Electric Bikes
Approximately 5 hours for a full charge, but you can get an 80% charge in just a couple of hours getting you back on the road quickly. With our new compact ‘pocket charger’, re-charging on the move is really easy.
Typically the X-byke will cover 20-40 miles on a single charge, range is dependant on several factors including rider effort, weight, head winds, hills, tyre pressure etc. Alternatively a second battery can be fitted to double the range.
Everyone! Powabykes are legally a bicycle and as long as you are over 14 years old you can ride it on the road without a driving licence, tax or insurance. We have leisure riders, commuters, grandparents going out with the grandchildren, delivery companies, police and even news paper boys!
The bike shares common electrical components including batteries, control systems and motor drives, making them easy to service. The ‘bicycle’ parts are common to conventional bikes making spares and servicing easy to accomplish.
The Powabykes are sourced in China, they are mainly British designed, and the final assembly is done in your local bike shop.
From all good bicycle stores and other specially selected retailers. Dealer information can be found on our website.
Warranty
X-byke comes with a comprehensive warranty on all parts including a 3 year warranty on the frame and 2 years on the lithium battery, and 1 year on the motor drive and the electrics. As you would expect, the obvious parts subject to wear and tear such as tyres and brake blocks are not covered, unless it’s an obvious manufacturing fault.
We also offer an extended warranty to give total cover for three years from the day you buy the X-byke at a small additional cost of just £99.00 – please ask for details.
