Hi everyone,
Having no experience whatsoever with electric bikes, I would greatly appreciate if anyone would be able to advise me on a possible purchase.
This is the scenario:
I commute on my bike to work, hobbies and friends. This comes down to about 30 miles a day.
My dog comes along with me, enjoying the rollercoaster of scents.
What I would look for in an electric bike, is pedal assistance on these journeys. On fine days all is good and well, but with a bulky dog, Scottish hills, bad road surfaces and a heavy head wind it can become a near death experience.
A look around online brought me to something like this:
http://www.wooshbikes.co.uk/?sant-ana
The bike would be loaded with a 65 kg person, and 15 kg dog; Climb plenty of hills, steep or gentle ones; Ride through rain and snow; Be trustworthy enough to ride to work.
If at all possible, I would be looking into selling it on after a year or two, when an international move is planned vaguely. Is this a viable plan for a bike around the 400-600 pound mark?
Hope someone can share their thoughts. Thank you a lot in advance!
