Hi, and a question about Brose

[Yeosteve]

Hi, I'm about to buy my first ebike after a lot of research, but I'm in New Zealand which has a tiny range available so I'm going to have to fly to Australia to get any choice. I've almost decided on a BH Revo 27.5 because the Brose motor seems to be more powerful and quieter than the other commercial bikes. I like the battery being integrated into the front bar as well.

Does anyone have an opinion on Brose v Bosch?

Is that green flying to Australia to buy an e-bike? Can't you just order it from Germany? <ducking>

haha, not a bad idea, but any way I go about it is going to be expensive, and not particularly green. At least over there I can try a decent range of modern bikes before I buy.
But, has anyone ridden a Brose? Are they that much quieter?

My Spanish is almost good enough for me to convince the BH centre in S. Sebastian to let me have a go on one. But then the salesman would bug me for months and months to convince me to buy one...

Or you might like it so much you buy it anyway. Welcome to the BH side

Why not go to China? Cut out the middle man.
