Hi all,
My dad is in his 60s and wants to get back into cycling with an e-bike. He is considering a more expensive option (e.g. Tern) later down the line, but for now we want to get a cheaper (~£1000-1200) bike to see if he enjoys it. Ideally he wants to do minimal repairs/maintenance himself, possibly making the Engwe (warehouse) & Powerhog (office far away) options below less enticing. He will be mostly be doing light, commuter-style riding on road but if he could go on gravel, flat forestry etc that would be a bonus.
He is after a foldable e-bike and is currently looking at these 2 options from local stores:
1) Raleigh Stow-E-Way @ £999
2) Li-Fe Flo @ £1100 (also available here at £999 but would probably buy local for 2 free services)
I have been advised that the mag wheels + disc breaks probably edge it to the Li-Fe Flo out of these 2?
---
I am trying to help find a better option and have found the following mentioned here & on Reddit:
3) Fiido D11 @ £899
4) Powerhog Deluxe Commuter @ £825
5) Woosh Rambletta @ £1069
6) Engwe C20 Pro @ £849
I am keen to hear your perspectives on any substantial technical/safety differences between them, and which one you would personally recommend! Open to other foldable suggestions in same price range too.
Thank you, really looking forward to hearing some opinions!
