Thanks for the run down. Yeah this is basically my thinking - the most expensive is the best, the cheapest has the most drawbacks. Rather as you would expect. I'm quite happy with a fairly upright seating position as I'm not looking for high top speeds I just want help setting off from lights...

I thought that trailer looked familiar

Also looking at the cube compact hybrid. Is it generally a big advantage to have bought the bike from somewhere relatively close to you for servicing etc.? And are those Bosch batteries all standard so you can just get a new one if the original one gives ups on you?

Yeah partly for reasons of durability I'm now looking at possibly going for a 20" non-folder like an Orbea Katu-e or a Raleigh Modum - from the reviews sounds like they'll also be a much nicer ride, possibly avoiding some of the problems with folder handling mentioned earlier. Seems easier to...

Thanks. Yeah, I think the only real way to decide is to try a few out.

What advantage would a full size bike give me? I'm riding on city streets and avoiding the odd pothole. It seems to me that for going at a moderate pace on paved roads the nimbleness and acceleration/hill advantages offered by 20" wheels probably outweighs increased ability to take bumps but I...

I like the idea of a conversion but realistically I think a ready made would be more practical. Seems less likely to go wrong and easier for insurance to replace if necessary. As an aside, does anybody know much about Aventon pedelecs? It doesn't particularly fit the criteria of what I'm after...

I have an Ikea trailer similar in size to that Homcom but personally I find it much less practical for my needs.

I saw the the 806 had already been snapped up. Tempted by the 705T but definitely think I would prefer a folder

Hi everyone, I've been browsing this forum in recent days and it seems like there are a lot of friendly people with helpful information and experience to share so I thought perhaps people would have some useful perspectives on what sort of bike would suit my needs. Background is I'm a gardener...
