Video review of the 19″ Carrera Crossfire-E bike. Purchased from Halfords. This is the stock bike but with an upgrade to the tyres to Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres.
Bike can currently be purchased for £999 with a 10% discount available if you get British Cycling membership.
My first bike review. Hope you enjoy.

Hi there good review does the bike give you a lot of help and do you have to put much pressure on the pedals and can you cycle longer without getting tiered… Cheers
Saima B, if you’re still monitoring your uploads how are you finding this bike a year on?
I’m thinking of buying the 2017 version and wondered if you’d encountered any of the power drop outs reported by a few of the reviewers on the Halfords site. My commute is a long one for an e-bike at 20 miles or so each way but mostly on a gently undulating/flat coastal route, always into a headwind no matter which way I go (or so it seems). As something of a lard ar$e myself I’m looking for an e-bike that’s robust enough to reliably cope with me and the mileage on a regular basis. Any new info would help. Thanks in advance.
Helpfull review thx! Does the diplay be take off? Have u considered any other ebike before purchase this one? Have u heard of the gtech bike? Any opinions? Thx again.
best investment ever
not a goat (lol), but a Gazelle, they are fast! Nice review.
I’ve got the Carrera Crossfire – non-electric. It’s alright, but I’m not overly impressed. I wanted to get the electric version, but haven’t been very comfortable on the regular version – the geometry of the frame wasn’t great for long rides – I decided not to go ahead with a heavier electric version. Now I’ve got the A2B Hybrid – a magnificent e-bike.
great review can i ask what sort of speed do you get out of it with no assist and then with assist
I tried out various bikes before I got this one. It was the best for me and I’m happy with the purchase. The display doesn’t come off unless you unscrew it but it’s waterproof so not worried about leaving it outside.
I did look at the GTec one but the battery capacity on that one is a lot lower so went for this in the end. The Gtec battery is less than half the capacity of this one.
In terms of power. If you put it on full assist you don’t have to put much effort in. If you put it on a lower setting you’ll have to put more effort in.
So tempted. Thanks for the info.
Linda. Hope you enjoy the bike. It’s really good. Gears work fine. Didn’t change them whilst moving in the video as I was mainly cycling with one hand. Definitely recommend using both hands. 🙂
Is it for sale?
Thank you very much for this video. I struggled to find decent reviews etc about this bike. I have now purchased the female version today and am currently charging. Can’t wait to get out on it. I will be using 2 hands though.
hi, did the stand come included , i can’t seem to fit a third party kick stand with the amount of cables on the frame .i need one ,thanks
Hi. The puma is the top speed and the Goat is to assist climbing hills.
tops out on assist at 25kmh due to EU law
can you charge it while pedaling??
I didn’t notice you changing any gears, any reason for that.
Hello, does the bike go without any peddling, just using battery power only? Also Does the battery charge when peddling only
got one on order
Thinking of getting a bike like this for commuting, just wondering how many miles does the bike do on a full charge? dont know if you have the numbers between what was achieved when new compared to now?
what is the max speed of this bike
A goat?!?! Its a Gazel
Thanks, enjoyed your review, especially seeing it out in action over some trails. Encountered one in the wild the other day, owner was pretty happy with it. Online spec still states 9aH battery but they seem to come with a larger capacity battery (11.6) like yours now. The price has gone up to £1100 recently though.
