Cheers, good to know!

@Monoblock @Eckythump @tisme How are your bikes getting on? On the verge of getting a Bold2, thought I'd check in with actual owners of something similar :)

@Jackie Sengal I'm currently shopping to replace my (much loved) Rio MTB, so I may be able to help! I'd definitely agree with a test ride, especially as you can afford a hub or crank drive motor - they're very different beasts. You could head to Halfords, as they stock both types. The voodoo...

Cheers - think we can do most of it from this end by the looks of it, we'll see where get by Tuesday :)

Excellent, thank you. My employer uses bike2workscheme.co.uk, looking through the docs they seem to issue a voucher - as you're on their list of approved suppliers I assume that's OK? Thanks

Handy. OK, you got me, I'll take one of your shiny new Rios :) Let's see if I can get all the cycle to work shenanigans sorted for the 8 May :) Have you got a sales email address to request a sample contract? Or can I PM you the details?

Looks great... Does that mean it's a seat clamp and support job like Andy suggested earlier? Getting slightly confused about what I'm looking for now :)

Brilliant, that's a whole new level of parcel tracking :)

Ah, I see, cheers. May as well do that myself. Is it just the standard GP1s not the gripshift ones for the Rio? (And is the Rio still arriving 8th May?) Also, and more generally. There's a million pannier racks out there, can anyone recommend one before I disappear down yet another rabbit hole...

That's good to know, thank you. Together with @d8veh's excellent advice I'm tending towards the Rio now! And the Ergon grips look great as I've got RSI - how much would it be for a Rio with a decent rear rack and Ergon grips?

The Bali is the one my head says go for :-) I am very much in favour of the bike stopping on request though, I suspect that might be an essential upgrade, and possibly one I'd prefer to pay someone to do. Does anyone know how tricky it is?

Hi there, another ebike newbie in need of advice here! My budget is basically the standard £1000 cycle to work one, plus a bit if needed, but with the ability to upgrade parts if needed from time to time if I feel the need. I'm 5'11", about 14 stone and 43, and currently not too fit, although I...
