For my e bike I use decent walking shoes. For my normal bikes I use cleats. Wouldn’t do without them to be honest.

I was 21 stone at the start of September and I’m now 18. Still have 4st to go though. I had a Scott E Sub at that weight with an Active Line Bosch motor and it was absolutely fine. I have been a regular cyclist for a long while and only use the e bike for commuting. Unfortunately my e bike and...

I’ve used Sealskinz for a long while and they are excellent.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve test ridden and ordered a Bergamont E-Horizon 7 from my local shop. Ticked all the boxes for me and the new Bosch Performance Line is really impressive compared to my last bike’s Active Line. Can’t wait to get back on the road now!

Thanks for that but it looks a bit small and I’m looking to buy new.

Cheers Andy. Cube are in my thoughts, as are moustache, Bergamont, Haibike and others. I cycle for leisure on my normal road bike so I’m definitely after a commuter/tourer. My battery is a 400 but I think I’ll go for a 500 this time. There’s so many bikes to choose from!

I thought about that but they no longer make them so I was thinking of something with the same battery set up. My main injuries were a fractured knee and ruptured acl. Enough to take me off the road for a bit unfortunately.

Hi all. I posted on here last year before I bought my first E Bike. I bought a Scott E Sub Active and was happy with until some silly driver ploughed through the back of me 2 weeks ago. The bike is a write off and I’m unable to ride for a while due to injuries. However, I am on the lookout for...

Trial went so well I ordered a Scott E-Sub Active. Looking forward to commuting everyday now.

First ride to work tonight and I must say it was fantastic. Still got a workout but was so much easier on the knees. Got the bike till Friday so hopefully all will go well. It’s perfect for commuting!

Thank you.

A Carrera Crossfire. It’s really just to see how I get on. I’ll still keep using my other bikes for leisure but I think commuting will be much better on an E Bike.

That’s good to hear. I’ve just booked a 48 hour trial for this week. Hopefully all will go well.

Hi. I am looking into going electric for commuting 18 miles round trip to work. I love cycling and own a Giant road bike, an old Raleigh Record Sprint and a Felt QX80 Hybrid. The problem lies with my knees. They’re fine when I go out for leisure riding but struggle when I have to do a shift at...
