The one with a Buy it Now of £550 "needs a service to get it running!" Must admit, had heard they fetched pretty high prices, even if they were much mocked! (Willing to stand a bit of mockinjg for £500+!)
Think if I did have one of these, I'd be selling it, sorry OP!

You could get an electric bike for less than £500... Any good as an alternative?

I've looked at All Terrain Bikes before, but I'm interested to see Tesco and Asda both have an offering now. A sign that these will become more commonplace?

BTW, if its hilly where you live may be something to consider. I live at the top of a 1 in 10 hill, and not all electric bikes will go up hills like that, and as for the other hill to my house, which is a 1 in 7, forget it. I'm still at the consideration stage, not buying. Its on my shopping list for next Spring at the moment.

I was living in Cambridge when Sinclair (a Cambridge-based company) introduced the C5. Despite being a university city where every student has a bike, I only ever saw two C5s in the city! And both of those were rental models from a shop on Mill Road I also saw one in Papworth Everard being used as a disability vehicle.

The only other C5 I have seen is in Hull - at a disability vehicle company. I think they may still have it!
