You haven't seen me then!
Some of us have reasons why we need help, severe back issues with me have hindered my exercise for years.
In my opninion its better to be out cycling and enjoying an ebike than sitting on a chair because I can't manage hills on my normal bike.

I have got much fitter since getting my ebike. I wouldn't use my regular bike when out with hubby as he is cycling mad (mountain biking mostly) and I just couldn't keep up which frustrated us both.
With the ebike we can go at the same pace and longer distances and I actually enjoy riding so I do a lot more.
Next weekend we go to the Peak district in the MH to do some cycling and then bank holiday to the Kielder Dam for some more.
Plus for those who haven't tried one - its not like a moped - you actually have to pedal - the battery assistance just helps on the lumps and bumps!

I must be weird but actually enjoy exercise,,,,without it my rhumatoid would take over again and i do not want to be back on sticks. everyone to there own form of transport,,whatever suits you. Nowt to do with money,,i know you canbuy a push bike for £80 but paid nearly a grand for our two.. BUSBY
What's so special about these centre drive bikes , what do they do that others don't , I can't see how anything could do any better than the ones we have , apart from a throttle , that are not allowed in France anyway, not meaning anything to do with reliability because that's a wait and see for us I'm afraid, but upto now fingers crossed no probsThe only way you will ever know what its about is to try a decent centre drive bike......end off

An electric motor has an effective rpm range where it will be most efficient. Say for example the range goes from 0 to 1000 rpm but it's at its most effective at 750 rpm, if you have a motor mounted within the wheel like lots of the Chinese bikes, you will only ever hit the motor's "sweet spot" at one particular road speed, all well and good if that coincides with your favoured peddling speed, if not, you loose efficiency and ultimately range.
A crank mounted motor will have a similar "sweet spot" but you will be able to select that spot in every gear, just like in your car, improving efficiency and range
With ours , it doesn't matter a great deal what gear you are in , as long as the pedals are turning the motor is working, you don't have to actually press on the pedals, and there is three gears in the motor, so if you are on the flat just the lower setting is enough or even switch it off but on hills select 2 or 3 and it pulls you up helping with the pedals if you want to.And there's your answer Chaser. centre drive bikes drive through the gears so hill climbing in a different league....its far more like cycling then these cheap twist and go bikes....
Don't cost anything to try one...

That was my opinion until I tried a few, then couldn't wait to get some. So at a young 65 we have a couple of decent quality e-bikes with Bosch crank drives.Looking forward to getting a couple when we are old enough...BUSBY

Hi everyone
We are thinking of buying some electric bikes to get about while on sites, if any of you have them have you had any problems when out and about with them? Although we will buy locks for them I am concerned that they may get stolen? I would love to hear everyone's experiences.

A great read here, we are looking at selling the 125cc scooter and going "pedal" power. I will do some more research and go for the Bosch system.

Smoother better power delivery, more advanced battery technology, Bosch battery about 1.5kg lighter and much smaller.What advantages does the Bosch system have over my Panasonic 48v hub motor ?
