Very cheap ebikes - and good ones!

Just seen this
https://www.electric-bikestore.com/product/raleigh-motus-hybrid-electric-bike-step-over-frame/

same bike as mine which is normally around £2000

but reduced to just under £400


check it out - might be too good to be true

but at that price it is cheaper to buy a bike than to replace my battery!!!

I would be looking for a bit more background. What's the catch? If it sounds too good to be true...

Odd that the Contact Us e-mail address is a personal one, not a company one.

Smells fisher than Accy's home made apple pie.

I'd go with the old 'If it looks too good to be true...' saying.

Of course the company that owns Raleigh has just gone bust

which might explain things

 

[Rusty Nails]

Definitely something dodgy about that site.

Well spotted

I was starting to think it was just "some bloke in his shed" who has managed to but up a job lot

but there seems to be a lot of stuff they can sell you

I started off looking because someone on the WWW was asking about a batteyr cover for a Raleigh Motus and I found one there

but looking further

Hmmmm

There's a very similar site using .co.uk and not .com.

Read the about us section - should give you a good idea!!!

Similar but different

which makes it look even more dodgy!

Tried the link, but just hangs for me - no worries, just curious.
