I've watched the vid, and without being rude, I suggest Phill concentrates on directing and artistic values at this stage, rather than technical production.

Bergamont had some fairly high end trekking ebikes at the NEC bike show a couple of years ago. My local bike shop has just taken on Bergamont, partly because the manager knows the representative from his time with other brands. Maybe Scott hope they will complement their eMTBs, although...

No and yes. But if you asked the same question in Germany, the answer would be yes and no. While you're on, do I understand correctly Scott have bought the Bergamont brand?

Slightly better spec on the Scott, and if Martin's weight quotes are to be believed, the Scott is two kilos lighter. That's worth having, even on an ebike.

Links always assist, but as you are new I will do the leg work for you: https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Haibike-xDuro-Hard-Nine-RC-2016 https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Scott-E-Aspect-910-CX-2016

It looks like the 250W front drive Stealth has a geared motor, but the 'dual power' 500W rear drive Stealth has a direct drive motor. http://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/Item/Brands/Cyclotricity/Cyclotricity_Stealth_Electric_Bike_250w-17_Frame_36v_15ah.aspx http://cyclotricity.com/stealth-500w-9ah/

A squeaky brake can be a faff to cure, but it is harmless - all disc brakes squeak now and again. You need a rack rated at 30kg plus, which not all are. If you go for the step-through, you will probably need a dummy cross bar, some racks come with them. Are you happy with the fit of the...

Chain length/tension is often a problem when changing the gearing on a hub gear bike. Looks like you bike has sliding rear drop outs, which you loosen by undoing the two allen bolts on each chain stay. No mudguards means you can move the wheel as far as the slots will allow. Another option is...

And the gas bottle for his barbecue.

Not particularly other than the usual and double check it has the bigger battery - it should have 400wh/11ah stamped on it somewhere. By usual I mean establish the bike is not stolen and check for any accident damage. Weighing up the seller/their surroundings is almost as important as weighing...

Your plan sounds doable, given that you are prepared to top-up during the day. You might not have to on the easier days, assuming you don't need full assist all the time. There are path options from Stanhope, but don't be tempted, some stretches are barely suitable for a mountain bike, let...

Crossbars for men is mainly a British thing. The Germans and particularly the Dutch see the various types of open frames as unisex. Drop handlebars for a touring bike is another British idiosyncrasy. On the continent, drops are for road/racing. Touring bikes - also known as trekking bikes -...

Both reasonable quality crank drive bikes, so you won't go far wrong with either. The Motus has the Bosch system, which is slightly more refined and has four power levels, compared to the 2015 Yamaha's three. Four levels gives you an extra option for battery range management, which matters...

Rider weight is not as significant as you appear to think it may be - within reasonable limits. The motors are relatively weedy, a 50kg teenager is not going to be pulling wheelies on a legal ebike while you struggle to get over the camber in the road.

Depends what you mean by 'shift you up a decent hill'. Full speed throttles are being phased out anyway, but you will have to put in some effort on a 250W bike to climb steep hills. A lighter rider than you might be able to get up a hill faster, but there are other variables, you might be...

The Prime is the nicer bike, decent crank drive rather than the direct drive pancake motor on the Roam. Direct drives are quiet, but they don't climb well, so not the best bike for Cornwall. The Prime has a 400wh battery which you might be able to eke out to 40 or so miles if you use low...

To answer the OP's question, no, we should not be surprised. The only surprise to me was the margin was so narrow. I have long thought the general populace is fed up with EU meddling and would boot it into touch given the chance. The surprise to me was we were given the chance. Those who...

My Rose was £2.5K. The unpowered version is about £1,000, so £1,500 is a lot for a motor and battery even if both components are Bosch. On t'other hand, it's done thousands of reliable miles over four years. In one respect, the Rose is overpriced but it represents fair value to me...
