cyclotricity just open its homepage in sweden and there are a lots of "lies".
"Our bikes are the only electric bike range that is entirely built on our beloved island (england)".
Most of their bikes have only standard chinese stuff like 8fun motors and bottle batteries. Some of the high end ones have stuff that looks like they could be "hand mounted" in england but surely chassis, parts and electronics come from china.
They are also offering the bikes for the same price as straight from china bikes so i would love to get the input of this community.
Is this brittish company really making top quality ebikes by hand (that look and cost like the chinese ones)?
The have made the "frame design" themselves ins CAD but that is probably all that is unique.
On their cheapest €700 ebike ($800) it seems like everything is from china:
Sahara electric bike http://cyclotricity.com/sahara-electric-bike/
On their high-end side, lets take the Stealth 1000W (i beet they have not heart of stealth electric bikes line?):
http://cyclotricity.com/stealth-1000w/
Im not so shure BUT i think the engine looks like a MAC från em3ev and the battery case, is that from china or "hand made in england" to look lie the Chinese ones?
Please let me know your opinion on these bikes?
What is actually made in england except assembly and CAD design of the frame?
