commuter suggestions

[mynydd]

Hi, I have been commuting on a Scott sub sport electric hybrid bike for the last 6 years and it has been fantastic. Somehow the motor has become water damaged and is a write off (I’ve had several people confirm this)
the rest of the bike is in used but fair condition, the question is do I replace the motor...... or look for something else via the cycle to work scheme.
I have a couple of other bikes, including an e mountain bike, but none of them come anywhere close to the comfort of the Scott, with it’s full mudguards, rack etc.
Any thoughts? or suggestions of a comparable bike at a decent price
Thanks

It will be cheaper - probably - to get a new motor if they are available

but then you have an old bike with an old battery for x pounds

but it is a bike that you know

if you get a decent replacement then you will have a new bike with zero wear and tear for y pounds

so it depends on the x and y
and how you feel about bikes and change

You could go round and try out a few new ones - LBS's often don;t mind a short test ride - and see how that feels

and you could use the old saddle on the new bike if that helps
