The-Man-From_Uncle Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Try and visit a couple of shops and have a hands on of some models. If you personally like a model then buy it and try it. Like you say 160 pounds to buy a model a charger and may be an extra cell which should be possible. There are some models like the bugsta that would also fall into your price range. A lot depends on what you like and what you want to do. Just make sure whatever you buy that you can easily pick up the most common spare parts just in case.
