    New Bosch motor..

    Unless you go too far and run out of power, something I'm now finding is restricting where I ride.

    New Bosch motor..

    Indeed, so that surely means there is no direct drive, so there must be some losses involved if riding off power.

    recommendations for bike for 12 mile commute each way

    That's not strictly correct. My bike is legal and yet I can manage average speeds of 18 mph on some of my rides that don't include extreme hills, they still have plenty of less steep climbs though.

    More of a return after a long break.

    Very well, despite illness it will get me up any hill round here with relative ease. I've been up Winnats at around 8 mph in 2nd gear catching, passing and leaving two very fit roadies in the process. The hills really hammer the battery though.

    Another faster Bosch option

    119 euro's for the hidden one and 104.50 for the box on show, not keen on having that cable tied on either.

    KTM Macina Cross going cheap.

    It wasn't too bad, I didn't much enjoy riding back up though, as I started the climb the range meter said I had 15 miles, at the top it said 1 mile, and the climb is less than a mile!

    KTM Macina Cross going cheap.

    Managed to log a gravity assisted 50.5 mph the other day, not bad for a hybrid.

    KTM Macina Cross 400W

    Exactly as Rob says with regard to the gear change, you soon get used to it. Also check the adjustment of the gears after a few miles, line the yellow lines up in the little window in fourth using the adjuster on the changer.
