I bought two fixed forks anyway, and so far I'm loving them! Not been on anything other than road and pretty smooth cycle lanes so far. Time will tell, but they seem great so far.

Rider size is not the issue, I'm after the most pleasant ride I can get from an ebike I can afford.

That's very interesting! Gonna have to ask ChatGPT to translate their website into "Luddite" so I can understand it, but I get the principle. Thanks.

In my mind, front suspension is quite important, but does anyone have the Rambletta without the front suspension? They all have the seat suspension, I believe. Would love someone's opinion on how comfortable it is to ride on canal towpaths and anything that's not glassy smooth. A simple test...

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. A bit to digest in there as I attempt to apply it to the bikes I've "short" listed (about 3000 of them!)

I have started to think down that route. Choose a good bike first, then worry about adding the electrics. We are going away for a few weeks in the van and want bikes for that, so I'm thinking down the cheap ebike route to get over the initial need, but a proper bike and conversion for the long...

@Woosh - just to say the Rambletta PDF manual on your website still has this contradiction in it. Page 10 says : Before riding your bike, check the tyre pressures. The tyres should be inflated to around 45psi (no more than 65psi) Page 14 says : Also check your tyre pressures often (before...

Thanks. I'd never heard of them until I joined this site. Never once came up in a google search in the 3 weeks I've been intensely researching. Does seem well liked on here.

Hello all, we (my wife & I) are looking for a couple of foldable ebikes and are, of course, overwhelmed by the choice. We don't care about how fast it will go, nor do we care about throttle-only performance (we want to peddle), but we do care about making light work of hills. We will be...

I'm Dave. My wife & I are buying a couple of folding ebikes to carry in our motorhome. Both mid 50s so not as fit as we used to be, so need a little help getting up those hills!
