I am looking to buy my first ebike. I will be using it for a short commute, (mostly uphill), during the week and some fun at the weekends, (light off road, eg. overgrown tow paths, railway cuttings, etc.).

The problem I am having is finding the right size. I am just under 5ft 2in but have short legs. My old bicycle is a 14" frame with 26" wheels. I am really looking for a maximum of a 15" frame so I can have a suspension seat post.

I have already tried the 2018 Moustache 28.3 & 27.3, (which I love, but are expensive), Haibike Hardlife 2, Whyte Coniston & Liv Amiti E+. I also tried the Kalkhoff Entice but this was too big.

These are all at the top end of my budget so can anyone suggest any others that might be suitable?

My husband has also suggested that I might get on better with an IGH but these seem to be few and far between, even more so in a small frame, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
