Thanks for the informative review, especially about the fold and the different power settings .... Both not quite good enough for me, but I can see it being a very good bike for many.

I have just obtained this model of bike, initially on loan to see if I can get on with it. Never having owned an e bike it strikes me as a complicated piece of kit but with luck within a week or two I should know how the thing operates. The first thing I noticed about it is how heavy it is, luckily am not intending to use it for urban commuting/ rail travel. It is simply for my 1.5 mile daily commute to work, all downhill on the way in but the journey back hime is a different story (after 12 hour shift with cumbersome work clothing).
Thank you for uploading this presentation.

Very good review. I've just bought one and love it. Has the frame hinge on yours got a little play when open?

[funnyfiveminutes]

Would you be able to tell me what the floor to seat height (at its lowest level) measurement would be, please?

[kierank]

The battery seems to have screws in it. so could be opened, to check if the cells are good/bad...there could be one bad cell, and if that was replaced, it might bring the pack you had to replace back to life

[johngotcha]

How much does a new battery cost and how long does a new battery last please ? Great review thank you .

Thankyou for your review.
Before purchasing I asked Halfords what their max load was and i was told 21stones. You mentioned 100kg. That is a significant difference.
Please can you advise where you got 100kg from because I am 20stones

Thank you for this great video! Do you feel the Careera Crosscity is better than BTwin Tilt 500E?
I find USB slot and battery on/off button are unique to Crosscity whereas Good looks and easy folding is selling point for the 500E.
Do you have a take on this? Thanks in advance!

Very informative, thanks.
Is it easy to take the battery out of the bike for charging?

[donaldjames]

How could you make it go faster can you feed a 500W motor on the battery

Hiya I have the same bike 2 one for me and one for my partner sadly they stole one of them. But I have question if you don't mind the one you switched the bike on from the top not from were the battery were the level low to hi the lights on the switch start flashing one and 3 together do you have any idea why. Thanks.

Thanks for video. I have seen a second hand one for 500£. Comfortable for tall people ? I am 6ft 2 and can see myself keeled over on this bike. What do you think ?

[kofgrep]

It's got foldable pedals, but how to fold them. Please explain.

[True-crime-tales]

On high settings do u get the maximum speed from small rotations of the pedals?? I'm looking for maximum speed with hardly any effort

[johnf]

Hello I am 90 kg in weight so would the bike carry my weight no problem up a hill ?

[higstravels]

I’m 20 stone would I be ok to get one of these bikes

[RedBrum]
