Hi there now you more than likely have had this question many times before, I have looked at some threads but although I found some on the same sort of subject I could not find the info I was after (apologies if I have missed it)
I am looking as a total novice for advice on which bike/ type/ motor etc would suit me.
Due to medical issues which required steroid treatment I have now put quite a lot of weight on and now weigh about 21 stone again due to my issues my fitness level is not good at all, but I want to be able to start riding again especially with my children. I am looking for something that would be able to cope with not only my size but give me a good level of assist or even power the bike with out input from me at all, I would be looking at using it mainly in parks so some surfaced road and dirt tracks obviously this would include hills but nothing particularly large or sustained. Range again nothing massive I would think 20-30 miles fully powered would be more than adequate as I do intend to pedal after all this is about getting fit again with help. Is that distance feasible/ reasonable?
Price is an issue as being a single parent working part time as anyone in this situation will know money is always an issue so seeing some prices of bikes I have looked at made me doubt if this was achievable at all.
Anyway thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me.
