Yep, dragged back in to e-bike thoughts having watched someone lapping the Hope Trail at Gisburn as I recovered from the long climb on the bench.
I'd always planned to make the jump when I retire in approximately 3 years and buy whatever bike float my boat at the time. If I go now my budget will be more modest, probably £5k max so while the Amflow waiting list grows longer and longer I've been debating the Saracen and Specialized, both available with a decent discount.
The Saracen in Pro or Elite mode seem to be well specced for the money and have decent motor/battery numbers. The Specialized is down on both but does come with Ohlins and a likely higher value in a few years.
Any thoughts from owners?
I’ve got a Levo SL2. Picked it up barely used super cheap(£1800) and it’s great for what I use it for (2hr thrash around the local woods and moors). I get 25-30k and about 800m of vert out of a battery doing that.
a bit more power would be nice and a bit more battery would be nice but not enough to spend any more money. The design is quite old now so there must be a new one in the offing.
