    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Just an update to say thank you to everyone who replied. We have now ordered 2 x Volt Metros and are having them delivered to On Your Bike in Birmingham (Sutton Coldfield) who were super helpful when we visited on Wednesday (thanks Jon). Hopefully we'll get them and get riding by this time next...

    What's the best Map App

    Hello, We're just about to make our first e-bike purchase(s) and are looking for either a phone (iPhone) app or advice whether something like a Garmin would be better for our purposes. Background is that we have recently moved from Derbyshire to Worcestershire. Previously we used Marin Redwood...

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Thanks Bob and (I think it's) Tony from Woosh. You're all being incredibly helpful and it's much appreciated. I'll mull it all over at the weekend and try and come to a decision. Thanks again, John.

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    I'm getting very close to a decision but just wanted to mention that I've been in touch with a couple of dealers and got a very helpful reply from a nice guy called Bryn at Juicy Bikes. I asked him about the different suspension on their 2 folders which have the 2 suspension types I've been...

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Thanks (although also want to say shame you don't still make it :( ) But your Rambletta is a very stylish alternative and it's high on my list. Just wish I could pop down to you to have a proper look and test ride - hopefully soon. Cheers, John

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    That's very helpful. I hadn't thought about changing a trigger shift to a twist shift. It means that if my right hand/thumb get worse I can do that at some time in the future so not being able to do so immediately isn't a great problem. Plus if I enjoy e-biking as much as I expect whatever I get...

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Thanks. Yes, don't want to get into changing forks at this stage and that would probably invalidate any guarantee anyway. So I think any of the 3 bikes I originally mentioned would be a good introduction to e-biking. I'd just like to know how effective the different types of suspension are...

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    That's a beauty. Probably more than I want to spend for my first ebike but certainly extremely desirable and ticks all the boxes. Thanks.

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Thanks everyone (so far). The Gocycle and KTM look fantastic machines but I can't see either have front suspension which is the most important of my requirements. If I'm looking at them wrong I'm sure will enlighten me. As far as the gears are concerned, trigger shifts on the right-hand side...

    Looking for folder with suspension and hub gears - do they exist?

    Hello all, 1st post here (hopefully of many). Background is I'm early 70's, reasonably active (but not superfit!). Prior to this year myself and wife have used Marin Redwood comfort bikes and cycled on towpaths and mild trails around the Derbyshire reservoirs but not extreme hills or trails. We...
