So, my names Marc and and I started cycling to work around 2 years ago after some cycling infrastructure was installed (on a regular, leg powered only bike, a distance of around 6 mile each way).
Most of the time i'm quite happy cycling to work under my own power but occasionally I need to go elsewhere or want to arrive without breaking a sweat (it's all uphill on the way home and almost always has a headwind).
On the occasions I leave the bike at home and use the car these days it always hits me how much I have gotten used to NOT being stuck in traffic, so it occured to me, maybe a pedelec as a 2nd bike may be the way forward.
When I first started cycling I bought a Voodoo Marasa which now sits in the garade unused as I have upgraded so it occured to me maybe I can upgrade this with an electric motor.
There seems to be a lot of options when it comes to electric bikes so I figured i'd ask some people in the know, Is the Marasa a suitable bike to upgrade? Is there a good "cheap" option for an upgrade given this won't be my daily driver? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
