I have been researching bikes and kits and have a plan A and a plan B now.
Plan A is to buy a reasonably priced bike that will suit my partner and I to share.
We are unlikely to need to use it at the same time so this gives us the opportunity to buy a better bike. So the issues are the size of the bike. She is 5'8" with an inside leg of 31" but I am 5'4" with an inside leg of 29" so I am the problem.
So far I like the look of the Oxygen emate City, the Volt Pulse and the Kudos bikes. We want a throttle, decent components, front suspension. I'd also like a good control panel with speed etc, but I guess a cylce computer can provide this if not. I prefer a crossbar and do not want a Dutch style bike....just not me.
Obviously I will need to try some bikes, but I can't find anywhere that has a good range of different bikes. I live in North Norfolk, so will need to travel!
So any suggestions of bikes and shops would be great, please.
Plan B is to convert my Giant XTC 4.5 small frame approximately 16" (not the extra small frame though) for me if no ady bikes fit me and partner buys a cheaper ebike for her.
All suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Julie
