Thanks flecc, I assumes I can always play with the sprocket size on the Kalkhoff to get a better top speed, at the expense of range? The other one I'm comparing it too is the Cytronex, which appeals to me in terms of design, but I'm not 100% sure on the hill climbing and towing - it's also a long way for me to go and try one
It's a struggle choosing, because drive-through-the-gears makes sense to me, but a high top speed and light bike would be nice to have too - and the Cytronex is £500 cheaper, and looks better too!
Hi Phil, yes, I'm reasonably fit, but am not currently towing a trailer up these hills, hence the desire for an e-bike of some sort to help out. The other problem is that after a a day's physical work in the wood I'm unlikely to have much enthusiasm for pedalling hard!
