the time may have come. ebike advice.

i was just gonna post a update.

mrs ton has decided she dont want a ebike just yet.  she feels fine riding her spa tourer and is not in a hurry to get anywhere.

so it looks like our trip down the ebike route is on hold.

i have to say after having a good proper think about it. i kind of agree with her.

Respect to Ton and his wife....

Rage, rage etc

Yay!

Just hire one when you need to be out with the other motorbikers.

I think you'll be safer on an ebike than a stunt scooter

Be careful doing any cupid stunts

Trek have just announced a new gravel e-bike, with around 55 miles of range.

im not up on gravel e-bikes, but I’d the range always that rubbish on e gravel bikes?

I reckon I’d easily get that kind of range on my emtb if I was doing a boring gravel ride 

Ton - I’d go and ride an ebike for a day before dismissing again depends on the type of riding you do but they are brilliant in the right circumstances 

At the moment, Giant bikes seem to have the best quality batteries?

I would have plumped for one, but decathlon will (fingers crossed!), trade in my current ebike when the time comes.

i did like the look of decathlons 920, with the 27.5*2.8 tyres.

With a longer fork and more of a Santa Cruz Chameleon aesthetic, and they’d have a winner.
