General Discussion / Re: Buying an EV with range 50 miles+ and for under £3,000.

Thanks for the replies; I thought I was missing something........ you can buy a polaris utility vehicle for £12,000. I would expect these to be at least double the price of a two wheeler!??? These can go 50 miles (tops!) and motor at 50 m.p.h. seat two people side by side etc. etc. It seems like the world of electric motor bikes is a little overpriced for what they can do. Maybe I'll wait a year for a manufacturer to put out a competitive model.

I have a land rover which is a necessity for work-28m.p.g :-(  I would like to mount an EV bike on the back when I just need to get about. I figure the lightness of the bikes will make this possible. It would be good to get a range of plus 50 miles and my budget will only stretch to £3,000. Highly reliable is a must. Is there a bike on the market that will do this- if not how many years am I going to have to wait for the technology to catch up?
   On a side note why don't manufacturers just mount a YASA motors....motor straight on to the wheel? I think the same motor can regen as well as far as i'm aware and their lightweight philosophy seems to fir with an EV bike well.
