Hi, I’m new here, looking for some advice please!

I’m looking for a step through ebike for commuting to work 10 mile round trip, I live in Edinburgh so there’s some steep hills and cobbled streets and lots of rain. I’m asthmatic (worse in colder weather) so looking for assistance on the hills mostly. I would like the battery to be removable as I live in a flat. I’m 5ft 4, female, average weight. Budget is 1,500 but could be pushed if this is not feasible.

 

Thank you in advance

Worth talking to David [mention=181]Wisper Bikes[/mention] - they often have some ex display models with full guarantee- e.g https://wisperbikes.com/shop/clearance-ebikes/ex-demo-705-se-26-red/

Yeah, agreed. I'd recommend the 15AH version for £999, but I'd use some of the money saved to get Woosh to fit hydraulic brakes.

This one is well specced and powerful with a big battery but quite heavy

The battery is a bit small but would be able to do a 10 mile round trip. Could possibly swap to a larger generic battery if you found you wanted to go further afield.

Look at the NCM Paris , on offer at the moment for £769 reduced from £1099 .

I'd stick with Woosh.

 

Its UK based, so any early issues can be quickly and easily addressed(unless you are fluent in Chinese, Korean/Taiwanese)
