Just got alerted by Dazzassj6 that greenewheels have additional types of bikes for sale up on their site. Inlcuding a step-through bike, a folder (similar to the folders a few other places are selling on ebay) and a slightly different mountain bike style on with LiFeP04 batteries.
Also interesting the current range don’t appear to have disc brakes, just V brakes. As the disc brakes on the older Greenewheels were always a bit fiddly to work with this could be a plus for long term usability, though the extra stopping power of disc brakes are useful on an electric bike.
disclaimer: I don’t have any business relationship with greenewheels other than as a satisfied customer and ebike fan

I have purchase one of these bikes with the v brake not the disc and i can say that the stopping power is very good, i ride the easter freeway bike link to the city for work and the is a couple of massive hills around the tunnel entrance, never had any problems with stopping the bike.
i looked at purchasing the 13ah batt as a 2nd batt……..but way way to expensive…over half the price of the bike

good to hear the all V brake model works well!
yeah after looking at DIY ebike stuff it is apparent that the battery is one of the major expenses for an ebike. the tech seems to be improving and evolving however.
