Love this Bike, I’ve now had chance to ride the Bike. Where I live there are some pretty Big Hills, and the bike has taken them on no problem. Even the Big hills, I’ve only had to use level 3 on the motor. As I get fitter, this will decrease. I often turn the motor off completely on the flat. So with the added weight of the battery and motor etc. over a normal bike ( non assisted ) You still get a great workout. And if you want to get fit and loose a bit The calories burnt are still high. I’ve never wanted a e-bike as I’ve always enjoyed Cycling without assistance, But due to a lung related infection, I’ve not ridden for six months or gone to the Gym . Buying this bike had changed everything and I’m cycling regularly and lifting in the gym again. It’s easy to get out now , knowing I can get home. So this Bike has helped me get out again. It’s been a real life saver, as already ( it’s only been two weeks) I’ve lost 10lb and Blood Pressure is lower
