Hi all , I'm in need of some advice about my first Ebike .
I've had my Giant Anthem stolen out of the garage and been made an offer by the insurance company . Basically I've got a decent amount towards my first ebike , I'll have to contribute , and figured no better time to make the move . If I use their designated supplier i get full offer , if i want cash to spend locally , which I'd prefer , the deduct a not insignificant 20% , approx £680 !
This will be my only mountain bike and my riding consists of local fairly flat bridleways with a once or twice a month trip to Peak District or trail centres like Dalby , Cannock or Sherwood.
I was leaning towards a Levo SL due to the local rides , I quite often ride over 15mph and average just under that on a regular 25 mile route . My thinking was that past the motor cut off it would be an easier bike to ride . However , I've spent some time looking and you just seem to get better value if you buy a full fat ebike . Led me to feel the Levo SL is expensive given its spec .

I've picked the Moustache as an example , I've got a dealer a few miles away and I can also get it from the insurance supplier , although I may try to get a bit of discount locally and buy from him , I'd sooner support local .
My worry is the weight of a full fat bike past that cut off . Ideally I'd like to demo but the dealer doesn't stock higher end bikes , supplied to order and I'd feel bad trying something I'm going to buy elsewhere. Same applies to the Levo , plus there's the complication of Covid and not being easy to just get a look and ride on something right now .
Any input be great, its not a bad problem to have but I want to buy right , I tend to keep my bikes a while .
Thanks
