Hi All,
I'm looking at alternatives to the car for my 12 mile commute to work. I live in a very hilly area on the edge of the Peak District so the journey involves a total of 1550 feet of ascent, each way. Also, there's no safe storage area for bikes at work, or showers.
Given these demands and limitations, I'm wondering if a folding e-bike would be the best solution? It seems to fit my requirements well but a have a few concerns, like battery life, capability up the hills, and looking deeply uncool. Yeah, I probably shouldn't worry about the latter point, but some of the folding designs I've seen look a little...*niche*.
