Can I ask what are the real Premium e-bike brands ?

I`m guessing Wisper, Haibike & Kalkhoff ?

look for Fox float suspension, that's pretty much the clue.

I`m sure the BikeTec Flyer models are top quality but certainly wouldnt buy any of them - styling leaves alot to be desired in my eyes.

Used to think BH was premium. But they have quite a mid range now

Depends what you mean by Premium. If longevity matters then I suspect that Dutch bikes (Sparta/Gazelle etc) will outlast many.

More to Continental tastes where they sell well and quality appreciated above fashion and style. The "S" bend downtube is a Flyer feature adding to ride comfort, seen right through their range, but I know that doesn't appeal to many UK buyers.

It's a subjective measure, but I'd add Ave and KTM to the list.

Ah, and I recently just tried a Scott e-Aspect 710, very nice bit of engineering.
