Hi D8veh, that's a really helpful response - locally, the dealer has Moustache, Scott and Cube, amongst others (Electric Cycle Company in Edinburgh) and there is always Halfords. Wisper lists the ECC as a dealer, but they don't seem to have them. Would you suggest a front or rear hub motor for commuting?

Hello, I am a newbie, considering commuting to work by bike - about 8 miles each way, urban and quite hilly (that's Edinburgh for you!). I'm female, 5'7" and of average build. I am having problems deciding what bikes to consider - I am told a crank motor is better, but I'd love to hear suggestions. My priority would be reliability and simplicity of maintenance, and a battery that makes it there and back! I'd consider second hand, or ex-demo, but that is even more confusing to me! So - wise and experienced people, what advice would you give me? thanks all!

Thanks, for some reason I'd dismissed them, despite being very happy with my Carrera hybrid!

Hello, Newbie here, looking to buy in central Scotland (Edinburgh area). It's easy to try "mainstream" brands, such as Scott, but I'd love to try Woosh etc - are there any stockists up here? Or anywhere in general you'd recommend? Background : looking for a commuter bike, suitable for about 8 miles each way, 3 days a week, with a significant hill in both directions! Thanks!
