    Raleigh Motus or Giant Prime E+2 ?

    I am so crap at bargaining & he was such a nice old man I'm giving him £1500 :eek: . At the moment I'm leaning towards the crossbar version as it feels a better fit & somewhere on here I read it may be a bit more stable over rough paths. Still time to change my mind on that though, he's...

    Raleigh Motus or Giant Prime E+2 ?

    OK, another option has come up for my first ebike - a second hand 9 month old Motus, barely used apparently, or new 2015 model Prime E +2. For general commuting and weekend hilly jaunts... any advice? Both approx the same price. Thanks to all previous responders, this is a great forum!

    Giant Roam XRE or Giant Prime E + 2?

    I need advice please! I'm a fairly experienced female cyclist about to buy my first ebike... my local(ish) (and very trusted bike shop, who I have bought all my bikes from with excellent customer service) has 2015 models of the above bikes discounted to £1499 and £1699 respectively, with extras...
