Hi there,
I've just put a deposit down on my first electric bike. It is a little bit different to the bike I've been riding since 2018, which is a Reflex City ladies bike. Don't laugh, it has been a real good bike to learn on!
My partner and I, did a fair amount of research before I even contemplated sitting on an e-bike. But as soon as I sat on the Raleigh Motus Tour, I knew it was the one for me. But will it turn out to be style over substance? We shall have to wait and see.

We love our Motus (older model, step-through, hub gears); and would certainly rate it as substance over style.
Maybe a bit too much substance, along with similar ebikes it is heavy. Rides smoothly and gets the job done. I think you'll really enjoy yours.
