Great choice but haibike can be expensive,have a look at the KTM and Cube range as well if possible.

Thanks. KTM eh, not heard much about them..I'll see how the ride goes but think I'm gonna like it! I'll definitely be doing my homework before buying due to the prices! Lots to think about with plus size tyres and e-mtb specific components etc. A lot's changed in a few years away from mountainbiking!

Cube in particular are good value for money and KTM with their off road heritage says it all realy.
The Bosch CX motor is probably the one to go for at the moment and paired up with the 500wh battery it is a formidable combination.Buying local as well if possible is also prudent.

Thanks Nemesis, I'll look into those. I also saw that Merida have an e mtb full susser coming out and they're usually good value. It has the shimano motor though, like the idea of them not getting a stranglehold on electric drivetrains too!

Be prepared to hand your credit card over.....

I hired a Trek from Coed Y Brenin and after a hundred yards was giggling like a school kid.

I then bought a Haibike after lots of research, with the Bosch motor.

Enjoy the test ride, they're a game changer and addictive.
