Hang on a minute..a Cube 500w e-bike with Bosch starts at £1600: https://www.freeborn.co.uk/cube-cross-hybrid-pro-500-black-blue-2017just to wind this up, I had a ride on an electric bike today and was impressed,,,cube something or other, Bosch electronics, shimano gearset. The motor had 4 settings. On it's lowest it simply cancels out the extra weight of the bike (24K !) and above that you get easier and easier hills. I like the choice and Cube seem very well made
BUT
I didn't like the price!
Decent hybrid road bike £6-800. Electric equiv, !800 upwards!
Hm.
If you ring them, as I did, you might get another hundred off, as I did.
Also, there is a touch of motor resistance when pedalling with the motor switched off. So the eco setting (lowest) is cancelling that out also.
