I completely agree that the criticism people offer of "it's cheating" to ride an ebike is utter rubbish. If you don't like riding ebikes, don't ride them. This review pointed out that people who ride ebikes often get more exercise than they would if they were on a conventional bike. And even if they didn't, whose business is that but their own? A lot of people find that they ride more frequently and ride farther on an ebike than they would otherwise. And at the end of the day, it's THEIR choice and their money. If people want to be cycling purists, that's all good. Just don't be cycling snobs. Mind your own business. This bike wouldn't be a fit for what I want to do, but it's an honest and fair review -- good on ya.

Had my Carrera E For 2 years Best ever purchase Ive ever made. My car is idol My wallet is fuller. My health is better My life is grand cruising the lands. Love my EBike. Nice review vlog mukka.

@grenvillegibbins3402 6 years ago

I bought an ebike after starting with heart problems. I am getting fitter by the day and feeling better than I have for a long time. It helps with hills and is so easy to ride; a total joy.

Brilliant one of the best bike reviews I’ve seen

@crafter63 1 month ago

Six years after you kindly shared this vlog, I eventually decided to go for a Carrera vengeance e bike for my metal-detectoring adventures. Hopefully it assist my battered old body around Lincolnshire.
Hope you're keeping well, and thanks again for sharing all your adventures with us.

Hell yeah, I just got myself a little foldable e bike from Halfords again like you one of the cheaper more budget ebikes available but reliable and safe still as I have seen a lot of bad things about some ebike battery's in the news setting on fire etc etc. wish I had bought an ebike years ago. Honestly so much fun to ride around on. The first time I went on it I was literally laughing so much as I was cycling along the road I must of looked a bit nutty but I was having such a good time. I went round to my dad's house to show him straight away and it's been absolutely blowing a gale here today 40-50 mph winds and I didn't even struggle it was amazing. I bought this ebike to commute to work on but I think I'll be doing much more than that on it. X

Me too..I've stopped driving. Been cycling for years, plus car, but cost, freedom, stress...much better cycling

@maverickdisco4036 6 years ago

Very good and honest review.

@Shepgetthem 6 years ago

Use slime in your tyres as well to remove the motor at the back is a pain. The slime will help seal punctures.

@electricdreams8137 6 years ago

Nice review and the bike seems really good value for Money. I fitted a suspension seat post to my ebike, made the ride so much more comfortable.

@johnhampson7 6 years ago

Just stumbled on your video review and I've got to say thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll look out for more. Many thanks.

@CookedLight 4 years ago

Excellent honest review. You had me concerned when you said "about hills", I thought the whole point of an ebike is to get you up hills!! Then you rode up and answered the question, good enough for us, will probably get my mrs this bike. Cheers.

@TahamasaPhotography 1 year ago

Great review. Completely honest and down to earth. Been thinking about the Carrera for a while. You’ve made my mind up. Keep up the great vids.

@lioncrunch 6 years ago

Great review, I agree with your assessment of what you get out of riding an E bike, particular comments about hills and the saddle.
I only use the power when I need it, average run 20 miles, then had enough, uses approx 50 % battery.
Great fun as a 70 year old takes me back to being 14, fabulous, go get one?

@markjakeway2035 6 years ago

Great interesting video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I've just bought a Carrera ebike (the Crossfire) for lockdown and everything you said is competently true and resonated with me. I go out for 30/40 mile trips and like you say it takes all the worry about hills out and makes cycling enjoyable again (I'm 60).

@joemorrison4977 6 years ago

5 video I have watched and I didn't want it to end best review video I have seen and I am definitely going to buy this bike now

@nigelduckworth406 6 years ago

Good review. I have a crossfire which has transformed my cycling principally because I live in an extremely hilly area with 1 in 5 to 7 hills. At 71, despite being a lifelong cyclist, I struggled to get up them and thought maybe they might induce a heart attack. So not worth it. I can now look at any downhill and explore it without worrying about having to exhaust my self getting back up. On unpowered rides, I used to be able to get up 2 sea-level to 300ft climbs in 10 miles. Now I can do a lot but it doesn't half deplete the battery. Sometimes by 10% on one climb. I changed the Kenda tyres to Schwalbes and what a difference in control and feel. It is much more taught and being a mountain biker for 20 years, I can now chuck the bike about with confidence. If I get abuse from roadies, I shout back "Well are you 71, then"
