MiRider One e-bike

Hi. I was searching for info about the MiRider One e-bike however the one & only post about it is a few years old now.

I've been thinking about buying one of these as it's so easy to chuck in the boot of the car & take out for a ride when I feel like it. Previous bikes I've owned have always required wheels off to fit in the car or the use of a roof-rack, so there's something appealing about being able to easily & discreetly transport it and simply unfold it at the other end.

Lots of the online reviews are very positive but I noticed a few months ago that MiRider were touting for influencers to help them promote their bikes online.... presumably in exchange for freebies/discounts.

Do any of you own one & up for sharing a few words about what you think of it?

There is another Chinese based brand did exactly the same with so called influencers, one who I had time for.

Then on YouTube someone I watch has said he had problems, and you're effectively on your own. I looked at the trustpilot reviews and sure enough they were a majority of one star, saying don't waste your money, yet most of these influencers were saying they were great bikes!

I get your point but MiRider is UK based (Warrington or Wigan I think). They assemble the bikes here though I'm sure the parts, like most bikes, largely originate from China.

I test-rode both their One model & the GB3 (though more a spin round 2 blocks than a proper test-ride) & thought the One was decent enough but the GB3 was cracking.... both were head & shoulders above the Halfords folder I tried.

Just interested in opinions from anyone on here who owns one, particularly reliability & range.
