Hi all,
i have been toying with the idea of buying an electric bike for some time but the cost has put me off...
I have three bikes and am thinking of converting one of them. The obvious contender is a 2015 Whyte Dorset. The main issue with that is the drop handlebars. The other bikes are a circa 1997 Gt Karakoram hard tail mountain bike with front shocks, and a circa 1986 Raleigh Competion 12 - a light weight racer. I have a feeling that the Raleigh would be unsuitable, though at under 10kg would be pretty rapid and efficient.
What would be yer better bike for convening and what kit would you recommend? I am leaning towards the GT as I would like to do more mountain biking but the hills around me are quite severe!
