    First ebike belt not chain?

    Thanks, that's reassuring as I hadn't heard of Brose. I hope to start commuting as soon as I get it, I can't wait! I'll just have to leave all my wet clothes dripping. This has to be one of the wettest winters in the 15 years I've been cycling

    First ebike belt not chain?

    I'm looking for my first ebike. I'm a regular cyclist but am looking for an ebike to commute 15 miles each way, mixture of town, disused railway and country lanes. Would also use it at weekends as well as my road bike. I've been looking online, and thinking of going for belt over chain (thinking...
