Hi to all.
Overweight with dodgy knees I decided that an electric bike would be the thing for me - can still cycle but take the strain off when needed.

Looking to cycle about 12 miles to work a couple of times a week, looking for something robust enough to cope with fen roads any my weight around 19 stone !!!! - budget of 1k - any advice greatly appreciated.

Woosh Big Bear or £1200 Ezee bike.

Thanks for the recommendation - the Big Bear is a cracking looking machine that's for sure.

And the guys (and girls) there are great to deal with!

They're selling like hot-cakes, apparently, so you better get your order in quickly. i've heard that they only have white ones left (Polar Bears?).

One thing I have noticed is that the Woosh bikes are only recommended for people up to 95kg ....I'm 120kg

There's also a woosh supplier in Cambridge so may take a look

I wouldn't take too much notice of that weight limit. I'm 100kg (naked) and I've ridden one with full winter gear including steel toe-cap shoes plus a few kg of shopping.

Also, you will loss weight when you are out for cycling
I do not think there is an issue
