Hello everyone

[Corradinho]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum.
at the moment I cycle to work with a mountain bike (5.6 miles in 30 mins) Working as a chef, I'd like to save some energy and swap for an e-bike.
Along the journey, there are a couple of hills and I'm wondering what e-bike I should buy (considering I weigh 100kg ish,40Nm is enough or I should go for a 60Nm? etc.). This is the toughest hill from home to work https://shorturl.at/bfH01
Do you think the gogobest GM26 is enough for a London commute and travel in London?
I found a 2nd hand cannondale and it seems interesting. I wouldn't mind spend a bit more if it worths https://ebikebuyer.com/shop/ols/products/cannondale-adventure-neo-4-2022-large-28-miles-very-good-condition
FYI this is the all journey I have to do https://shorturl.at/xDHPY

Thanks a lot

EDIT: yesterday I tried a volt pulse and even with the engine off, I was able to cycle on the hills. The cons is the price

If you presently do the journey without a motor, just about any ebike should be OK. My advice is that if you have loads of spare cash, buy whatever one floats your boat, but if money is tight, don't put yourself in debt.

Another consideration is theft. Don't buy an expensive bike if you're going to lock it in a street every day while you work.

The best format for commutting is a hub motor. Just about bullet proof and less drive train maintenance than a mid drive. Best bonus is, they're cheaper.
Most expensive element is the battery, but don't skimp on it, buy the best/largest you can afford.
If you like your current bike a kit conversion gives you what you want plus a greater understanding of how it all works.

I have got the M1Plus with 29" wheels and so far I am happy with it and can recommend it at least as an entry-level-pedelec.
It was easy to assemble and in real it leaves a sturdy and good-quality impression.
