Hi, I'm looking to get a bike and i am going to go for an E-Bike, i'm 49 live on a hill and am not fit!
The main purpose to getting this bike is to help me get fit, working from home has made the cookie jar an easy target!
Once the lock down is over and my office opens up I will probably just need to go in once a week as I can continue to work from home, my office is in London which is 24 miles for me and too far for me on a normal bike.
Being a bloke I didn't want a massive battery sticking out and wanted the E-Bike to look like a normal bike, I have found a bike called Orbea Gain which hides the battery in the front downtube.
My budget is around £2000 so i was looking at the D50
3 questions, first one is any comments on the Orbea Gain D50
second one is, any alternatives within my price bracket ? must look like a normal bike
and thirdly I understand the law might change in the UK and the speed limit could increase, do we have any idea when this might happen?
Thank you all
