Hi All
I've recently discovered the forum, and have already had some good advice, and seen some options I'd not thought of.
Was once a keener cyclist than now, got back into it mid-90s(I'm mid-40s) with the MTB boom with a Raleigh, then a Kona followed by a lovely Giant in NZ then a cheapo Specialized (that's not got much use this Summer due to my laziness).
Going to be moving house very soon, and facing a 2-3 mile each way commute rather then the sub-5 min walk I currently do. Not quite up to cycling the lot on my standard pushbike and arriving sweaty - then dreading the slog home......
Was originally inspired by seeing something on the Gtech Sport - then saw the (now departed) Freego Raptor.
Both struck me with their super clean design and single-speed / courier styling. However, the lack of gears and the possibility of crazy cadence over 15 mph was a slight concern.
Latest bike that caught my eye - thanks to this very forum - is the Greenedge CS2. Looks nice for an eBike (IMHO) and has gearing. Just a bit worried by some of the kit (Forks look cheapo, and the tyre look chunky - not sure how rolling resistance would affect performance/range?).
Anyway , I'm sure you'll see me pop up on threads on here in future. And any advise/tips gratefully received.
All the best
