As Spring/Summer approaches, I've decided it's about time I took the plunge and bought an electric bike.
After some research, I think I've narrowed it down to these two which seem to offer similar philosophies at different price points.
My needs:
- A bike that is as close to riding a normal bike as possible when not in 'power' mode (I like to think I can use it to get fit too!) - both these bikes have reasonable weight and free wheel motors to achieve this.
- Enough power to take the strain if I run out of steam; say on a total 15-20 mile ride tops, mostly on flat-ish terrain (e.g. New Forest).
- Looks similar to a normal bike - just my personal preference.
Does anybody hae any views on these two bikes for this type of use - the question could be as simple as whether the Cyctronex merits the extra money (I assume because of the better base bike spec)?
Thanks.
