As for hills, I live in Rutland there are few hills of any size around here, some long inclines but nothing over 3%

83-85kg depending on the weather, regular legs, long torso, topping out at 6’1” Sagittarius, I like movies, foreign travel walks in the countryside

Thanks for your assistance and clarity

This is very helpful thank you

In a nutshell I guess I’m cash rich and time poor. Off the shelf takes the guesswork out of what, where and how.

Thanks for clarifying my needs. I guess the Mahle X35 used in the Ribble is not torque sensing?

Hi everyone, first post here, so please be kind! I’ve owned a few e-bikes over the years, mainly leisure models that have been toted around on the back of our motorhome. Now, I’m looking for something different. I’d like a bike that I can enjoy riding for fun, ideally a gravelroad bike with some electric support—just enough to help out my aging legs! I’m hoping to find a system that measures the pressure I apply to the pedals, rather than just responding to how fast they’re turning. In other words, I want the assistance to match my effort based on pedal pressure and the power level I’ve selected, rather than simply kicking in when the pedals are moving. I’ve had bikes that work on pedal rotation, but I find that experience less rewarding. If anyone can recommend bikes or systems that offer this more responsive, natural-feeling assistance, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance for your help. BTW I’m currently looking at Ribble CGR el bikes. Which might help you understand where my budget falls.
