Looking for a ebike

[netmike1]

I have decided to get back cycling after 25 years, I used to travel around the country rideing bmx on tracks & trails, with the odd mountain bike session.

So today I dropped into a local shop to me, im in the midlands leicester city, to view some ebikes, there website is advertising names of, haibike, ghost, lapierre, Raleigh.

How disappointed was i?
The range they had on show was only two haibike & a few other makes, absolutely shocking.

Where can I go & actually view/sit on bikes? Midlands area?

What exactly do you want the bike for? Do you have plenty of money to waste? How heavy are you and what sort of hills do you expect to have to ride up? Are you good at fixing things and capable of doing bike maintenance? Answers to these questions will help you choose an appropriate ebike for your needs rather than how many letters are in the brand name.

Yup, i can fix, maintenance etc, it would be for tracking across countryside & forests, plus the odd jump if i come across any.

Still two questions unanswered!
