Hi Tony. I have the same bike, same colour. I picked the Mirider after I test rode a few bikes. I love it. But I’ve had an issue with it. After 8 weeks and 200 miles it developed a loud screech from the motor. The motor is loud but this sound was high pitched. It also would occasionally lose assistance. It was difficult to pedal. I returned it to the cycle shop where I purchased it and they replaced the controller. The fix only lasted a week and the same problems returned. The shop got Mirider involved so I then dealt with them directly. They worked on the bike changing the cable harness and another controller. But having the bike back the same problem returned within a week. I then went to the Mirider factory in Wigan to discuss the problems face to face. They gave me a loan bike so they could have my bike longer to sort the issues out. They have now replaced the motor and rear wheel. I’ve had it now for two weeks and all seems to be good. I must say Mirider have been brilliant to deal with. When things go wrong you can then judge the company, but Mirider have been first class. In your case I would definitely contact them. I know the warranty states you must be the first purchaser, but I’m sure they would help you out seeing that the bike has done so few miles.

Rebadged onebot? 499 dollars in the states.

Hi Tony, it’s certainly a nice looking bike great colour choice as well. It’s going to be interesting to see how you get on with the problems though, good luck.

I’m a hgv driver and been tempted to get something like the mirider, just for parking up on a night to bike to a local gym and back probs around 50 miles a week! Nice video buddy

Another great video and good info on the bike hope you get the problems sorted on the bike

First of all thanks for the video👍 Ive been looking at getting two of these for quite a while but now Im ready to pull the trigger and done some further research Im seeing firstly the price has gone up and many people saying realisticly a full charge will get you no where near the advertised 40 miles. I have seen reviews saying anywhere between 11 and 20 on a full charge which has put a dampener on things, secondly hearing quite a few complaints about reliability. Wondering if you would have still bought this knowing the faults youve had in such a short period of ownership?

I got the original mirider from 4 years ago for 850 grom 1000... Its been pretty impressive especially as my bike is literally old spec to todays versions. Also mirider dont own frame work... Currently Life Force with better 20 inch wheels is seen on Argos n Very sites. (Other specs possibly not as good as mirider) Oddly my battery compartment is smoother than yours to get out ... Though handle had broken but i since upgraded battery. Im currently this week getting hydraulic brakes put on as find squeaky brakes too annoying and are hard marginal of error to fix by myself or 2 bikes shops that repair it.

I just charge the bike with battery inserted. Either in the garage or I bring it in the house.

Motor sounds a bit noisy to me too, I have a Gocycle G4i and you can hardly hear the motor.

Mines really quiet

You should have got a Brompton if you wanted a foldable bike, folds smaller, rides better. I wouldn't have an E- bike, it is like giving in and walking with a stick, an E bike doesn't fit in with staying active as your your video title says. I am 64 and still race push bikes never mind just riding them to stay active. Probably why I don't need an e bike.

These are useless bikes. Already it turned out to be dead and would not switch on. only to discover one of the green small connectors had come apart due to no slack in the cable, when folding the handle bars down puts tension on the cable and the connectors come apart. Only done less than 5 miles
