Hi everyone
I need some advice,
I’m looking for an e-bike for myself to go to work cycling through a few uphill Scottish roads and streets.
Using the Cycle to Work Scheme. My top budget I think it's under £1000 although I'd rather prefer to spend much less.
I’ve been looking everywhere but all the e-bikes I can find are kinda big. I had a mountain bike but with the 26" wheels was very uncomfortable to me when I had to stop.
I am 147 Cm tall or 4’10”. I just measured my leg and my inside leg is 26” maybe 25” I do not mind to reach the ground with my tip toes it's what I've been doing all my life.
I've been surfing for several months ago, almost a year now. According to many charts, the perfect bike for me would be a 14” frame which it seems no one sells unless it's no electric and for kids…
Also, I've been told better if I look for 20" wheels. Normally these are the foldable bikes but sadly most of them I do not like the design.
My preference is a Classic/Dutch design or very similar and with Step-Through Style Frame.
Doing my research I found the next ones but because the frames sizes I'm wondering if they are suitable for:
*Frame 17"
FreeGo Folding Electric bike £ 859
RooDog Bliss £ 949
* Frame 16.5"
Juicy Bike Bike Compact Click £ 949 @JuicyBike @E-Bikes Direct
* Frame 16"
Byocycle Chameleon LS £ 864.99 (very nice price)No blue stock in @E-Bikes Direct
*Frame not specified
Falcon Flux £789
PowaCycle Lynx LPX 789.99 (frame adult sized)
*Frame 13" Sorry but... I'm not convinced by this one.
Basis Osprey £664.69
Thanks in advance.
When I was a kid I had a BH Folding Bike (Beistegui Hermanos) and although the wheels were size 20" they do not look so little, nor even the bike. It's an old bike that still works perfectly suitable for kids to adults in all sizes. Simply raising the seat and handlebar wich had a very long bar. It Was advertised: "A single Bike for all the family" It's from the '80s in Spain.
Wish manufacturers go back to make them with long bars
Here is a picture so you can have an idea.
