My wife has always liked the dutch style bikes and I suggested she gets an electric bike to get round the lanes and steep hills of our new home on the east coast of Scotland. We visited a shop in Dundee and tried a few bikes and have narrowed it down to two main contenders. Gazelle C7 (£1400) looks very nice, seems well put together and my wife liked the stylish lines and the comfortable saddle. I slightly prefer the Raleigh Forge which is £200 cheaper , looks less classy but handled very well. Would it be false economy to get the Forge when a couple of hundred quid will get what appears to be a very nice machine, mind you another £200 would get the C7+ with suspension and a few other goodies. If anybody has tried one of these I'd be grateful for any help. J
