Hi all
I'm having to change my ebike order AGAIN?
Since I placed my 1st order in October I've switched from a Whyte e-160RS to a Marin Alpine and then to a Propain Ekano because of delays in ordering etc. I now find myself having to switch again because of more delays.
My local bike shop now has a choice of 4 bikes in stock and I'm torn between which to go for.
The options are -
Nukeproof Megawatt comp.
Whyte e-160RS.
Whyte e-150s.
Specialized (a number of models that I can't remember)?‍♂️

Obviously cost is a major factor, the nukeproof is the cheapest option but not sure what they're are like.

Just after some opinions to help with the decision.

Thanks all.
Ashley

If you wanted the Whyte in the first place, that's probably the logical choice ?

The Nukeproof looks like a great bike but the Bosch setup is slightly more efficient for range and arguably more reliable. OK, it's a lot more reliable.

The Whyte's seem really well thought out and put together and by accounts ride well.

Thanks mate, I ended up going with the e-160RS.
Will be collecting it next week and cannot wait.
