Thanks for all your help. One last question... I prefer a more upright position when cycling. As I am between the size 16 (27.5") and the 17 (29") would you recommend I take the smaller or larger size bike in order to achieve this?

I've virtually decided on the Cube Access Hybrid Pro 500. It looks as though I'm between a size 16 which has the 27.5" wheel and a size 17" which has the 29 wheel. So I've still got another decision to make! My husband has decided on the Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500.

Thanks for your comments. I've been looking around the bike shops here in Greece today, but hardly any e-bikes in stock in my neck of the woods, so I might not even get the opportunity to test one out before buying which is a bit of a concern. I had hoped to try a hybrid as well as a mtb to see the difference.

Hi My husband and I have recently relocated to Greece and are finding that we don’t cycle as much as we used to in the UK, as the area we now live in is hilly and some of the hills are very steep. So we are thinking of purchasing e-bikes. The most commonly found brands here are Cube and Ideal. We will be cycling on a mix of paved roads and dirt tracks/unpaved roads. We are torn between getting hardtail mountain bikes (such as Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro and Cube Access Hybrid Pro) or touring bikes (such as Cube Cross Hybrid Pro). Can anyone advise on which of these types of bike would best suit the terrain? For steep hills do we need a bike using the Bosch Performance CX drive unit, or will the Bosch Active or Shimano Steps E6000 range suffice. And finally is it worth paying extra for a 500 WH battery instead of a 400 WH ? Many thanks Lesley
