I was thinking a hybrid MTB frame with a minimum 500wH battery. Say to do a 50km round trip & pedal assist mid mount motor. Not interested in the rear mounted motors. Not that interested in doing full sends down hill. Want to get 'some' fitness in when I want but have the ability to crank the assistance up on the hills home.
It needs to look the goods to match the appearance of my Cervelo  if possible.
Im prepared to spend a little extra for the right livery and slightly better specs than pov pack. |
No worries mate.
Honestly from what you think you'll use it for. Id be looking at a trail bike 140mm front/rear travel. Go anywhere do most things kinda bike
I forgot to mention the looks thing. Ebikes are a relatively new thing and the early ones were horrible, but they are getting there thats for sure.
Im not all that brand loyal, well iam but the brand i want just doesnt have the BFYB really.
But my current bike being my first foray into ebikes for me have some real good value going on.

Still a lot of coin, but the spec sheet speaks volumes imo. Theres also the 500 model too
Its not as heavy hitting as the e160 but as i said it'll do everything that you want
