Two Firsts

[Shaun E Bike]

I've just ordered my first ebike and first full suspension bike. So I thought I'd join EMTB as I have a lot to learn.
I was big into BMX as a kid and then went back to it aged 32, until I wrecked knee / ACL, riding away from a jump that I'd landed. Now I'm back for some more punishment and more fun.
I'll be riding around the Brighton and Hove area, so if anyone rides local, I might be keen to hit some trails with you.
I've ordered my bike through the The cycle to work scheme with no £1000 limit - Green Commute Initiative which I assume is will known about on the forum, a great way to save a small fortune on the cost of your bike.

Which bike did you buy ? It’s great way back into riding . Never really heard the cycle to work scheme fully explained , Iam self employed so no good to me but Iam sure there’s some here who would benefit

I had made my mind up on a Canyon Spectral:ON 8.0 but given the huge savings from the green scheme (not available at Canyon) I went for a Levo Comp Carbon in the end from the Newbury Specialized Concept Store, since they have stock.
Specialized 2019 MEN'S TURBO LEVO COMP CARBON FSR
Planning on picking it up next week.

I got my levo with the green commute initiative. It’s a brilliant scheme. I believe it’s better for the bike shop too.
