Looking at an e-bike for the commute, in fact have already test ridden two. the trouble seems to be that I hit 17mph more of the time so the power assisted bike very quickly turns into a heavy bike.
I understand that they can be modified but the guy in the shop didn’t really want to go there (compliance I assume so no problem).
What are the pros and cons of modding one, getting it to 20 mph would be a game changer. I assume that it voids the warranty so it could be best just to buy second hand and then mod?
– Where would you get a second hand one?
– Any recommends on e-bikes. I rode a Rayleigh Strata, felt good but at £2.5K a bit more than I wanted to spend.
– Also rode a Benilli. at £1.6K the price point felt good but the power assist was in the rear hub and was no ways as good as the Strata.
But, that kind of style would be great…
