e-bike for under £1000

[ibbs82]

Hi everyone, new to the group
Due to this panemic I really want to cut down on my travel cost to work (whenever that will happen) and I think the best way is to get a e-bike. My commute by bike (Bianchi) is 13miles each way and I am not fit enough to do 23miles a day. Is it possible to convert my bike to a e-bike and if not any recommendation for a stylish e-bike for under £1000.
Thank you

A bit more about the bike would give more idea if it could be converted.
Also, could you charge battery at work? (no problem if you can't, but more choice if you can).
And about your fitness, and the hilliness and other features of the route (eg all on road?)

Anyway, look at Woosh. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/
They are good candidates for conversion kits and for bikes in that price range.
Excellent customer service and advice.

Whatever you do don't go for one of the big heavy inefficient illegal direct drive kits. Advertised (eg on ebay) often as 1000w or 750w for temptingly low prices.

I’d second the above. Bianchi are best known for light weight road bikes assuming this is the case, a light weight rear hub conversion would likely be the best option. The Aikema motor from Woosh is a good candidate. If you provide details of the bike, Tony from Woosh will advise compatibility. Thru-axles would be a problem.

Get yourself a rear wheel kit and convert the Bianchi - you will end up with a bike of far better quality than some of the brand new £1k ones on sale currently.
