    New Bike

    Motor is only 60Nm. Doesn't seen so powerful on paper. Most important thing is that you like it. Enjoy.

    And yet you ride full suspension e-bike with Brook saddle, hydraulic disc brakes, Deore XT derailer. Not everybody is so lucky to find bike like that in a ditch. There is also aspect of aesthetics.

    Both bikes are very low quality. One has rim brakes, another completely rusted fork and I am not sure what happened to saddle. Your £300 can buy you something much better on Ebay.

    Nah... that is not for me. I am not a millionaire. In fact I would put myself well below poverty line, but luckily I can afford to buy any bike I want (within reasonable limits). I have seen many bikes in skips, ditches etc but not a single good one. Unusually this way people dispose bikes like...

    Would you buy a bike like that for yourself and ride it? WHY? On Gumtree they don't even tell you what is the frame size. You will travel only to find out it is not your size. Time waste.

    I prefer new and never had any problems with bikes to clam warranty. I find buying second hand bikes time consuming. They are mostly for pick up only and when you drive there they not quite what you expected. I buy new and look after bike well. Not all people do that. Why would you drill holes...

    https://www.scotbycycles.co.uk/collections/mountain-bikes?sort_by=price-ascending Now this is a good MTB. Above your budget, but worth it IMO. Only one left in stock: https://www.scotbycycles.co.uk/collections/mountain-bikes/products/merida-big-nine-80-hardtail-mountain-bike

    It should be lighter or more or less the same weight after you remove battery.

    https://www.evanscycles.com/brand/gt/aggressor-sport-mountain-bike-917809#colcode=91780903 You missed quite a lot of good deals on bikes recently, but this GT is way better than your initial choice. I ride front wheel hub MTB on mild off-road tracs, but it is pushing the limits. Just need right...

    Yes, but also front wheel affects how bike is handling. In a very negative way. By installing front hub you add a lot of weight to front and will ask a lot of your poor fork. Anything more ambitious and you might loose your wheel. You don't want that. Also if you install front wheel hub, forget...

    BTW Claud Butler Edge HT is a horrible choice. Still a bit better than Apollo LOL It is not a MTB

    Conversion? Great. Best way to get good value for money e-bike. Front wheel conversion on MTB? Please don't. Trust me, I have one. Rear hub or best mid drive. Rear hub should be enough for your needs, but your appetite will grow. Do it once, do it right.

    Mudguards cycle shop

    It is a real thing? Shop selling mudguards only or it is a bike shop called "Mudguards"? Either way I never heard of it.

    Big battery or small battery plus a spare?

    For sure you would want to remove battery before putting bike on roof rack.

    Are you a photographer? I would have never guessed. You could team up with Woosh. There is a room for improvement in this department.

    Help me buy an ebike

    Don't you just use work as an excuse? I have a funny feeling this 69km trip was not a commute. It was a leisure trip, wasn't it? For sure you can sweat a bit on a trip like that and then take a shower when back at home.
