    Help! Which bike for 6 mile hilly commute

    Thanks all, great advice!, I will check out the hill gradient later if it tells me, to be honest I'm not bothered if it's slightly illegal, has anyone ever been pulled up on an electric Bike? I want to get there in no more than 20 minutes, might be pushing it, the petrol scooters are edging...

    Help! Which bike for 6 mile hilly commute

    Thanks all, to be honest I still can't decide between electric Bike and petrol moped, do the electric bikes do 15 mph up the steepest hills? The hills are massive round here!

    Help! Which bike for 6 mile hilly commute

    Help! Which bike for 6 mile hilly commute

    We are selling our second car to save money, it's a toss up between a moped/small motorbike and an electric bike, the obvious benefits being little or no running cost on the electric bike!, would have to do cbt and bike tests which aren't cheap nowadays!.
