Is this still available? How much are you asking for it?

Thanks all for the advice As it happens I can now drive again so the problem is solved, but it looks like the bike wasnt a viable option in the end as I fear it would have been nicked. Sadly the bike locks are in a place they wont be seen by anyone at off-peak times, so could almost guarantee anything semi-valuable would have been gone Safe riding to you all!

Sorry I now used the Whoosh link you posted - max gradient of 21% ish. Same route so not sure why I'm getting such wildly different results! Can assure you the hill feels massive

I knew I had forgotten something! I weigh 95kg, and below is the route on mapometer. I did this yesterday and it said 30% gradient along the (1), but today the gradient map only shows 6% which I definitely dont think is right!

Hi all, I temporarily cant drive while awaiting medical treatment and looking into getting an e-bike to get between home and the train station (c. 2-3 miles) twice a week as our local bus service is unreliable Unfortunately my body does not seem to get on with even the slightest incline, and the route home mentioned above has a c.30% gradient for about 1/3 of the distance! I've been browsing on this forum for a few days now but thought it best to post and ask for advice so I dont make a misinformed decision Few bits of information below, appreciate any recommendations for which bike to go for: Budget up to £1200 (which I gather is on the low side but this is already pushing it for me) I am very unfit, and cannot cope with hills, so maximum assistance is appreciated - ideally with a throttle option if possible Aside from above commute, only other use will be taking the kids out on a gravel path in a bike trailer very occasionally Low maintenance preferred as there is already a laundry list of jobs to do around the house with 2 young kids Dont fancy DIY kits for above mentioned reason, I probably wont ever get it built being honest with myself Happy to consider either folding or non-folding. If folding I will probably take it part way onto the train with me Happy to consider used from either forum members or trades If I've missed anything please do shout! Appreciate your help
