Thanks again. Just what I need for the hills here - near Exeter. Unfortunately, rather far for a quick trip to Solihull. I'm very tempted, as the system is so light and neat. But not cheap. More medical tests due in two weeks. The results may influence my choice, so will continue...

Many thanks.:) I'm still not sure if this would suit me. I don't necessarily want to go faster, but I do want to achieve high assistance when going uphill. Presumably, an increasing gradient acts in the same way as changing up a gear - to increase assistance.

Can you explain this, please? How does the assistance vary depending on what gear you are in?

Good evening, Tim. I'm afraid I had paid more attention to other forms of e-bike. This was partly due to the aesthetics of centre motor bikes: the stretched rear triangle looks odd, and the chain case might look "uncool" to my sons, perhaps? :). More importantly, I was not sure that...

Are you still very impressed? So do I. Does her experience suggest that this system would be suitable for long-term, daily use?

Thank you, tangent. I agree, the Infineum looks good. Unfortunately, it appears to only come in one size. As I'm shorter than average, this would probably not be a good fit. I'd appreciate comment on my Nano v. Heinzmann question above, if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Thanks for your replies. It looks as though both the Trek and Electric Wheel Company kit would be very good options to consider. Any further feedback on the Trek would be welcome, as this is one bike I thought might suit me well. Two further thoughts: I like the look of the Nano for the...

Many thanks for your replies. Pedalo - Your style/amount of use sounds very similar to what I'd hope to achieve, so Cytronex may well be the thing. However, the other commuters' experience is what I feared. Flecc - As you say, test rides would be a good idea - not so easy to arrange though...

Over 5% for over half a mile, rising to 12.5% max. Cytronex certainly look one of the most attractive options: relatively light weight, and discreet. Would you recommend them for regular use?

Good afternoon. I am completely new to electric bikes and would appreciate some help choosing the best type for me. Rider: Life-long cyclist with recent heart problem that requires me to limit my heart rate. Otherwise reasonably fit. Can cycle on the flat, but need assistance on inclines...
