Thanks Zack! I bought a Coyote Commute in the end for just under 400, great condition only lightly used. :)

Thanks Kuorider, that's really helpful. I've (almost) decided to go for a Byocycle purchased through our cyclescheme from e-bikesdirect.co.uk. The lightest is the Chameleon Tornado at 19kg but it is quite a lot of money. What do you guys think, is this is the right choice?

Redoing makeup having sweated it all off is a pain! I'm surprised e-bikes don't lead with this feature in their advertising. ;) I'll keep the Dahon Speed D7 on the cards for now and have another look at what's available 2nd hand. I think a cycle scheme one isn't totally off the cards though -...

Second-hand non folding models on Gumtree I have found include: Claud Butler Nimbus: http://claudbutler.co.uk/product/nimbus-20/ Bickerton Junction 1507 country: http://www.bickertonportables.co.uk/bikes/junction/junction-1507-country/ Dahon Curve: http://dahon.com/bikes/curve-d3/ Dahon...

Thanks all. Yesterday I lifted up an 18kg folding ebike in a shop, and that was doable - so maybe nothing much more than that - say 20kg? So that leaves no more than 14kg of weight. I will have a look for something light on gumtree today. I have asked and my employer does do cyclescheme. I...

Thanks all, I do appreciate the pointers. I have had a look at second hand and there are a few lightly used electric folding bikes which are coming up as slightly above/within my budget - which do you reckon would be the best option for me? I need to get up one category 3 hill, as well as go...

I would spend more if I could, but I really can't - I'm not going to get in to justifying why. I do appreciate your advice but a more constructive approach would be more useful to me. 'you will be on your own as regards any after sales service' Yeah, I accept that. A lot of the suppliers use...

Thanks for your help. It really is the case that I just can't afford anything more than about 400 quid - even that is quite a lot for me right now! With that in mind, I've been looking at direct from the maker, via Alibaba. My current picks are: These three from Shuangye, who have a good name...

Hey there. I have sold my old (almost new) bike due to having moved workplace, which means my commute has changed. Instead of down one big hill which is apparently a category 3 on length/difficulty and then a flat route into and out of my little city of no more than about a mile, it's now down...
