    E bike or Emtb for commute!

The Whoosh are cheaper but I'm not sold for a number of reasons and I don't want to offend anyone as clearly there's an...

    The Engwe looks fun but I'm concerned about the battery and future repair costs. There's some horror stories especially on Reddit of the company showing slightly shady after sales support. Wow, 5,000 miles a year sounds huge for someone like me. I'm relatively fit but have zero bike experience...

    Thanks for replying. Plenty to think about. I'm not against DIY but as I'm currently without a bike at all I would still need to decide on the style of bike.

    So the ebikes I've been looking at are £1400-2k range. The Emtb's 2k and made by a respected name in the industry.I'm looking at buying brand new only. Is this overkill or a sensible option?

    Fair enough. Is that because your worried about theft. It would be in a secure area at all times.I'm not talking about turning it into a crazy speed machine. 22-28mph max speed. I

    It's primarily flat there's a couple of hills but nothing crazy. Its London. Its main use will be for commuting. The storage at work is solid. If you have any recommendations Im all ears.
