CYCLAMATIC ELECTRIC MOTOR POWER PLUS BICYCLE MOUNTAIN BIKE & LITHIUM ION BATTERY $800.00 US.... i am new to this ebike thing looking for a bike for around 800 total is this ebike worth the money any suggestions in this price range..i am riding a gas bike now but there illegal were I'm from but i only use it to go to work and back its a 8 min ride with gas. but i gotta doge the cops. newa what do you guys think about this bike https://www.ebay.com/itm/CYCLAMATIC-E...item4d038a0892

I rode a bike just like that a few months ago. Very basic level components, obviously nothing fancy or too durable at that price point. Personally, I wouldn't get a 24v system as it is going to be pretty slow. Top speed of 15mph, so if your OK with that, what the heck. I am building a 36v kit with what looks to be the same parts, and the kit cost $500. So, for an extra $300 you are getting a bicycle and installation. Not too bad of a deal I guess.

If you really got bored some day, you could put in a 36v battery into that system and be good for 20mph.

I would put the speed at 14-15mph, and the range at 20 miles (not the 27 they list) but that of course all depends on how much you pedal.

I'd build my own from parts first and come out with a better bike for the same or less price. But that's me and I ain't counting my time and effort put into the project and I've got the skills, you may not.

It's being sold by an internet golf supply company.
Without the battery and motor that bike would retail in the under $100 price point.

so were can i get a good kit for 8 or less?
chas58 were did you get your kit or parts? i would build one but i don't really understand whats good and whats not. i know gas motors....

This is one of the best complete kits out there and there have good customer service by far.

thanks i looked at that one before. think i will give it a try. thanks for everyones help. i am sure i will have more questions. but for now its off to work for me

BMSbattery, GreenBikeKit and elife all have kits around $500 delivered ($320 not shipped). But you have to be willing to take on a science project - mine wasn't plug and play like it should have been, and there were basically no instructions (other than a simplistic wiring diagram). Its fun if that is what you want, but for others, its a lot easier to get a pre-built bike. I don't know which camp you fall into.

Here is the kit:

hmmm seems tempting cause of 36V10AH LiFePO4 battery gonna have to think about this.. but the build scares me a bit with what you said i am pretty mechanically inclined but ??

I figured it out eventually, and the guys on endless-sphere helped verify what I was thinking. Without that support, it wouldn't have worked too well. If you get the same kit I got, I can help with questions. Its pretty easy if you have someone to ask questions to, but without that and the minimal instructions it can be pretty confusing.

might just take you up on that. gotta think about it. gonna order one of the 2 this weekend thanks for all your help....
