I’m going to be up in the Lakes in a couple of weeks and rather than taking my own bike I’m going to hire an e-bike while I’m there, you can get a decent full sus for about £80 for the day. 
Any suggestions for decent routes that’ll be rideable this time of year from Keswick?

If I'm honest I'd just ask the bike shop - they'll be able to give you the best and most up to date advice

Borrowdale Bash is the one I’d go for.

Same. Easy to navigate Lakes classic. If you want some following of the signs, head to Whinlatter.

Bash or Glenderaterra/Lonscale. Or both.

The description linked here doesn't include the newly upgraded BW over Walla Crag, accessed from Rakefoot near the Castlerigg campsites - it will be pretty wet just now on that section though.
