    As I get old and feeble and spend most days working at home I find I am not using my hybrid bike (Specialized Sirrus Sport ) much and am finding it more wearing than previously. Any recommendations for a decent affordable ebike with quality components and a longlife reliable battery? My mate has a Giant Explore e+1 Pro but at £3200 that is way out of my price range. Any help appreciated

    Sell two of them and get yourself a Giant Explore e+1 Pro.

    Should be around £3200 I think.

    If you can't afford an e-bike,this could be the next best thing. Just get your lass to do the pedalling for you. Only trying to help.. Screenshot_20210209-050554_Facebook.jpg
