Quite by chance I've been looking at those Fat Tyrbikes and saw one close-up yesterday in Calne; I'm staying with Edd at the moment.

Best wishes,
Mike & Edd

Without wishing to hijack your thread,this is what i have Engwe Engine Pro,pleased with it so far,its a heavy old beast,it does fold if you need to transport it,found a brand new tank bag in my spare room,my lock and a few bits & bobs fit in there.

Best wishes to Edd

Steve

Thanks, Steve.
I don't feel the thread's been hijacked as it's all on the same theme.
I shall look up the bike you have.
Talking of tank bags: while we were sorting through some stuff in my Salisbury storage unit, I came across an Oxford Tunnel Bag. They were rare as hens' teeth in the end. It might go on Ebay.

Mike.

I still have my Oxford Tunnel Bag,still looks in excellent condition,i was going to fix it on the e-bike,but then found the tank bag which was easier to fix on with the good old trusty cables ties
The Engwe web site has a few different styles of e-bike,plenty of stuff on YouTube as well,i went for the Engwe as the equivalent UK models were ludicrous money.

Steve

Just found a new one on Ebay - £35 - so I might hang on to mine.
I have a little bag that hangs on the Forza bars for all the keys.
I'll have a look at the Engwe site, thank you.
Incidentally, do you have to peddle the bike or is got a twist & go as well?

Mine has a throttle as well,I rarely use the throttle,only when pulling away i have five levels of peddle assist,they are delivered to the uk withthe throttle disabled but are enabled easily via the bike’s computer,as i say have a good look at their web site,possibly a step thru might best suit you,

Steve

Thanks again, Steve.
The problem for me here is that the ride up from the sea-front is an almost constant slope, at least 20 minutes walk.
To have to pedal much up hill, if at all, is really out of the question, hence why I bought the NIU.
I looked at the step-thru; it looks just right for me.

Mike

The L20 step through,almost certainly has a throttle,which is easy to enable,so getting up the hill from the seafront should be a breeze,luggage racks front & rear,so loads of carrying potential.

Steve

Thanks, Steve.
I noticed there's a step-thru folder as well.
Decisions, decisions!
