A bargain buy but possibly not quite sturdy enough for my needs
I've had my Power Plus Cx1 for a few months now, so I've given it a good long run before leaving a review. I decided to go for a budget model as this is my first e-bike, and having moved to a new area, I wanted to assess how much I would actually use it before splashing out loads of dosh on a posh one. It’s been a hot sunny summer for a change, so I ended up using it almost every day, either going out morning and evening for a jolly, or going to work on it. The power assist option is brilliant; the first time you use it, you can really feel a surge as you pedal, and it’s really exhilarating. I was pleased to see I could ride out for two continuous hours at a time, and come home not feeling close to death, as I would have on my old standard bike. The ground was rock hard for want of rain and I was following a lot of green lanes; after about a month the front suspension was shot so I had that fixed, and my mechanic said he didn’t think it was much good to start with. The countryside round here is very hilly and I’m on my brakes a lot. I’ve had to tighten them up constantly and on one occasion had to brake sharply to avoid a collision, at which point I shattered a brake disc. I’ve now swapped the whole system for hydraulics, and although that has raised the overall cost of my ‘budget buy’, I feel a lot safer. I’ve also bought a fat saddle and a flexing seat post for it, and the bike is a lot more comfortable now. I was jarred to a virtual frazzle before. I won’t say this is a fantastic bike, but it is relatively cheap, and for me it was a good introduction into what an e-bike can do. If you just want a bike for commuting on the road, or for gentle jaunts at the weekend, this is a good buy. If you want to push the envelope a bit and do a lot of off-road miles over rough ground, you may want to go for something a bit more substantial. I’m looking longingly at a Pedego Fat Tire trail bike at the moment. One day…Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Rated: Very fair 5/10 about half as good as a 10/10 higher end e-bike, but only a 3rd of the price; and so not a bad choice as a 1st e-bike.
Ten days in and I would so far, absolutely recommend this inexpensive Cyclamatic Power Plus CX1 e-bike for anyone who may need an easier ride with some exercise on the road. There is far less sweat involved with the ability to do commuting and very gentle off-roading; E.G. dirt lanes/ track paths only. The quality is basically good at this price point but also mixed, by this I mean that the motor and battery seem good and the shimano gears; but this is not a true mountain bike off-roader. It does not have a light weight balanced frame at this low price, with proper dirt track tyres and hydraulic disk brakes and so on. It's frame is steel and it's very strong but also heavy. You are mainly paying for the decent hub motor and the 36v/316wh battery attached to a basic; but functional 'mountain bike'. If you lack experience of e-bikes and want to 1st get started for minimum outlay; then its fine for UK road use + 20 mile round trips once you get it all adjusted. This bike appears to fall under the category of an Electronically Assisted Pedal Cycle or EAPC with no throttle fitted; and has max motor power output of 250w. Plus it’s restricted to 15mph, so that means it's good news and should meet current requirements to ride on UK roads or anywhere else you can normally cycle. A restricted Pedal Assist CUT-OFF is Fitted as required: so it cannot continue to propel you when you peddle to more than 15mph, so should be compliant under the combined EU LAW BS EN15194 & UK Road Traffic Act which is good to know. So, my advice is don't buy any e-bike with over 250w motor fitted if you intend to ride on UK roads; higher rated motors will give way more speed, but most cycles were never designed to go at very high speeds and so could become unstable and dangerous; the e-bike speed restriction is there for a very good reason; so best get a proper road motor bike if you want to go fast on the road. The pedal assist works well and won't begin until your off and pedalling; so I like the safety feature here, as it can’t ‘speed away from you’ before your ready; or jerk forward when your giving way to traffic. It arrives having been packed and stored in a big box, and comes mostly pre-built, so it needs minimal final assembly. But assembly also includes lots of adjustment afterwords; and so won't be a doddle unless you get some help or are experienced yourself to assemble it and then set it all up correctly. Most I imagine after being crammed in a box will need some degree of wheel spoke alignment; gear alignment, disk brake alignment and or various safety checks done; both mechanical and electrical before you ride it on the road with any confidence. My bike arrived with a few small scratches on the forks and needed 6 spokes adjusting to true the front wheel. The 21 speed gears needed adjusting to all work as they should and the disk brake pads were rubbing; all had to be adjusted before test riding out; so get the battery charged to full while you work. Test ride: This went OK..quite zippy with the little motor boosting you impressively up to its max 15mph quickly and quietly, which is actually enough speed and a safe speed to help you over any longer distance ride involving hills. It handled a few steep hill climbs changing down gears it kept on moving up hill slowly at 5mph and it passed 3 cyclists who had given up; and were off their bikes and pushing them up the hill. Zipping down dry dirt lanes it handled the loose rocks and pot holes fine with it’s front suspension forks and semi off road tyres; but I would not trust it to hold up though a wet muddy wood track with steep jumps and down hill runs. The tyres are Kenya hybrid 26" and more 'on road' than pure off road chunky knobble. One tip is to remember to always lock the battery into place with its key, this will stop it bouncing out of place if you go over a bad bump. This bike can be ridden as a normal bike without turning on any assist, Its assist range is OK lasting 20 miles round trip with heavy use of assistance. Closer to 30 miles can be achieved by simply now and then turning off the power and riding on flat parts as you would on a normal bike. You can also help extend battery life by not pedalling when going down any steep hill so not activating the motor. You can feel the weight at first of it's steel frame riding in UN-powered mode, but its not bad once it's moving due to its decent 21 speed gears and having set it up right helps this bike out a lot. One thing to remember: do check your brakes are never rubbing as this will rob you of motors top speed and drain your battery and your energy. To sum up: I would rate it a very fair at 5/10 meaning it’s about half as good as a 10/10 higher end e-bike, but at a 3rd of the price; it's got to be a bargain. The cx1 appears to be not a bad choice as a 1st e-bike, and it responds to being set up. Reviews may reveal any design problems to take note of.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Works well - after a service.
This bike works great now, but I had to have it serviced which cost me an extra 60 GBP. Before I did so, the brakes were rubbing and the brake cable was rubbing against the tire. There were also issues with the front wheel. Now it's up and running properly I must say it works very well, the motor seems powerful and makes climbing hills very easy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Exceeded expectations
I bought this as I wanted a relatively inexspensive ebike to start off with. I live in the Valleys area of South Wales so have some steep hills to deal with and so far this bike has exceeded my expectations. It was easy to assemble and the only modifications I have made is to swap the saddle with a gel type one and added mud guards. I'm now enjoying getting out on a bike again after a few years without one and so far so good. This makes going up the hills back to my home much easier than I could otherwise do it. The only downside is its weight but I think this is offset by the practicality of the overall package.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

19 stone will it do wot it says on the tin ?
I am 19 stone and need to get fitter and this bike Is like a train you need to keep pedalling with it witch is good to help to get rid of the pounds,but it helps all the way a would say about 70% but at the same time you still have to ride it like a bike.the only thing is that I can not get the handle bars to go higher. So money well spent and would recommend this to anyone. I did 8miles on my first trip out so well impressed(on flat land)and still got 3 lights left on the battery so I would so good for 20 miles plus return trip.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

My first electric bike.
Only built the bike up this morning, there was no instructions with the bike but it was a pretty straight forward build. Fiirst electric bike I have ever had so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one, I have just been out for a short ride and I must say I am impressed. Well worth the money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent value for money
Excellent value for money. Could do with product specific instructions on how to assemble the bike. Instructions included are for the foldable bike and nothing similar to the ones needed. Lots of trial and error assembling parts. Got there eventually. 56 year old female who hasn’t built a bike in 40 years!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very impressive!
Very pleased with this - happily does 20mile round trip on a single charge, with plenty left in as well. Surge when motor kicks in (Shimano) is well documented, and easy to get used to. Came with mudguards. Requires mountain bike carrier (saddle stem mounted) - no lugs on frame for lower support of conventional carrier, but mountain bike carrier works well. No complaints at all - helps a pensioner to continue to cycle, without too much strain on knees and lungs. Would definitely recommend!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
