Hello all just joined forums and such a wealth of information im finding is brilliant.
I was a normal mountain bike user untill two years ago and heart attack and two stents, now im proud owner of a cube Hybrid pro on 29inch with bosch cx line performance motor * hardtail* as i tried to start again on my voodoo hoodoo but i could not do it anymore.. well not to my old extent..
Anyhow while i am here i need some advice..
I do not do massive downhills but love to explore woodland rough trails and fire roads.. now im finding the cube to be a bit of pain in my old bottom and am looking at a full suspension ebike...
Anything i should look for in particular * limited budget* was looking at Haibike allmountain ,giant stance or vitus e sommet.. means me selling my cube though as all are 3k+..
Any advice would be great..

Get to a few demo days & try some different bikes out.
Have a look at 2nd hand maybe too, you’ll get a much better spec bike for your money....
I recently bought a 2nd hand Cube stereo (full suspension) & enjoy Dalby Forest more than I ever thought possible!

Hey guys I am taking Linda's Skoda in for a service at Des Winks in Eastfield on the A64 on the way into Scarborough next Thursday morning at 8.30am it will take around 3 hours as it is a big service!

I fancy taking my Levo but I don't know the area is there anything I can ride from there does anyone know?

Thanks

There are a few ebike retailers around the Moors, Bike Scene Guisborough, Peddler”s Redcar, Northern Cycles Malton, Westbrook’s Stokesley.
Pretty sure Northern have demo ebikes you can take to Dalby. Bike Scene have Levo”s to demo.
