Hiya! New to the scene trying to help my parents with their first e-bike purchase. I tried making a thread over in 'Which E-Bike Should I Buy?' last night but it is still saying: "Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly". Do I need to make a certain number of posts or something before posting there? Thanks, R

Hi all, My dad is in his 60s and wants to get back into cycling with an e-bike. He is considering a more expensive option (e.g. Tern) later down the line, but for now we want to get a cheaper (~£1000-1200) bike to see if he enjoys it. Ideally he wants to do minimal repairs/maintenance himself, possibly making the Engwe (warehouse) & Powerhog (office far away) options below less enticing. He will be mostly be doing light, commuter-style riding on road but if he could go on gravel, flat forestry etc that would be a bonus. He is after a foldable e-bike and is currently looking at these 2 options from local stores: 1) Raleigh Stow-E-Way @ £999 2) Li-Fe Flo @ £1100 (also available here at £999 but would probably buy local for 2 free services) I have been advised that the mag wheels + disc breaks probably edge it to the Li-Fe Flo out of these 2? --- I am trying to help find a better option and have found the following mentioned here & on Reddit: 3) Fiido D11 @ £899 4) Powerhog Deluxe Commuter @ £825 5) Woosh Rambletta @ £1069 6) Engwe C20 Pro @ £849 I am keen to hear your perspectives on any substantial technical/safety differences between them, and which one you would personally recommend! Open to other foldable suggestions in same price range too. Thank you, really looking forward to hearing some opinions! R
