Hi, New poster here. I have just ordered this bike to collect on Thursday. I was originally doubtful whether it would carry a 120kg rider up some steepish (10-15% grade) hills around me, especially as it seems fairly high geared with a 42t front cog but a 20 minute test ride convinced me that the silent Bosch motor was up to the task. Obviously, the biggest costs are the Bosch motor and battery and some of the components are fairly basic but overall, at the offer price of £1280 less a further 10% BC discount this represents tremendous value for money. I may change the pedals and possibly the saddle to my Brookes and maybe the tyres (depending on punctures) but even if I spend another £75-£100 it would still be good value. I cant wait for Thursday and hope the weather is good enough for a reasonable first ride.
