Hybrid ladies under £850
Yes that's the one. 24kgs is a little too heavy (the Somerby felt incredibly heavy at 2kg less than this) as it's going on the back of a MH. Also as per my thread about tyres, I will be doing canal towpaths and forest trails so I don't know if I need something with more thickness. But happy to be advised Yes. T

Hi. Thank you. I have had a look but am not seeing anything in my price range. Did you see one I'm missing? Quite possibly as I'm quite new to this

Hybrid ladies under £850
Hi there. Thank you for this. Really specific and comprehensive. The issue which I didn't mention was with the tyres. As soon as I went on anything other than a road surface I would skid when turning. There just didn't seem to be any grip even on canal towpaths. Not surprising considering how thin they are. I have only lost £50 so am not too disappointed and it's actually made me realise what I do what from a bike. ( yes learnt the hard way !!). So given this, will I notice you think a difference with "skid" and apologies if I'm not really describing it correctly with the greenedge. Or any other within my price range that someone could recommend.

Hybrid ladies under £850
Hi. So I know my budget is low but it's all I have and that's at a stretch. I've recently sold my pemberton e bike and want to move to a hybrid. We do a lot of trails ( not real off road) but enough to feel every bump on the pemberton. I've seen the GteenEdge CS2 step through from ebikes direct and read previous reviews on here. The reviews looked good apart from about three years ago people had reported the battery shorting. My question is does anyone know if that was fixed and a bigger question, if there another people would recommend within my budget that would have a similar spec. Any advice would be good Thanks in advance Oh and here's a link https://www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/greenedge/greenedge-cs2-step-through-electric-mountain-bike

Lightweight bikes needed..
Hi there, I know my questions will be pretty much the same as "how long is a piece of string?" but given that the posters on these threads are so knowledgeable, I thought I'd give it a try... My husband and I are looking for a couple of lightweight e-bikes that we can carry on the back of our motorhome. The weight is a definite consideration. We'd originally seen the gtech (website and marketing only) and were impressed by its weight and also its simplicity. We are both early 50's and he is fit and I am less so - but nether of us overweight for frame. I really want something that is easy to charge, that makes it easy to cycle on a hill and am fine pedalling as if on the "flat" so don't necessarily mind having to pedal. I have read lots of threads here but am so confused now about what would or wouldn't be best. I literally want a get out and get on it bike for a bit of sight seeing and maybe take us to the nearest supermarket when the M/Home is parked up. Today I also came across the aero-bike which seems a lot cheaper than the gtech. Give our requirements above, would either of these suit? Our budget is £1000 per bike and we cannot stretch to more. Your thoughts would be really helpful.
