“Riding the Lynx has literally changed my life for the better. I use it as an ordinary bike as much as possible, because I want the exercise. But not being a spring chicken, there are often times when on a normal bike I lose heart and enthusiasm, especially when going up hills. Now with my electric bike, I always have the physical and psychological knowledge that I’ll get that helpful push when I need it. As well as for leisure, I use it for commuting, and in the past, on my old pushbike, I often had a sinking feeling when about to use it – just thinking about the 5 miles there and back. Sometimes I just couldn’t face it, and would get the bus instead and arrive at work annoyed with myself and feeling lazy and flabby. Not a chance of that now! Using the Lynx has helped me lose weight, and lifts my spirits so that I get to work in a good mood.
It’s a lovely easy-to-handle lightweight bike, but doesn’t look too flimsy, unlike some foldaways I’ve seen. I’ve lost count of the people who’ve admired it. We accidentally got caught up in a bike run whilst in France, and I got several “Mon Dieu’s!” as I kept pace with, and even passed, fit French cyclists going uphill.
Back at home, the service from Powered Bicycles in Long Eaton, has been exemplary. The owner, Hamant, is so enthusiastic and helpful. I never felt rushed, patronised or intimidated by high-pressure sales techniques whilst I was there just guided towards the bike that was right for me, from his extensive range.
As you can tell from the above, I would thoroughly recommend the Lynx and Powered Bicycles to anyone who loves cycling doesn’t want to click their way through hundreds of gears, and relishes the freedom of getting quickly from A to B with the minimum of hassle. Jo from Nottingham”.

Bought my Bike elsewhere, they went bust and I needed replacements. Top Electric Bikes not only provided the replacements but were verbally very helpful and obliging. Thanks TEB |

A superb bicycle, well made and with a good specification. I have not ridden on two wheels for 50 years, and now require gentle exercise. This bike has proved a godsend, allowing me to get fit in a gentle manner and opening my horizons in many unseen ways: all at hardly any cost other than the bike and bits of equipment. I did exchange the saddle for something well sprung, and look forward to an active summer with it, in comfort and style. My grandchildren are jealous to death. |

I bought this bike with a mind to do alot of miles with it, so i bought localy for the back up you can recieve. since feb this year i have cycled aprox 5500 miles with only 1 problem the spokes on the back wheel, which after talking to powered bikes was soon sorted with no hastle. I use the bike to go to work on and is my main transport I use the bike everyday would recomend it to anyone it does what they claim it does and more. this bike is fantastic. |

In France I bought an excellent electric bike made in Italy.
The Free spirit I have now bought from poweredbicycles is even better because it has 36v battery instead of 24v giving more range,superior locking devices,and a throttle which makes starting much easier.
A super bike with splendid service. |

From walking in to the shop and aftersales advice I have received an excellent service. I was able to try out a number of bikes and work out which bike was best for my needs. I am really pleased with the bike I chose - I live in a really hilly area and the bike makes cycling much easier and the battery still has a good range. When I have had queries about my bike I have had a quick and useful response and delivery of the bike was at a time and place to suit me. This is a great Company to do business with. |

I have been a very keen cyclist for most of my life cycling up to 8000 miles a year but after a serious accident while at work I am now disabled and unable to walk. My Electric City Thunder has given me a new lease of life.
I have cycled over 1000 miles in less than 3 months with no problems apart from a loose crank. I must also say that the staff at www.poweredbicycles.co.uk in Long Eaton Nottingham have been amazing, I took my bike for its free first service today and was amazed when Hamant the owner of the company called me himself to say that the cycle was all ready for collection on the same day, now that is what I call service.
Because of my disability I got my bike through a scheme called Access To Work. All I had to do was choose my bike and www.poweredbicycles.co.uk and the company that I work for did the rest. It is a great scheme and for anyone with a disability who wants to cycle to work.
Unlike most other Electric cycles that I have seen the City Thunder looks just like a normal light weight bike, and it is. I also find it one of the most comfortable bikes I have ridden. I think this is because of the long wheelbase and the light weight.
I have been very surprised by just how far on a single charge the bike will run for. I have been getting over 27 miles on full throttle and peddle assist at the same time. Using peddle assist mode and switching off the power on the flat or downhill I have cycled over 45 miles and still not run out of power. I think another reason for the amazing performance is because I asked to have the standard chunky tyres changed for City Jet tyres.

I bought this bike as an alternative to my motorbike, as i wasnt getting any regular excercise and also wanted to save money in the long term on the commute to work. its the best decision i have made in terms of transport. Hills are no problem (especially as i have a knee damaged by years of sport) and the commute takes me 5 mins longer than the motorbike over 10 Miles. The bike has been sturdy and easy to handle and even survived a crash with a motorist who didnt know how to use her indicators. The only damage being a split mudguard. So if you want a bit of excercise, to save some money and pass everyone on the uphill journey, then this is the bike. Oh and it looks good too. |

Well about time I got round to a review of what is simply A FANTASTIC BIKE !I bought the City Thunder for work about 4 to 5 months ago as work was about 20 miles return and I had no vehicle and what problems it solved. No more having to get lifts or relying on anyone else to get me to work as I worked shifts in a bakery. I was and am fully fit, and this bike allows you to put as much or as little effort in as you want.I prefer to put effort in and the health benefits are great,but these bikes are fantastic if you have things like joint problems as the pedal assist function and twist grip throttle give you all the support you need.I ride my bike all the time and its a sheer joy.All I can add to my comments is that this piece of engineering is the best thing I have ever bought!!!
And the guys in the shop were knowledgeable helpful and courteous.I have waited a few months to write my review but all I can say is what a superb bike! |

we have had our bike for just over a year and had no problems just replaced batteries after 12 months of daily use. daily journey 6 miles. occasionally a 14 mile round trip. Bike is heavy at 37kg. but on the move this isnt really noticable the gearing is good. The bike is robust and well built the motor a little noisy. a great intro bike. Our only complaint is lack of facillity for carrying luggage
We have been unable to locate a rear carrier, which means trying to get one made speciffically for the bike. othet than taht complaint our bike as been great. If any body know where i can get a rear carrier please email me. |
