    Bosch trekking / touring bikes?

    Ok.. Any chance of an idiot's guide to these two different motors? I have had the detailed technical links and explanation before but did not 'get it'. I take it the manufacturer will decide which bike gets which motor... Not the customer choice. BUT why two different motors??

    Help with getting an electric bike

    But if it breaks down or has a puncture most ebike / pedelecs would just be too heavy for her to pedal unaided or try to fix... Bear that in mind?

    Why and when and something else

    Yes.. That is what I thought. Added to the equation is bike size compatibility and also my rural location. I guess that is why people have more than one pedelec. I was thinking how useful it would be to have a spare pedelec 'in case'.... Same they don't sell new pedelecs cheaper without...
