Does your work have a shower? You may consider a non electric bike and you'd end up fit pretty quickly. Currently I cycle 5 miles to work and I need a shower afterwards, so 3 miles might be fine for you if you can shower and change at work afterwards You have the extra issue that folding bikes aren't often rated for heavier cyclists, and aren't really designed for off road cycling.

What would be my options if I wanted to convert my existing trek fx2? I've had a look at the kits on woosh but I don't really understand the difference

Hi, I'm currently cycling 10 miles round trip to work and have been looking at ebikes so I can mix up my route a bit. Some of the routes have some steep sections which bring me to a grinding halt. Most bike reviews online recommend bikes in the £2k+ range which is too rich for my blood. Ideally I'd like to find a bike around £1200, preferably cheaper. I found ebikes direct, but don't recognise any of the brands to know what's trustworthy I'm looking for something similar to my current bike. A trek fx2, hybrid, disc brakes, gears. Or is my budget just too low? Any recommendations would be welcomed, or a point towards any useful websites Edit: I'm also fairly average height and weight, 5'9, 11 stone, so no extra sturdy frames needed
