There's only one production electric bike cut out for this and it's the Kalkhoff Agattu XXL Impulse

Electric Bikes - Comfort - 2012 Kalkhoff Agattu XXL Impulse

"I cannot recommend these bikes enough. There is no way I could commute to work every day on a normal cycle in a terrain like Sheffield at my age and with my level of fitness (at least at the start). Numerous attempts over the past 10 years proved that. My fuel bills have plummetted. I normally use around £60.00 in Fuel each week commuting to work and travelling around the City. Now I use none." says a recent customer of this model

Welcome, fellow fat man!

I'm about the same weight as you - The Kalkhoff's are a good bet as per Tim's recommendation. I've gone a different route - you can read my updates Electric Bikes Community - Pedelecs UK - TobyAnscombe - Blogs

Basically I'm using an assisted electric bike to try to shift some lard, or as the BBC told me today, to try to not resemble someone my age from Tonga....
