I’ve not been on a bike for 30 years. I need all the help I can get. Bosch was my preference. I wasnt aware of anything other than the main 4 apart from the bafang motor that seem popular on Chinese kit bikes. Yamaha are not in any of the bikes I was looking at but seem a good option if they...

Looking to buy my first bike in 30 years. It’s more confusing than it was. Most of the used bikes I’m seeing in my size have 27.5” wheels. Are these bad for commuting/road use? The bike will get mixed use. I’m starting to think 29” would be better? Im 5’10” if that makes a difference?
