So, keeping things as simple as possible, my grandfather would like to get an e-bike. We live in a very steep area so I've recommended a mid-drive. What's the lowest priced mid drive you can get from an (at least semi) reputable make?
He doesn't care about the style, or having a spectacular range, but he would like some warranty (hence why I haven't suggested a kit).
I've seen the Cube Town Hybrid One 400 for around £1700, but are there any more reasonably priced options?
For some context, I put together my own mid-drive (BBSHD) on an Orange hardtail a few years ago, and I absolutely love it, so I'm not completely ignorant about e-bikes. But I spend a lot more time riding than I do reading about it, so I have no idea what's going on in the e-bike market these days, and some advice from people with their finger a bit more on the pulse would be really helpful.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
