1 road with mid motor, and my OH has one, road-mid motor...does that count? technically 2 in the household but really one each...?

Yeah sure it counts! I was encouraging mrs mustang tonget an e-bike too but she is not convinced. Then she saw my haibike (it was uhm hidden thus far :smile:) so perhaps she will think about it again.

My OH loves hers...uses it all the time for either local "popping out", or longer trips with friends....she would not be without one now.
Would definately go mid motor as this makes best use of the pwoer band as the motor works thro' the gears...(essential if you are in a hilly area...)

Yes, we have two (one each). Both are Specialised Turbo Vado 4 SL, one Medium, crossbar, one, small step thru. Only had them for about three weeks, but, so far, very pleased with them.

I have three. A Scott Sub Sport eRide SE with Bosch Performance Line CX motor, a Whyte Winchelsea with Fazua motor, and a Cube Travel SL with Gates Carbon belt drive and Shimano Alfine 8 hub gears. I fitted a Swytch kit to that one. I like them all :smile: I have non-e-bikes too.

i have two Cube Acid Ones......one set-up with 50mm slick tyres for commuting ( although i no longer commute) the other set-up with 50mm gravelish tyres for bumpier paths, roads and canals.

Having 2 of the same bike, also means i have two of the same batteries and as both bikes have racks fitted, i could carry an extra battery if i desire to do an extra long ride.......but so far i have done 52miles on the one 500wh battery, with 2 bars still remaining out of 5
 
We have 2 ebikes - my 'proper' one - Raleigh Motus
and my wife has a folder - but I ride it far more than she does

the folder is great because it is easier to fit in the car

I have a Giant quicke+ hybrid as my commuter, 400wh battery mid mount Yamaha motor and a Boardman Adv 8.9e as my gravel bike, Fazua system. I'm currently contemplating replacing my Trek Roscoe 7 MTB with a Kinesis rise pro, Fazua system. I've got too many ebikes nobody said ever.

My wife always wanted one which considering at the time we were both fit and healthy, i thought was unnecessary. OA got me so i got my Carerra e, it seemed selfish so we got my wife her Mottus.
Just as well, her legs arent so strong now, knee problems etc. Had we not got them, i suspect neither if us would be cycling at all.

It seems some of you have e-bikes due to ahealth requirement and others have it for either long commutes or fun.

I bought my emtb for those days when i feel sluggish but still want to go out. Or even when i am feeling ok but want to go electric. The emtb is quite frustrating on the road; that 25 kph limit is so low but its great off road.

Im glad i bought it although initially i had slight buys remorse. But with prices just spiralling out of control, I thought if i do not experience an ebike now, i may never get the chance. I think this bike will be with me for at least 10 years.

I bought my first Ebike because of a bad Achilles heel injury. But I got so much pleasure out of riding it, it made me want a different style of Ebike so I could continue enjoying riding like I had done previously. I have gone from 5 manual bikes to 2 ebikes and a standard MTB.

Currently only the one (Samebike) and was about to buy a car - but given petrol prices and how much I enjoy cycling - think maybe a second E-bike would be good, given it's relied on for commuting.

Am very keen to get another Fazua powered road bike to join the Boardman commuter. The hard bit convincing my wife I need x2 eBikes for essentially commuting.....which my current eBike already does very well.
