Hey all,
I'm new to e-bikes. I've always been too busy working and driving my nice car to look into this properly.
There are some nice EMTBs, and my favourites so far are:
www.jmhcycles.co.uk
www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk
www.e-bikesdirect.co.uk
Or do I convert a bike like this (to a 1000W Bafang system)?
I had a look at some installation videos and I don't like how the brake sensors are installed on a custom build, i.e., bafang, they use double-sided sticky tape. To me, it looks a bit off.
I'll be doing all sorts of rides (road, town, off-road) with my wife who has a back problem so she won't be doing any "off-road" rides or at least not in an extreme way.
Do I go with a factory-made legal (UK) e-bike with 250W or do I build my own 1000W e-bike? I want it to be a full-suspension bike.
What does maintenance look like in terms of battery replacement and other parts in factory-built e-bikes? Will I be able to get a replacement battery for my bike in say 5 years' time? They are so expensive I would not want to buy a new bike just because older models are no longer supported.
My budget? Well, I don't want to pay more than £3-3,5k. This is super expensive and I'm not a pro but I do like nice quality things.
Many thanks in advance!
