Just looking for advice here. So, after years of talking about it and my encouragement, she is now keen to get an electric hybrid. She’s 55 and very unfit so electric is an ideal route in. What she wants is something that she can ride with me at home around the rolling north Somerset countryside and in our holiday home in the Pyrenees;not a racing style bike with drops but a flat handle bar hybrid, something we could do some longer distance touring on too possibly.

So, it needs to have enough battery oomph to do a fifty mile round trip over a small mountain pass involving a 14km col of between 4 and 10% gradient each side, and comfortably.

I think this is doable with something like this Cube/Bosch combo

Any thoughts would be welcome.

For myself, I’m a fit road cyclist used to cycling in the mountains without power assistance so evening up the difference would work pretty well.

Hi Richliv,

What is your budget? 

In my head, £2K but as it’ll be a cycle to work scheme purchase, could go over that if something really fitted the bill
