I was looking at the electric push bikes at Big C. Has anyone on this forum actually bought one and do they care to give a report of it's efficiency. They look reasonably sturdy. It would be the battery life and the number of times it can be recharged etc etc that would be of concern. I can't get any info from the staff of course so .... anyone with actual real life experience of these bikes? (as opposed to wild speculation)..

Just an idea give this place a look. Better selection than Big C.

Have been to that shop they have a fair range but if you go to Mr Google..... electric bikes CM ....there are more options.

We didn't buy as we were not convinced there would be enough power to carry 2 people at the same time.However for just a single user, and not going far, seem to be a good option.

I would be super concerned about the value and length of the warranty.

That shop has been there for fair while, which is re assuring. If you bought from Big C and had a problem ....best of luck.

Any idea which models they putter around on in Vietnam? Because people were riding 2 up on those things everywhere in Hanoi.

Smaller people ?? My lady is only 43 kg but I am double that so its a lot to carry...We didn't test drive but just assumed that from the conversation we had in the shop . I am sure bigger ,better models are available since then,it was 4 years ago. I have always thought they would be a great mode of transport, ie motor cycle taxis, around CM's small sois and traffic providing they could cope with "farang" bodies of course.

Not sure about Hanoi, someone will know.

Thanks very much for all your help....and also thanks to the gentleman giving the GPS co-ordinates ..... however, alas, you're speaking Swahili to me....lol....no idea what you mean....
