Hi. I am looking into going electric for commuting 18 miles round trip to work. I love cycling and own a Giant road bike, an old Raleigh Record Sprint and a Felt QX80 Hybrid. The problem lies with my knees. They’re fine when I go out for leisure riding but struggle when I have to do a shift at work as well. Are they helpful for people with arthritic joints?

I like the look of the Scott e sub but I was wondering if it would be easy to convert the Felt?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. My dodgy knees and back led me to my new E-Bike. No problems riding every day now, which I couldn't do with my other bike

That’s good to hear. I’ve just booked a 48 hour trial for this week. Hopefully all will go well.

A Carrera Crossfire. It’s really just to see how I get on. I’ll still keep using my other bikes for leisure but I think commuting will be much better on an E Bike.

First ride to work tonight and I must say it was fantastic. Still got a workout but was so much easier on the knees. Got the bike till Friday so hopefully all will go well. It’s perfect for commuting!

Trial went so well I ordered a Scott E-Sub Active. Looking forward to commuting everyday now.
