For Sale here is a purpose-build Folding Electric Bike (rather than a standard bike with an add-on kit)
Reason for sale is we got the two bikes around 4 years ago, but OH (Linda) had an accident with her back a couple of years ago and while it is a lot better, it has affected her balance a bit and she is not happy with the idea of riding a bike and so it is going to sit there unused for ever more if we keep it
I am keeping MY bike, so we have one surplus bike to move on to an new owner
Pictures show 2 e-Bikes. They are identical except for the colour and I am showing them both as while it is strictly speaking Linda's RED Bike for sale, if someone wants the bike but would prefer the SILVER one, than that is ok - I will just change from the Silver to the Red (as said, identical bikes apart from colour).

These are the Wayfarer Pro-Rider Folding Bikes. They are nice e-Bikes with a folding frame and tilt-down handlebar stem which allows them to be packed away in a small MH garage say very easily. When I went to pick them up, I put both bikes in the boot of my Vauxhall Corsa with no problem whatsoever as an example.
They fold with a quick release mechanism and it is a matter of seconds to fold them down or put them up again with no effort and no tools involved. Could not be easier! Or you can leave them setup and put them on the Bike Rack just like any conventional bike (this is how I transport them). OPTIONS!
These bikes were made just before the regulations on twist-throttles came out. The newest eBikes HAVE to be pedalled for the electric motor assitance to work. Stop pedalling and the motor stops. However the Pro-Rider bikes we have come with the twist-throttle like on a motorbike! You just twist your left hand and you start - no pedalling needed if you don't want to. The front brake cuts the power, twisting the trottle turns it back on. It could not be easier to ride and you could do a complete journey without turning the pedals once!
Totally Brilliant for anyone with a bike of a knee injury or ailment where they want to ride a bike again but don't think they have the strength to start off. Here you can let the bike take the initial strain and just join in as and when you feel able or want to.
You can select the level of power from the Motor from three presets and there is a display that shows the amount of battery power left whle you are riding. (There is also a set of LEDs on the battery itself that shows the charge level so you can see if it needs a charge withiut having to put it on the bike). The battery is removable to make it lighter to pack away, and has a lock on it to stop it being removed without the key (the bike comes with 2 keys for the battery. Without the key, the battery cannot be turned on at all for extra security)
The bike comes with a rear rack as shown in the pictures and has a detachable "GIANT" small rear pannier set. Also has the mains Battery Charger and the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. These Battery Packs are used in a few different bikes and can stil be brought brand-new today if you want to get a spare one for extra range. The battery that comes with the bike is still very good however, so no worries on that score as far as I can tell. I can also throw in a brand-new Cycle helmet if wanted.
Looking for £350 for the e-Bike. This could be for either the Red one OR the Silver one.
