Hi all,
Just joined up here but been cycling for ages.
As I'm now 60 I got myself an Electric Bike.
Yes, it's a Kmart cheapy.."Ezip Trailz".
Cost ?... wait for it...$399..Oh yes I know what you're all thinking.
Anyway, what I'd like to know is, how noisy are Electric bikes usually?
This one makes a whining noise which is easily heard by folk as I approach and can indeed be annoying. It's loud enough to hear across a road and turn heads as I go along.
Also the 24 volt battery pack will only drive the thing for approx 12kms at best, and that's with pedal assist.
So..if there are any comments/suggestions, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks folks,
Colin in Burleigh Heads Qld.
