Hardtail emtb up to £4.5k

another XC mid power light weight to consider is the 130mm 130mm Scott lumen
looks pretty stealth - it doesn't shout monster! - coming in at around £4k for a 2025 sale model
the TQ motor is very quiet and being XC it isn't designed for the big stuff

Newbie looking for my first emtb. I live 5mins from the South Downs Way so that’s where all my riding takes place. Just turned 60yrs old so no whippet but have been riding regularly for 20 yrs.
Range of say 4hrs/50miles would be enough
Recommendations for a hardtail emtb up to £4.5k anyone?

So after much deliberation I’ve finally received delivery of my new bike
First short ride today and it’s blown me away, super quiet, smooth assistance and confidant I’ve made the right decision as it suits my type of riding perfectly.
A quick 19.4miles along the South Downs, riding in Eco mode only, only 1400ft of climbing but finished with 68% battery remaining so another positive.

It’s taken 25yrs off me
