An Electric Bike For £376 Advertised On Fb.

[sandyRoe]

Another of these too good to be true offers?
I've see other bikes on offer at about £1000.

[Bobbisox1]

They tend to go up in price the more they have on them, my grandsons was £600;

[ubasses]

Is it new or used? If used and originally one of the cheaper end £600'ish could be ok.

[sandyRoe]

These are new bikes. It's the seemingly low price that looks suspicious.

[ubasses]

In that case I think you are right to be suspicious.

[KARL]

There have been bikes at around £400 and I have one of those. I haven't used it because the intention was to take it abroad but then I discovered no airline will carry them. This one requires some pedalling because it has no throttle but there is plenty of assistance from the motor.

Hi sandyRoe, is there a link? I cant find any at that price!

[allenlondon]

This is a good forum:

Someone there will be your best bet.

The website kbooa.com offers some in the £300+ range.
I don't know if they'd be a good buy or not.

[ChillDoubt]

Can you provide a link to the actual bike?
Happy to cast an eye over it for you and give an opinion.

[sandyRoe]

ChillDoubt,
The website isn't well regarded and I've a suspicion if you ever saw the bike you'd paid for it would be a pile of trash.

Found the website Sandy but not the bike for £376....Mind you there is an electric "motorbike" for £539.

[Togo]

Found it......now only £308.17. Looks like a bargain will try to find the specs and manufacturer.

[Tilly2]

Not suitable for ladies is it?

[Togo]

Obviously Chinese manufacture, have found this info on the source of the bike.

There are too many things wrong with their website. Domain is registered to Alibaba

[Togo]

Hmm the main site says that the bike is no longer available, but the site shown at 16.13 takes paypal so at least your money should be safe regarding delivery. Do you ride side saddle Tills? (^_*)

[barry1010]

Would PayPal class that as a vehicle? Their buyer protection excludes vehicles

[Togo]

All things considered Sandy.....I am not in a hurry to place an order. The "bike that they are featuring at the daft price did not look a bad machine but was a bit short on style.

[Tilly2]

I used to ride, Togo but that horse has bolted and my bike got stolen.

Considering a three wheeler electric bike at the moment. Something sedate.

[Togo]

I am sure the 3 wheeler is very on trend Tills but they are a big unit that cannot be taken everywhere and need a good storage area. You cannot take them in the car or even put one on a car rack to take on holiday or for a weekend away. "She who must be obeyed" has had a tentative look at the folding, smaller wheel, commuter type leccy bike and I am looking at a folding mountain bike if we do take the plunge.
