Hello all, Richard from Wiltshire, just saying hello. Very new to the world of e-bikes. Posted as much in one of the other threads as needing advice on a new bike. Cheers.

Hi all, I am completely new to the world of e-bikes. Have been reading up for the past couple of hours but need a little help. I would like to buy one but its a bit of a minefield, and prices seem to range from £500 to £7,000 !! But essentially it would be for the following use: -Not for everyday use, just for occasional bike rides a couple of times a week, probably no longer than 20-25 miles each time. -Primarily on road. -Budget - probably £1,500. Ideally I just want a mountain bike where, when I hit a hill I can just press a button and the bike will take me up it with no input from me. I hear this is throttle-assist as opposed to peddle assist ?? If this is not the case, then peddle assist should be ok. I had toyed with a conversion kit (I have a mountain bike which I love) but I read lots of problems about these. if anyone can point me in the right direction, would be very grateful. Many thanks, Richard
