Powerider Thunder (2020)

Having already bought a poweride Charger, I wanted to get an e-bike for my partner who had ridden and enjoyed my bike. Jimmy suggested the Thunder and delivered it the same day. It's quick, sturdy and looks awesome - so that's two poweriders in the house. Thanks Jimmy!

After doing much research into purchasing an ebike I Purchased the thunder ebike,great value ,well built ,great bike,very good to ride! Goes up steep hills with ease,has excellent braking ,Thanks Jimmy!

I am 65 with bad knees looking for a way to exercise my knees without sweating too much in North Queensland. I enjoy getting out and do more riding now. We do local rides and rail trails for which it is great. Not a full on mountain bike it is hard tail and gearing is a bit tall for crazy trail climbs. Great all round mid drive bike at a good price.

I bought a Thunder 29er E Bike off Justride in 2017" to help my wife to still ride cycles as she had a leg injurery and couldn't keep up with me on my bike . The Powerider has performed faultlessly in nearly 2 years having done four thousand kilometers she love it and I can't catch her bugger. It's been great to have the Thunder 29er as part of our bike collection . Thankyou Jimmy and Justride for suppling an affordable EBike .

Purchase Power Thunder 9 months ago and very happy with it has a few features that more expensive e bikes do not have.
I had 2 NZ friends over we are all approaching 80 and hired 2 power thunders for a week at a most reasonable price all bikes performed excellently on the East Gippsland Rail Trail and Great Southern Trail.
Jimmy was very helpful and professional with the pick up and return
Thanks Jimmy

After much research purchased the 29er Thunder back in March 2018 and have since ridden over 1500Kms. Central crank definitely the way to go and bike has performed well with very long lasting battery. If you use combination of low or no peddle assist, power throttle and gears have managed well over a 120klm on a single charge and getting a great workout. Jimmy at Justride great to deal with!

Rides very smooth also u can go longer on a full battery
I do not hear the motor going when rinding
easy to maintain the frame of the bike is light weight and easy to carry
battery last a long time
does not take long for the battery to charge
Battery with usb is good to have and useful

Once the bike arrived it didn't take long to assemble. If the battery had been fully charged I could have been on the road within the hour. The handbook was informative but I found the 10 min video much more helpful in the assembly and with the operation of the computer. I ride about 10 to 15 Klm each day. The bike handles well and the disc brakes are very affective even stopping quickly from 35 /40 kph. I am very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended.

I have looked around everywhere for a good electric bike to get me from a to b but I was shocked at how much a basic electric bike costs these days. I stumbled upon the Thunder and I knew I had to have one. The purchased one a few weeks ago and I was surprised at what features the bike had - similar bikes would have cost over $5000.00 at other stores. Ordering from the store was a breeze and it only took 4 business days to arrive at my door. Assembly was relatively easy and the bikes computer is fairly straight forward to setup to your own

I am 81 and have ridden the Thunder hard,1000 Ks in 9 weeks on sealed roads with gradients up to 18% , battery lasting 70 Ks, less aggressive riding should go 100 Ks. The hand throttle allows you to match speeds with group riding. Trails rides with to 40 KPH setting are possible. You can set the bike so you ride with little effort or get a good workout using the various levels of Power and Assistance.

August 9th 2017 Update: Great value

I wrote an earlier review on the 8th August, where I compared the Powerider to a bike with a Bosch syst

I've purchased 3 electric bikes over the past 12 months all from justride. The powerrider thunder is a great bike. Battery lasts longer than my other 2 electric bikes, and the bike itself feels well built. I would recommend this bike to anyone considering an electric bike. I completed a lot of research prior to buying and found this bike to the best value for money.

I bought this bike with 2 purposes in mind. Cycling with my partner, and commuting to work. I'm a keen cyclist and it has always been difficult for me and my partner to cycle together due to our different paces. Now she can keep up and even leave me behind on the hills... its great! With a 30km commute to work I'm also using this bike to commute on the days that I'm tired or its windy. The only problem experienced so far was a loud and worrying clicking sound. Jimmy advised that this was the pedals loose on the crank and that threadlock could b

Great bike, every thing feels top quality, done a few 2-3 hour rides, never had a problem with the battery. I have a camper van and what used to be a problem of packing up to go into town, beach or just to buy milk isn't a problem anymore, a 2, 5, 10km ride is as easy as I want to to be, and won't take long, Very satisfied
