Just had a go on a Scott sub cross in turbo a hard gear which I left it in and f m l beaming ?

It had a bosche

Ideally 1x 10speed microshift with 80mm suss hardtail that's lightish and budget friendly to I dunno say £800

I am not quite sure what you are asking but I do not think you will get a bosch motor ebike for that sort of money

£3 grand! You could get a mountain bike for that. Even an e-MTB. Not £800 though, no chance

Not a dig at the OP but amongst the general public there's little idea about how much bikes cost.

I was asked by a relative if my MTB was an ebike, I said no they're a bit expensive. Answer was they're not that expensive, £450 at Argos.

I took a look at e-cargo bikes earlier - wanting something to stick on the back of a motorhome instead of dragging a small car around with us ... would be cheaper to just buy a car when we stop

I bought a second hand Carrera Crossfuse. It has a Bosch Active Line Plus motor and a 400wh battery.  I use it for commuting.

I can't remember, but I think it was £750. It was in excellent condition.

I am not actively looking, but I think there are s/h bargains out there. The Bosch ALP motor is reliable, and fully rebuildable.
