Electric Bike Deals & Offers

I electrified my Brompton in 2009 and did 10K miles up to last year when I retired. I am a Type 1 diabetic and electric bikes made the difference of driving to work or taking my bike every day except when it was below 3 degrees. Its like cycling on the flat even when its blowing a gale! Highly recommended to get you out your car everyday!

It's kinda interesting to see what other people ride. I was surprised there are few panniers in the carpark for instance. Same for hub gears though fixies were common.

This dude counting the gears on the roadbikes in the car park.

Really good price for one with a motor in.

Prices have gone up. Also, there is no size guide?

Are these knee length or 3/4 ?

Well at least it makes you visible - unlike all those black jackets - very unwise!

This one looks odd: https://www.cyclesurgery.com/p/gore-bikewear-womens-phantom-lady-gws-zip-off-jacket-N3134087.html?colour=3651

Good spot. Some great deals pity I can't really justify buying anything as I am well stocked in this dept.

ive got the gilet and its brilliant for offroad xc mtbing, keeps body warm and dry. the long sleeve element as jacket is excellent all year round with a base layer underneith for the warm blooded the fox mtb jackets are nice but sold out in bigger sizes throughout the day yesterday, the ladies gabba jersey seemed a great price.

Some great deals on there for top quality clothing. Heat added

I've got the Haibike Sduro cross which is pretty much the commuter-ish version of the Hard Seven (bigger, thinner wheels) which I do about 40 miles a day getting to work and back. It's not a fantastic bike, but it's very good for the money. Some of the components are a bit low-rent - the rear sprockets a particular bug bear of mine as I wear out the top gear every 4-5 months (the chain starts slipping when you pedal hard). It's still under warranty, but will put something decent on when it runs out. One other thing to consider if buying a leccy bike online is the warranty. Haibike aren't keen on you just popping round to your local Haibike dealer if there's a warranty issue - they insist you deal with whoever supplied you the bike in the first place. So you may have to post the bike back to them if there's any issues. That said - I'd still recommend one. Mine 'somehow' seems to go well over the 15.5 mph assistance restriction so is great for ripping past rude road-riders that deem riders with flat bars too lowly to acknowledge.

It uses the Yamaha PW system, so you should be OK. Look on ebiketuning website for options.

Can you remove the speed limiter on this one? I was skeptical about electric bikes until I hired one in Marrakech, it brought the fun back to cycling without having to do the boring bit, and whizzing up hill at 45 mph past the lycra warriors was great fun.

Just think, if you bought one you could get around so much faster, and would then have spare time to work on your grammar and spelling (cheeky) (isn't sarcasm fun?). I bought an equivalent Haibike model for around the same price in a sale just over 18 months ago. Haven't regretted it for a moment. The build quality is excellent and, so far, it's been 100% reliable. I have a problem at the base of my spine which makes pushing hard a real pain, and this is where the electric assistance shines. Be aware, though, that the bike is pretty heavy and you'll notice the extra weight when riding with the motor off and when travelling downhill.

I have the hardnine with the Bosch system. Would highly recommend Haibike. Heat.

This was a good deal with the extra 10% off the other day, but £1000 is probably a fair price rather than spectacular. At the £1250 RRP, there are better bikes available.

You can’t for this bike, The Carrera has never been derestricted

Where can I find this de restrict code

who said mountain bike? why are you only seeing what you want to see instead of reading whats written like to fabricate reality? I was just saying that a reasonably fit person can reach those kinds of speeds on a flat I did not say maintain that for any length of time no other information was provided you made assumptions most people that are into cycling know that those are the kinds of speeds the average person can achieve on a flat and instead of getting some data you just compare the world to yourself are you the baseline for humanity? on almost any bike with low rolling resistance tyres and a reasonable number of gears (including mountain bikes) most solo male riders can manage 20mph on a flat solo women usually a little bit slower, in a paceline you can add at least 5mph to that (all of this assumes no wind in any direction). If we were talking average speed over an extended distance including terrain then it would depend on many more factors like rider weight and maintainable power output for that rider and the amount of climbing and descending involved in the sample which makes it mostly pointless to speculate as there are too many factors. but on a flat the main factors involved are aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance so its much easier to speculate on for average riders.

Go on the Pedalecs forum and search for carrera crossfire and then see how many users say how many problems they have. Well known for cutting out. Long standing issue never been resolved.

Brit cycling puts pressure on athletes to do this which is pretty shocking.

I used to run competitively before the shift to cycling.... Many times before a race, I'd see other athletes take a few puffs and wondered if there was any advantage, it did cross my mind to ask for a couple of shots, just to see what it was like to "open up the airways"...Bizarrely I've never seen an asthmatic in cycling, or I should say someone with an inhaler, perhaps done out of site, don't know....I was a Cat 2 rider...a pretty rubbish one...!

Tues is the mechanism that they may use but it asma drugs that they are on. Its seems to get on the British cycle team you need to be asthmatic.is not just Bradley at it.

Looks like it's sold out

I got one of the gtech eBay outlet refurbished ones that was on here, it's brilliant. I got one £595 with a one year guarantee (y)

Pointless

Stops the wind chill through the vents in your helmet. May save a couple of watts being more aero. Skull cap better option imho

Don't really understand the point of these. It's gonna run down your face, either way

Also illegal because it appears to only have one brake and the motor is 350W and not 250W so even if you tried to blag the policeman saying you owned it before 2016 when you could ride throttle only e-bikes without pedals and the law wasn't back dated to exclude older e-bikes you still have the brake and motor issue. Lets face it though this product is designed to be annoying. It's got a puny battery and no way of pedalling it so you ride it somewhere, the battery dies and you are forced to walk it home looking like a plonker with every step. You'll probably look a bit like this on it.

No, I don't expect the police to care but if they ever do stop you for any other traffic offence they can take the bike. Alternatively if you're in a crash you are an uninsured motorbike rider and will get... uh, treated poorly with a pointy stick.

maxeyt some places such as stratford-CV37 yes the filth have so little to do it is unbelievable. The are to lazy to arrest drivers who use hand held mobile phones while in motion, they are to lazy to arrest drivers who jump traffic light filters near the old hospital.....

Better off with one of those PHA QU ones.

I'd have the Doctors Specimen taken out of me if I was to ride that around, especially with a Helmet on! Nah I'll leave it today.

Now you tell me! Maybe that explains why I keep getting cheques from the council!

I wouldn't imagine your lawnmower was designed for your daily commute.

There simply isn't any handlebar height adjustment on this bike and to fit it later would probably cost another £40-50 at best (handlebars plus height adjustable stem (ebay/aliexpress). The lack of this keeps it suitable for more average heights only and most won't be able to get a good fit on the bike plus also it may compromise its ability to fold compactly and be stored as the handlebars will always stick out more. It's a very budget bike but doesn't mean it isn't fit for purpose but spending more could actually save you money as you may not need to replace parts so quickly or require servicing as much. Carrera Crosscity is much better for £200 more. Also when comparing power of e-bikes just multiply the voltage and Ah to give you the watts per hour. I.e. 24v x 7Ah is 168 w/h which compared to 36 x 7Ah is 252 W/h so a significant difference in battery power and the 36V hub motor will likely have more torque and power too compared to 24V as it makes use of a higher voltage, depends on model of course a 36V motor can be weaker than 24V just like any electric motor but the battery capacity comparison should be accurate. One last thing is the frame, Argos have stated steel for the frame but it looks on face value more like aluminium. I would expect looking at it for the main frame to be aluminium and the forks to be steel so if anyone buys one perhaps they could put a magnet to the frame to see what it is. Argos descriptions have a high tendency for inaccuracies.

Yes.it comes with Argos12month warranty. Also 30 day money back guarantee if returned unused in saleable condition.

Surely your warranty is with the retailer not the supplier?

Yup on a flash sale I think.

I see its at £337 now ! maxmix

Update for anyone who is interested. Bike arrived safely with no pesky duties to pay. It was just about fully assembled with just the seat column to insert “on a quick release so tool less exercise”. I am 6’2” and it can be set way too tall for me so at a guess would fit anyone outside the Guinness book of records. I live near some decent hills and it goes up them without the need to peddle. So far not been more than a few miles so can’t really report on range accurately, but a few miles doesn’t put much of a dent in the battery meter. Build quality is top notch, frame and fittings all feel very solid and well built. Folding mechanisms all work smoothly and feel totally rigid once locked in place. Riding wise it’s pretty good. You obviously don’t get the same amount of precession you would get from larger wheels but it is stable enough. Breaks work well and are quite progressive. Pedals are on the smaller side but totally usable and although the bike is fairly heavy it would be possible to pedal home in an out of power situation. All in all very pleased.

why not ...... just hire a good electric bike for a week and decide if you like it. Many shops knock the hire cost off the final sale price if you haggle.

Believe it is 15MPH. But people are riding Brinco's around at 40MPH so wouldn't worry about going 1 or 2 MPH over.

now £20.99.

Good timing as I was planning on getting some more shorts but the type I bought last year seem to have increased in price. I'd just been buying cheap ones but bought a decent pair last year and a bit difference in the comfort. Anyone seen any great deals on leggings?

My pair has just arrived, sizing is spot on with drawstring waistband to adjust further if needed

Size charts are pretty spot on

Was thinking about these just yesterday whilst getting a**eache on the turbo. It's like HUKD's members are reading my mind! Thanks OP.

I’d like to like gore shorts but being a 34-36 waist (large) they just don’t fit right, ive found they are tight on the waist and too baggy on the legs, with a slimmer waist they may fit better.. the tops are quality have have had a few Activeshell windstopper jackets, the gilet, turtleneck zip and base layers all quality and fit as expected, just ordered a power trail thermo jersey on crc for £45 (1/2 price endura are a great scottish’s company, I ragged an mt500 jacket on barb wire at the weekend and emailed them, and they replied quickly they have a repair service £15 flat fee, I’m hoping they can patch it up.. in terms of shorts see if you can get hold of some endura MTR or MT500 or singletrack shorts, I have hummvee shorts but don’t like the fit personally ok for casual. They are far more technical with stretch panels and a better fit, look overall... i have fox shorts but but they feel flimsy boardshort like in comparison, great for summer but need something tougher in winter TLD Troy lee make some great shorts I’m told, but many are too in your face for me

Large now £33.32 with discount ;( think I'll stick with the Humvees

So you don't like Gore shorts but found and posted the deal anyway? Fairplay. 'Tis a good deal, and ordered, but not sure. I dunno if those are the same, click your order link and provide the product link if you like. If you click the link I provided then it'll show if those are the ones you bought for you at the top: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Padded-Mountain-Selected-Fabrics-TPOWSH/dp/B00YR34IUE/ They look very similar, but I think they're different. I've still got some Endura Humvee shorts to return - for casual shorts I fit a 31" waist. So I bought Medium - and they're way too tight. I don't know about Endura and Altura - the British brands, it'd be nice to get a decent british brand but I don't like their names, and they seem to make poorer cheap products. Maybe they simply don't have the brand cache - but I'm not an Endura fan having bought the Humvee and wondering what people were raving about - but I only tried them on. I preferred the more minimal and smarter styling of Fox. Fox is expensive and overpriced, but can be bought on offer for more reasonable prices - and all the Endura shorts other than the original Humvee aren't really any cheaper than Fox on offer - e.g. £50-£60 I've not compared the other Endura shorts to Fox shorts, but Fox shorts seem to be made from more technical fabric, with a smarter and more minimal/performance focused design. Dunno, still struggling to find some decent mountain bike shorts that actually fit without paying a fortune. Fox 32 fit me if they have the inner velcro tabs - the plastic integrated belt only doesn't work for me as 32 is actually too large. Need to try their 30s. 31 will probably be correct, dunno. Their sizing seemed consistent at least.

Which these ones , I sent them back, worst fitting shorts I’ve ever tried on, gore jackets and tops and endura shorts for me , the element shorts are £45 and 20% off on certain sizes , again they were so baggy on me and a strange waist so I sent them back

Shame there isn't a similar deal on these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Padded-Mountain-Selected-Fabrics-TPOWSH/dp/B00YR34IUE/
