Thanks for this . Is there a way of comparing forks/drive trains/brakes? I'm no expert. Thanks

All hybrid bikes with Bosch Performance CX motors, with similar displays and batteries, at similar prices. Given that, are they all much of a muchness or are there some I would definitely avoid/go for? Thanks

Hi, I have noticed that some of the Wisper Wayfarer bikes claim to have a Super Hi Torque Mid Drive 43.2V 250W motor with 100Nm. Has anyone compared these bikes to a similar bike with a Bosch CX Gen 4 motor on an incline? Please let me know - thanks!

Hi, I had a Focus Aventura 2 from 2018 with the Bosch CX Gen 2 motor. Unfortunately it got stolen and so am looking at a replacement. I want something with the torque ability of the Bosch CX Gen 2 or above. On looking at options I see the Wisper Wayfarers (M7/M9) had "Super Hi Torque" of 100nm...

Well practically speaking I wish to go my local Halfords and get an electric bike that is best at getting me up steep hills. Not too bothered by range as commute just 10 miles. Has to be road legal. What would you get?

So about middle of the range?

Thanks for all this. So I trialled a Carrera Crossfire e-Bike which 36V and current 11.58Ah. On the spectrum of hybrid bikes is this particularly powerful or not? Thanks

Thanks for this. I still don't understand how you can have a e.g 36V 20A bike without it being taxed etc. As that equates to 720W and https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules says max output 250W. Thanks for bearing with me, a novice!

Do you mean live at the bottom of a hill? So essentially yeah I'd be more keen on a bike that can get me up hills easily, appreciating battery life may suffer. Is it a case of multiplying the voltage and current and going for whatever is highest?

Hi! I would like to cycle to work but it's a steep commute (10 miles, and multiple hills of 5-10% incline) there. I cycled on a Carrera CrossFire Hybrid on trial from Halfords and on the steep sections I had to put some effort in, which is an issue as I cannot shower when I arrive. I had...
