im really wanting to fet back into biking im only early 40s reasonably fit still was well into single track down hill fire tails but alas got lazy and off the pace so enough said my logic is get a ped elec get enjoyable cycling back in my life and loose a few pounds and have fun.
my main use leisure and the odd run down to my unit 4 miles each way up hill all way back
my ideal choice bare with me as havent a clue
bosch or yamaha drive
full suspension first choice for trails
bmw for style
2k budget
must be tweekable for private land
something good components owned elsworths paces etc and even though a bit snobbery the residule value better and reliable
id consider anything and vat regd self employed so cycle to work scheme or vat is possible options to push budget

Your budget will cover most e-bikes....the KTM range would match with your desire to buy an established brand,the range is quite wide so you would be best to visit a dealer who has a wide range of bikes to test.
Where are you located?

I'm in Yorkshire thanks

 

[KTM Bike Industries UK]

Yorkshire is a pretty big county, but you could do worse than visiting these guys. They sell KTM, but have a lot of other brands too, so you can see what you get for the various price points.

If they aren't local for you, give us a bit more of a clue where abouts in Yorkshire you are and we can see if there is anyone better for you.

Hi Si,

As an alternative to Bosch or Yamaha power you get a quality German bike well within your budget.

Take a look at Heinzmann, there are two models that might just meet your requirements.

The Atlas eMB £1795
