Thanks, there are some hills in the country parks and some uphill roads near where live - not massively steep - just thinking with the added weight of the toddler, going uphill, might need some extra oopf - so not what sure what min torque I would need. Been looking around, have seen some nice Haibike, Cube, Giant bikes all seem to be around £2,000 - £2,500 - not sure if I need to spend this much.

Thanks, Interesting point, there are varying front toddler seat, would make sure that it would be compatible.

I'm new to ebikes and biking in general, haven't ridden since childhood. I'm looking to go bike riding with the kids, have a 3 yr old toddler looking to get a toddler seat on the top bar so has a good view ahead and not stuck behind. Type of riding will be country parks, scenic places and roads for general getting about and keeping fit. Some of the roads and country parks have hills. I understand torque is a key thing to look for - would 60Nm+ be minimum I should be looking at? The whole bike components just confuse me so don't know what are decent specs. I've got a budget of around £2,000 - can stretch to £2,500 if need be. But ideally, the lower cost the better Also what happens when batteries and motors fail - how easy are they to replace? I think it's better to get detachable battery - if it dies, can at least replace it rather than those builtin types. Any suggestions please? Thanks.
