Hi all
Bought my Carrera Crossfire e-bike late last year, was looking forward to using this year, returned from holiday and the next week cycled to where I do some volunteer work, I had a chest pain that wasn't to bad, but found out later it was a heart attack being masked by my diabetes, I cycled home slowly letting the bike do the work as I didn't feel right , was told by the heart specialist if I had been on a normal push bike, I would of had a second heart attack, probably on the road.
I had heart surgery, but cannot ride until probably later August, will be looking forward to it.

I bought the bike to help me get fit and lose a little bit weight, I thought after retirement that I’ve got a bit lazy, not realizing I had a heart condition, as soon as I’m allowed to ride again I intend to, to be honest I wouldn’t feel comfortable on the bike that wasn’t power assisted.
