tomorrow but online with the codes from 8pm tonight

Anyone got a picture for printing???

If it stops one cyclist (irrespective of who's to blame) from pulling out when there's a car behind them and being seriously injured or killed then surely it's not a gimmick?

Talking about gimmicks huh?

This is the old version. Great price though, I've got the new one as well and the light is much more visible in daylight. The radar works great though, when you're cycling above 15mph you can't hear cars behind you so is invaluable on the road

These are great, so I can see those roadies ;)

I use a camera enabled drone that I keep hovering approximately 2m above my head facing the traffic behind me, it has infrared capability (for night use) and it projects the video directly to my heads up display. So no need for one of these :p

Thanks for your comments. We’ve had no issues with ours so far. My dads a mechanic (40 years+) and he built the bikes for me, he felt they were surprisingly good quality. I understand better bikes are available but in this price bracket I feel this is the best currently available.

Age has less to do with size than leg length, a short child might require a smaller bike, that's why it's best to buy from a bike shop not online. At a guess I'd say 24" wheels would be required, 20" is likely to be too small and there's no 22" sizes available, 24" is the size my 11 year old uses, my 9 year old is now at the limit on his 20" Hoy bike. mike

'considering the price' is not a good thing on any vehicle where you might be relying on the brakes or gears (this one looks like a single gear though), I'm a keen cyclist and I don't skimp on the quality because if you do you at best you might put them off cycling for life or worst, the thing fails at a critical moment, my father in law insisted on buying my oldest son a cheap bike, within weeks half the gears are no longer available (and design flaws make it impossible to adjust accurately) and the brakes were never that good, what's more the brake levers are short and difficult to reach for a child's hands, I'm hoping it will get stolen, so I can buy a sensible bike without upsetting him. Weight is the other issue, an extra few kg might seem ok to an adult, but it's a much bigger percentage of a child's weight and could put them of cycling, especially if you live in a hilly area, if you've got no gears, be prepared to wreck your knee joints on hills. These are all things to consider when buying for a child. For £100-150 more you get bikes designed for children where the frames are aluminium and the components take into account the different characteristics of a child compared to an adult, what's more buy secondhand and you'll probably save a packet, the resale value on brands like Islabike, Frog and Hoy are good enough, you'll barely lose money. You can get some bargain bikes, just be warned that most are far from a bargain. mike

after something for an 11 year old - realise this is small but find bike measurements very confusing for buying online...frame size or wheel size often quoted whithout even specifying frame or wheels and dont seem consistent. I reckon he needs 16-18" frame and wheels size less relevant - any advice? thanks

Deal bought. I'm going to have a very happy boy at Xmas, thank you.

This is 250 lumens! More than enough for a bicycle. On a sidenote, One note is that bicycle lights are mounted high, so anything brighter and you are going to blind other motorists in front. Those 1000 lumens stuff that you see on eBay or Amazon are meant for off-road cycling

Like ?

Looks decent enough for my short commute on lit roads, mainly just need one to be seen, not to see with. Reviews say the stated lumen output appears to be highly optimistic!

good price but low lumens would pay more and get something a bit more powerful.

That light has a separate battery pack so will take extra time to remove when locking the bike up, which is why I avoid such lights.

Rarely will you see a 5k road bike locked up .... Can you explain what's wrong with an Independent coffee shop, than a corporate chain... Believe it or not, shock horror, I've actually seen cyclists in Costa, Starbuck and McDonalds, must have been in oxygen debt, ehh ...or low blood sugar levels.....

I think if comments were more objective than subjective; concentrating a bit more on the product itself would help, trawling through a lot of junk comments is a pain.

A flippant comment ? if not, a rather stupid one.... Xenon or High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights which were first seen in the 90s, produce a harsh blue light, typically twice as bright as the old filament lights....

A non statement of a non cyclist, funny I thought the idea was an objective comment on a product, ie can you find this product cheaper anywhere else, what other product of a similar spec is available.... Whether you can stand cycling, or not, has no bearing on the product, objective and not subjective comments would be appreciated.

Triban 520 would be a lot faster than this bike, not only a lighter bike but much more efficient gearing. The only issue is the rider weight limits, about 85kg for btwin but I think Cannondale are at 136kg for rider weight. 100kg total load for btwin, 160kg total load for cannondale. Personally I'd prefer something like the Giant Rapid 3 which admittedly has a inferior groupset but a much better frame than either of these and can probably match the btwin for weight despite much higher rider weight limits. At this price level there is always some sort of compromise though. I also like the way Giant entry level bikes often get confused for much more expensive bikes due to some brilliant paint jobs on even their lower end bikes. Lastly Giant actually make their own bikes they are an actual manufacturer with their own factories rather than brand/importer.

Hmm, this or the Triban 520 Flat Bar.... So many choices!

Doesn't look bad for half price but how was that bike ever worth £850? Seems like a £250 premium just for the Cannondale name. The cheaper Quick 4 model (normally cheaper but not here becasue of the discounts) has a better spec in real terms. It will be easier up hills and faster on the flats. Off road a 1x drivetrain makes a huge amount of sense for rapid gear changes as you go over different terrain but on the road it can be a bit of a compromise. https://www.startfitness.co.uk/cannondale-2017-quick-4-mens-hybrid-bike-green-c31407m50.html

It's horses for courses Mr .... it very much depends on the type of rider you are.....experience and so on....I ride drops in London... it's a piece of cake... Unless you're a hipster, with flatbars; Hoxton beard optional.... Interestingly a lot of women (sorry if this sounds sexist) do prefer flatbars...as do beginners... or newbies to cycling...

I think flatbar is still best for commuting when you get traffic or more technical routes

It's more mountain bike style than actual mountain bike. The front suspension looks extremely basic and the rear wheel has a freewheel which wouldn't cope with serious off road use. You can probably get a real mountain bike from about £250 with a freehub based drivetrain and entry level suntour forks if you shop around. Look for a 24 speed drivetrain and a suntour fork. Suntour XCT is their entry level XC fork (28mm stanchions) and ok for light use off road or lighter riders, Suntour XCM is their stronger 30mm stanchion model which is a pretty reasonable entry level fork, I think there is a XCM 32 which has stronger 32mm stanchions again so a bit more heavy duty and then Suntour XCR which I think is 32mm stanchions with an air fork option. I've seen XCM's on fairly low cost bikes. £200 is close to getting a real entry level mountain bike that it seems false economy not to spend an extra £50.

Cheap and cheerful. Hard to tell if it's a good price or just an over-inflated RRP, since it appears that literally no other retailers sell this bike.

Nah lol. Road only. Classic mountain bike and a hybrid for fun and commute only. Just like to protect me looks

Nice and lightweight, fits like a glove.

I hope you don’t ride a motorbike

Well I a big kid at heart so why not

Thats what I can do with my old version lol

The flat bar version has hydraulic disc brakes and, although it's subjective, has a nicer paint job. . The description of this bike is all over the place .it describes hydraulic disc brakes, then mechanical disc brakes, but it's actually the cheap choice tektro brakes .

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/holdsworth-elan-sram-apex-1-flat-bar-disc-urban-road-bike-49999-planet-x-3063321

This is an amazing bargain. Look up the price of the Apex Groupset and the fulcrum wheels on their own and they are way more than this complete bike

Great bike for the money. For those commenting on gears, my father rode a single chainring close ratio 6-speed most of his life and preceding competitive years, held endurance records across decades and still beat me on hill climbs well into his 50s (despite my attempts at modern technology and gearing). All about what you’re used to. Heat from me on this one.

I would say that it’s not the wear on the gears that is the problem with a decent bike, it’s the wear on decent rims that is the problem if you have rim brakes. If you have disc brakes then I see no reason not to run a decent bike over the winter.

Thx for sharing, i originally posted these in May and been on HUKD several times since and more recently. This is Home & Bargains regular price. Much more costly elsewhere. 😝

Heated for the op enjoying themselves.

Pleased you're enjoying your but no way is it worth anything like £999. Usual IdealWorld con. £384.99 for this very similar one from the same supplier! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EPlus-Commute-Electric-Folding-Bike-700c-Wheel-MANUFACTURER-REFURBISHED/163259553421?hash=item260307168d:g:GlEAAOSwmZJbnRwU:rk:8:pf:0

I think the earliest they were released was around March this year, so if you did get one that somebody has used everyday, absolutely hammered and flattened the battery everyday (a bit unlikely, in my opinion) you would still be looking at having about 720-750 charges left. But I have a feeling these are stock they did not sell, (ie mine came and looked new, box was sealed, etc), or used a few times and returned (maybe the fold and heaviness issues put folk off... Ideal World did make a big thing of returning it no problem etc, and in their presentation they did make the fold appear to be easier than it is in real life (they did not do a full fold), but other than that their info was spot on). Also a big plus of this for folk not on a bike in a while is the weight it can take, over 19 stone (I am 17.5 and it Handles me easily).

They are refurbs, so be worth knowing how many charges are left as the battery is a costly consumable. The halfords ones are around £400!

It's a pretty basic bike with a few no-name or low end parts in there but I can't suggest a better electric bike for the money. The best comparison I can come up with is the pendleton somerby electric from halfords. The battery's the same 317Wh capacity as this model but the brakes are name brand and the gears are a bit better but the price is £850.

£26 at mo (they have dropped the 59 more now), previous gen Tiagra rather than current so maybe 1.5 groupset diff would be more fair? and only if you are after a 59cm frame ;) Not disputing though that is a far better bargain and steal, compared to this, as they clear stock - albeit never worth the rrp they advertise. Going the other way you could get the Claris 2400 on the Roux R7 from Winstanley at £300 - think the Calibre though is a nicer looking bike. Not sure how many bike snobs think Cailbre and go outdoors to be top tier either ;)

Fair deal, but for £30 more you can get a full carbon and two groups up tiagra. Oh but it's from sports direct so brand snobs will scoff

You describe yourself as 'big fatty' so thought I'd better mention weight limits of Calibre bikes are about 100kg for the rider with a total load of about 115/120kg I think which is about mid-level. Some brands are up to 160kg total load (136kg/300lbs rider weight) and some like btwin are even lower at 100kg total load which is about 85kg or less for rider weight. Worth bearing in mind as you sometimes don't get to see this information until you've actually bought the bike and see it written in the manual. Going over the maximum rider weight will not normally mean instant failure of the frame you just may find the frame more flexy and you will accelerate the fatigue of an aluminium frame so shorten its lifespan considerably. Also if you buy a frame as a 60kg rider which has a capacity for a 160kg total load you may find the frame harsh as the frame may be extremely rigid with no flex. Some of the reasons why some frames ride better that others are they design the frame to flex more but this also can reduce strength as flexing is basically fatiguing the frame over time. Allowing for clothes, accessories fitted to the bike and any additional stuff you are carrying in a backpack etc I would think a sensible rider weight limit for the Calibre is about 95kg.

Not bad as a first road bike or winter trainer.

Agree - wouldn’t buy at this price without Dura Ace, Zipp 202 wheels and a free Wahoo Kickr. Got this the other week for £99 on sale. Cold (lol) (lol) (lol)
