First, you have to decide what you want the bike to do. Then you need to tell us what that is, otherwise all you're going to get is random comments from people boasting about their bike and why it's the best bike in the world.

thanks for reply just need it to get to work around 15mile round trip. few not so steep hills just everyday use wont be doing off road as such. just cycle paths canal paths now and then if ive got it be aswell to use it.. im bit heavy unfit. speed id like 20mph+.

The Oxygen S-Cross MTB would be a perfect fit. We know the derestriction codes for it, so you can get a cruising speed of about 24 mph on the flat.

There's lots of other bikes in that range, of which many can be derestricted, but that can't be guaranteed until you have the bike in front of you because, you never know when the manufacturer will change something. My local Ebike shop sells Oxygens so I'd know if something changed with them.

Hi Johny, we've got the 2016 Raleigh Captus with the Bosch crank drive motor on a discount at the moment and with a Bad Ass Dongle you can can get well above 20mph.

Or of course there is our amazing Wisper Torque, I have a couple of new bikes with sligt narks on the frame. I can supply one through yiur local dealer £100 off rrp to meet your budget.

All the best, David

Go to a good stockist and try some - that's a must! It's impossible for someone to find a perfect bike without riding it first. Every combination of rider and bike is unique.

Oxygen, Wisper and Raleigh are all good makes. So find a store that stocks all three and go try. Many choose to travel 50 miles+ in order to try as many as possible. At our New Mills e-bike store in Derbyshire we can show you Wisper and Raleigh alongside our own Juicy Bikes and you'd be very welcome to try them all.
