Powerider Aries

After 9 months of use I am still very impressed with my Powerider Airies. It looks good, is very comfortable to ride, quiet, and rolls along easily. The range of gears available is more then adequate. The mid-drive motor is an advantage in that it can make use of the bike's gears to provide additional assistance up a steep hill with higher speeds being available along the flat sections. The step-through design is a boon for older riders like me. The larger battery has allowed me to complete 80 klm rides with power to spare. Jimmy's after sales support has been very good, with a few minor adjustments being carried out quickly with a smile.

The Powerider Aries 700c Step-through is a mid-drive e-bike with a light Li battery on a rear rack and hydraulic disc brakes.
The Aries motor sits low in the centre of the bike, instead of bouncing up and down in the middle of a wheel. The drive through the rear wheel is firmly on the ground up a hill, and overcomes front wheel spin.
Pedal power is combined with electric power in a mid-drive bike and is transmitted to the rear wheel through the gears. Changing gears keeps the pedals turning at a steady speed, and the motor too. So the motor s

Apart from looking good, the Aries 700C is a great bike to ride. I have a Vivente touring bike with Rohloff gears (which is nearly twice the price) and it's a beautiful bike, But with a recent spiral fracture of my femur (thanks to a car driving in front of me) the Vivente will not be an option to ride until about 6 months of recovery. The Powerider Aries 700C is an option, and I started riding after 2 months.
Now just over 3 months and I've done about 600km including a recent weekend away along the Warburton trail and O'Shannessy Aqueduct tr

I already owned two electric bikes, a Zocco Rosa and an Ultra Ryder, which I really enjoy riding. I decided to buy my wife a step-through electric bike for her 60th birthday.
After much research, I had decided to order a BH Gacella, a well known brand that was being offered at a special price. Before I placed the order, I came across the Powerider Aries, which Jimmy pointed out that, for a slightly higher cost ,comes with a mid drive rather than a front hub drive. It also has a 14AH battery and hydraulic brakes, which you only find on higher e

Haven't had the bike long but love it so far. Easy to ride, powerful and the battery seems to last forever. The quality of the gears and all fittings seems to be very good. Can't fault at this stage. We were really looked after when we bought the bike, highly recommend.

Have many great cycling trails near home which go for miles, but getting older, I couldn't take advantage of these facilities, but now on a ebike I can ride all day, could even burn off Lance Armstrong, the bikes are quite, quick, no registration, look like any other normal bike and have fantastic range.
