Hi my currant bike Voodoo Zobop E with a E7000 250W motor with 60N is just not enough anymore.
Basically I want to ride up stairs and 60N just don't cut it, I am on a budget 3-4K and want a 250W so it is road legal but looking for 90n or more, any thought on this regarding the torque or even a bike recommendation would be very helpful fully suspension only, I can stretch the budget a bit, my riding is mostly trails like lee valley so nothing major but at 62 years old I still want some major fun every now and then, maybe even a motor swap if that is possible with the e7000 hardware? I need to be 100% street legal .
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any feed back would be welcome.
Cheers Simon

Most full power, full suspension , class 1 EMTB are street legal. Try to purchase locally. However, you may want to re-think your budget. A decent EMTB usually starts at $6K. Some speed restrictions are set by the manufacturer for the EU or NA.
 
I have just purchased a Whyte Kado S 800kw battery for £4,195 from the Electric Bike Shop. You can increase the torque to 120nm with the associated app. It's a very capable bike with an excellent reputation and designed in the UK for UK conditions.
 
You should be able to pick up a good discounted Bosch or Shimano powered e-bike. With the interest mainly with Avinox Bikes you should be able to negotiate with an LBS as well.
 
IMO the demand on the Avinex motors is pushing down the price of Bosch powered bikes. To be honest I find the increased power of my Bosch Gen 5 over my previous Gen 4 is fine for me and I wasn't prepared to pay the extra £1500 for the privilege of a lttle more

This is my choice as well, I am looking for a local shop so I can try it and hopefully one that will also take my bike in PX
