I used to do a fair bit of riding but sort of gave up 6/7 years back I’ve put weight on and become unfit then I moved to an area with nowt but hills . I’m 55 and have stepped back from full time farming and have time spare to do things I enjoy.Thanks for the reply wasnt really sure where to put it.
I have never actually ridden a e bike so not seen how much help they give.
I currently have a scott s35 and a specialised Sirius but was thinking about getting back into trails I did have a 10 year old cube ams 125 but got rid as it needed a fair bit of work doing.
I have been toying in my head between e bike or just new bike and really can't decide.
The only thing I am thinking with the e bike is it would make me more inclined to go out.
Back in February I got a Gtech mountain bike 2nd hand (not the white one) with the idea of getting back into cycling again at 1st I was a little sceptical about it but now I’m a bit fitter it’s pretty good. It turns what would be daunting topography it to a usable area where once over I’d say I’m not going round that because of that climb it’s no problem now.
I switch the battery off quite a bit so it’s not always helping.
I’m going to sell my Giant XTC and the Gtech and buy a better E bike.
