Yes it is insured with the AA. I can't find anything where it asks for any specific locks. It just says it has to be secured to a bike rack. Thank you so much. That is very helpful.

My first ebike is arriving this week and I'm looking at getting a good lock. I've already got a chain lock but want a D-lock also. What are people's thoughts on the On-Guard Brute 8001? It's very cheap for what looks like a quality lock. Has decent reviews and high security ratings. I'm also considering the Kryptonite New York M18 or the ABUS Granit X-plus 540. My bike is £1500 so want the best out of the three.

Well after hours of looking and arguing with myself I've ordered the Haibike HardSeven 1.0. I'm not sure on the size. I've gone for medium (45cm). I'm 5'5 with a 32inch inside leg. Is the medium too big or should I have opted for the small?

Yes I was just looking at the British cycling club. Thank you. £20 for the silver membership. Good saving.

Thanks, I can afford it but can't justify spending that much on a bike for my needs. Not for my first bike anyway. I don't plan on going off road, at least not in the near future. I'll only be making short journeys but hope to venture further out if I get brave enough. I'd rather spend a bit less and put the rest on other gear like helmet, gloves, lights, etc. I am pushed towards the Haibike for it's looks but I really can't decide.

I rode a Stella Arturo Steps bike on holiday for around 8 hours a day and was not tired once. I went up some very steep hills. No idea wether that was torque or cadence. How does that compare to what I'm looking at? I can't find much information about it.

Thanks both. I will look into that. I think I have good leg power as I'm on my feet all day and used to walking miles.

I'm looking to get back in to cycling after 10 years of driving. I want to get rid of my car as I only use it for work and shopping. I use the train and buses a lot to travel but want to start biking to keep myself fit and venture out further than I normally would. I'm looking to use it mainly on the road with a few grassy hills. I've spent two days looking at bikes and I've narrowed it down to three. Haibike SDURO HardSeven 1.0 Carrera Crossfuse Raleigh Strada Elite I don't know anything about bikes but I'm learning. I prefer the look of the Haibike and I prefer the Yamaha battery but only because I love Yamaha. I also love Bosch. I'm not sure which is better. Strada has a Shimano battery. Price isn't important but they are almost equal. If anybody has had any experience with these bikes or can offer advice any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi, First time here. I'm 40 years old from England. I am looking to buy my first Ebike today. I went on holiday last year and rented an Ebike and loved it. Now I'm hooked! Can't wait to start riding again.
