Thanks

Hi Light ebike advice much appreciated New to site. I hired an ebike in france and loved it. However, it was far to heavy to lift when I had to. I am exhausted trying to find a light bike (under 23kg only) with a removable battery Around 500 ah or more I live in an area that is blessed with bike trails, bit gravelly, and want to use on road too. So needs to be hybrid with puncture resistant tyres and ideally fairly wide. I am not a mountain biker, but the odd flatter woodland trails I would not wish to rule out. Budget 1500 to 2000. So far I have seen one bike wisper tailwind comfort (pannier rack, lights, mudguards pack), and will upgrade to suspension forks, that they have on trail version. It will come in at around 2.4 to 2.5k. I've seen it cheaper but need to use cycle scheme to purchase. 22kg with all upgrade options. I am 164 cm tall and inside leg is 78cm (long legs short body!) My only concern is it's a 19 inch frame, which is fine for legs, not so sure about reach. Cant try the low cross bar version as not in stock. Than I saw the gin x e bike. Frame a bit smaller, battery 614ah and price 1k!. Seems to have cables on show, battery close to ground, worried about water ingress and how to protect. Has anyone had experience of these bikes. Or can recommend another that fits my spec. Would love torque sensor, but feel that may be out of price range. Looking for two bikes one low crossbar or step through, one normal crossbar. All advice welcomed.
