I've been looking for an E-bike for my 10 mile (each way) commute to work. My route consists of mostly flat farm access roads, cycle lanes and a few faster roads. It's mostly flat with a few long gentle hills and motorway bridges.
I've been looking at E-bikes for a few weeks now and bounced between conversion kits for my current bike, Bafang kits, and various premade bikes. Halfords bikes are well priced, but seem mixed in reliability. Evans Cycles are crazy expensive.
I've landed on the Woosh Gran Camino as a good option. I've got cycle to work scheme, which I can use with Wooooosh bikes.
It's seems:
Is this a good option, or is there something else I should also be considering?

It's seems:
- Well priced at £1450~
- A decent motor - I'd prefer mid drive, but at this price rear hub remains a good option.
- 17ah power should take me 60 miles hopefully.
- Hydraulic disc brakes
- Front suspension forks
- Seems to straddle the line between a Hybrid and Mountain bike, which is ideal for my route.
- Made in the UK
- Seems to be tweakable and not too locked down, so future repairs, battery changes etc should be doable. I'm a bit fearful of a bike with completely proprietry components and batteries that will make it impossible to fix or replace batteries later in it's life.
- It's a fairly smart looking bike without being overly flashy.
