I won't be relying on the bike, I can get lifts or the train. I think we have gone slightly off topic. I have commuted on a mountain bike for many years in the past so I've got an idea of what can go wrong. Its just electric/battery bikes I don't know. I think we got off on the wrong foot but thanks for your input

Right okay, so Phill is selling the Giant. If its the same bike that Artstu said then I dont like the positioning of the bike. I've tried a road bike before and I didn't get on with it.

If that happens then i'll get it repaired. When I buy a car I don't buy two just in case one fails.

When I said I couldnt find it I was replying to Izzyekerslike who said "search for phill he has a Scott that if you can stretch to it could be just the ticket." I couldn't find the Scott so I'm not sure where the Giant has come from? I don't really see the logic in getting two bikes, that's not the solution I'm after. Thanks anyway.

Thats out of my budget and not the type of bike I like to ride. I started a separate thread as I was being more specific with an actual bike which I wanted opinions on.

I can't find anything?

Hi All Following on from my thread about doing a 45 mile commute daily I've finally decided I need a battery bike, I did a test run of 21 miles today and I'm buggered! Someone recommended the below bike but before I commit is there anything better out there for the money, 2k is my budget. http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Reaction-Hybrid-HPA-Pro-500-27-5-2017-Electric-Bike_97704.htm What is a 29r? Can I dongle it to make it go faster? Will it do a 45 miles a day?

Charging at work is not going to be an issue

I'm liking the idea of this. My MTB is a cube gtc. So with the dongle I'll get a good speed and the battery will last well? This is all very confusing

What does s-pedelec mean?

The bike I posted in the link isnt road legal? Its not all flat but If it runs out of charge I can take over without a motor can't I?

Any suggestions to what bike? Its going to be all road so a guess a hybrid bike would be best as opposed to mountain bikes which i'm used to. Something no more than £2000 which can have the speed limit removed easily. What sort of speeds can you get with the limiter removed?

I didnt know you had to pedal for the motor to work which is why I'm here :-) but I don't mind having to pedal I was just curious if the bike I posted was capable. I have a motorbike as well as car but my problem is I'm about to lose my licence due the totting up on my licence.

It will be a cycle to work and I can put it on charge through out the day and then a 22.5 mile cycle home. I'm not a stranger to cycling but it has been a while, shouldn't take to long to get back into but its likely to be 5 days a week I'd be doing it. Do you have to spin hard or can it be a leisurely pedal? Do you think the bike I posted would be any good?

Think I might have put this in the wrong place, please move if I have - thanks
