E-Bikes

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

I'm considering buying an e-bike to cycle to and from work (~ 20 miles round trip along canal and river towpaths)

Prepared to spend up to £2,500

Looking at Van Moof, looks decent

What other e-bikes would you recommend?

Awesome, I would like to get one too. If I can find an affordable one.

This company is developing a system for upscaling an existing pedal bike to an e-bike

In NZ, they're a hot item for thieves.

Yes ofcourse I have a car

But I want to save ££ on fuel, as it's become so expensive

The weather from from April to early October is not so bad here...perfectly possible to cycle to work and back most days without being soaked in rain

I swear they're only used by people too lazy to walk down the shops.

I mean, you can drive around the city center and everywhere and just enjoy the day without having to move, there are some pros.
