As i live local to the place i volunteer like a few miles and can get there all on canal paths i was looking at a electric Bike.

I cant afford a lot so a range of around £60,not bothered if its a top make as long as it works ok and a good range.

There are so many cheap name/makes out there so just a bit of advice one what to go for ( battery/motor size etc) i like the fat Tyre ones.

I have a normal Carrera one now.

Thanks.

    i was thinking that,on some it says they deliver then you pay,the main place i see all these are on Facebook Market place.

    I know the charging with the fire risk on some of the batteries but i just was seeing if anyone on here have seen them.
