Hello from Aberdeen!

[Bindo]

Hi all!

Well after stalking this forum for a while, reading reviews, pondering, and just being indecisive in general, I've decided to take the plunge!

I've gone and ordered myself the Batribike Granite Pro from e-bikes direct.

I actually had a look at a second hand one, though it hadn't been cared for, so swerved it, however it did convince me that an electric bike would suit my needs. and the integrated lights were a great touch, for an entry level bike at least!

I work in an office, with some god awful hills on my way to work, and it can be very windy here near the coast! so i want to cycle, but i don't want to arrive at work dripping with sweat!

So, I'll probably start a long-term review thread, to assist others who may be as indecisive as i am!

Welcome to the mad house.

Hi Bindo

What part of Aberdeen do you commute to?
I commute from Bridge of Don to the city centre - mostly downhill on the way in, but the hard work's coming home

As you know, the weather's been lousy, but hopefully it will dry up by the time you get your bike.

Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome,

@supersneak I'll be travelling from Torry to Portlethen, it's a fair trek whichever route I take!

Yeah hoping the weather improves over the weekend!

Hi Bindo

Now I know why you need the electric bike - good luck, look forward to the reviews.

Well the bike arrived, very much loving it!

I've done 50 miles so far, including a 30 mile run with moderate assist, and still had 2/5 battery left when i arrived home.

First ride to work today, what a pleasure! I've done 60 miles on the bike in a week and it's better than i expected
