🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Keith Pearson: Ampere hilux crossbar ebike
Very pleased with this ebike, pedaling is relatively easy and the motor is quiet. Steep hills need a bit of effort from the rider but hasn't defeated the ebike. The range in my case for the 14ah battery is 30 miles and recharge takes 5.5hrs
I find myself using levels 3-5 most of the time and find no benefit from 1-2 as you may as well have a conventional bike. Level 3 does 10mph. Level 4 does 12.5 and level 5 does 15.5 which is comfortable cruising but to avoid the motor assistance cutting in and out at top speeds then drop your gear to 6 and this prevents your efforts feeling like the brakes are coming on as the assistance limit is reached. If you adjust your gears accordingly then this ebike fulfills what you need within the laws of the UK at present. The ebike has quality parts and is well packed for delivery. Assembly is fairly easy and the mudguards, lights are a bonus. eco additional warranty and price for the bigger battery were a bonus. With the range I am getting then i would advise going for the bigger battery at the outset to prevent range anxiety.
Only ni**le at this time is the brake pads rubbing the disk on the front wheel but i guess this will ease off in time.
