Some low life has nicked my Volt electric bike ( is quite heavy). Which is the best one to replace it with. Would like largest wheels and more of a man's looking one! Should I get one with a Bosch or similar.

Bosch without question.....Buy on German ebay and save a packet.

Hope it was insured! Spend at least 10% on decent security:(

Bosch power has got to be the best option. Need to test ride quite a few different models to find what suits you then decide on price versus quality how much you are prepared to spend. Then as Eddie says buy from Germany, British prices like Motorhomes stupidly high. We brought direct from a German dealer, delivered in 3 days and saved £500 a bike.

There is a very good electric bike shop in Cromer, north Norfolk if anyone is in need in the area, lots of different models on display, also accessories are offered free to anyone buying a new bike at the moment.

Now a year !
Its a very personal choice. After much looking on the web i decided to take a trip to 50 cycles and try thrm.
I bought thr sahel compact, i am only 5 foot one inch tall and it suits me to perfection, but my 6 foot husband can also ride it as the seat and handelbars are fully adjustable.
Further to that it fits in our mh garage, with the quick release front wheel removed.
Are just returning from spain where i used it everyday, taking all the shopping home, going off road, asit has big tyres, and generally tooting about. So have now clocked up about 180 miles in a couple of weeks!!
The first recharge was after some 70 miles on high power use ( i have the large battery) and on eco it looks like it will do miles.
It has been the correct choice for me, depends what you want.
I also got a discount, but i think they are offering £50 off cc or ccc members if i remember correctly.
Have fun choosing
Regards
Linda

They are at the top of the hill before you come to the traffic islands , where the motorcycle shop/cafe is, in there around the back to the right.
£50 of accessories free with any bike purchased, test rides available and a good selection to choose from, and N0, I do not work for them, just a satisfied customer.
