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
