Cheap electric bike

You saw the price. Did you read the information?

Electric Bike with 3 x LEAD-ACID Batteries!!
I would wonder just how heavy the bike is and how many yards you can go before the batteries are flat? (And then how many days it will take to recharge them?)

If there is one product that is just way too unsuitable to use Lead-Acid batteries on, it is an electric bike.


You say Cheap, I'd say Expensive for a Landfill product.

I thought the same strange that they were lead acid. .

No idea David, I expect it was feasible at some point though.

Probably one of the very first electric bikes. I wonder how old it is as well given that e-bikes with Lithium batteries came out possibly 15 years ago?
I would say that bike is a bit like a VHS Tape Player or a 2G Nokia Mobile Phone... Of a use when new but now nothing more than a curiosity.

Just had a look: That bike could be very good as a bench press? weighs in at 87lbs

This thread reminds though to put my e-Bike (with Lithium battery ) up on eBay now there are no fees payable to sell

No commission too???

I suppose if the battery is still okay it'll still do what it always did, not for me though.

Lead Acid batteries ok on a bike that will be 12 years old at the very very newest? Seriously, that Chinese-made "Euro2" ebike will be one that is just a dead weight.
If it sells, expect it to get relisted by the unwary buyer within weeks.
