gocro Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The updated 2014 best electric bikes as tested, obviously quite a few omissions as they haven't been able to test all bikes, but it may form research on what to avoid. http://www.atob.org.uk/electric-bikes/electric-bike-buyers-guide-2014-uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Sorry but that a very narrow and selective list. Calling it the "best" simply ridiculous.....Peter Henshaw well known for his preferences and prejudices.... If interested in the best that Europe has to offer there is this site. http://extraenergy.org/main.php but even this is selective and reviews not always rated as fair by enthuiasts. You really are better getting impartial advice from E bike forums..I prefer the German one as its has more about high end bikes that interest us. but they cover all types. http://tinyurl.com/m2xf6q3 UK company Wisper have some interesting and innovative new bikes out this year (both hub and centre drive)...currently exhibiting at Europes largest bike show, Interbike on Lake Constance. hope the weathers better then when we wer there in late July! *-) http://www.interbike.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocro Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 It was qualified as the only the best ten tested , not a definitive list of the best in Europe or the World, (though all the best are European) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just look at the list...consists of a bunch of out dated dinosaurs, it really is lazy journalism. 2015 bikes out now and not one mention, and certainly no mention of many that have been available for years. How for instance can they say the best and not review R&M ( riese & muller) they are available in UK and are beautiful bikes kalkhoff get 5/5 and raleigh 3/5. identical bikes more or less The Gepida gets 5/5 (bosch) they criticise old Yamaha Gepida bikes sytem but make no mention of new one. New Yamaha system now a challenge to Bosch and cheaper. There are other magazines around in the UK. I used to subscribe to Peter Eglans Electric bike mag which was not bad, but now get all I need from forums http://www.electricbikemag.co.uk/read.php#issuu but like I said earlier all these publications open to bias.....Best do your own homework, ignore sales patter, try a selection of bikes ( e bike shows good for this as, as all in one place) and spend your monies wisely........Happy cycling :-D edit: app that can be used to view magazines for free including ebike ones http://issuu.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
