Since the last Forestal ebike deal was so "popular".
Cyon halo $5625 was $7500
Cyon neon $6750 was $9000
Cyon diode $8625 was $11500
Prices rounded for simplicity.
Shipping approx $300
There are also other products available with extra 25% off.
Inb4 still more expensive than my car.
Are the rrp's inflated? What are the motors like?
I just ordered the focus thron deal instead
rrp's are inflated. I think when they were 50% off rrp, they were priced very competitively. extra 25% off that is downright cheap. Particularly the mid spec model, carbon frame, carbon wheels in a lightweight e bike package. You can't get that anywhere else for under $7000. The bike only weighs 17 - 19kg depending on model and size.
There is a pretty good review on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jairmrvR_Fk
The motor seems plenty strong enough for a lightweight ebike. It's in a different category than Focus Thron which is a full weight, full power ebike.
The motor, which is made by Bafang can be opened and serviced. Which is a very welcome feature.
Focus Thron is a good buy as well though, enjoy.
Crazy that only a few months ago these were $12-17k.
Would imagine they basically sold zero of them and that's probably continued.
I really like the idea of an integrated battery/controller but it's probably a harsh reality that any crash could basically result in a 100% loss of function due to the proprietary nature of the designs.
I think your shipping is a bit off. I only paid 90$ish. The "get some a mechanic to build it for you" was $300.
I'm in WA. When i checked shipping, the mechanic to build for you was the cheapest option at $300. Standard shipping was around $320.
Good that it's cheaper for you.
Wow.
Sad that the previous deal got so many more votes than this. Bargain fatigue I guess. I was trying to negotiate a better deal on the previous one but they said they could only go $500 lower. Lies I tell you lies.
Which is the best OzBargain, a $5000 machine for making me a couple of cups of coffee a day, or a near $10,000 machine that saves me having to pedal? Nah, can't decide. Its tough living in the first world.
