Electric bike
I'm thinking of biting the bullet and going electric for a bit of commuted assistance and the days the diabetes or operations start to hurt. Not a huge amount of money so my options look very limited - what would people recommend?

E bikes are all over the bike shops and I've spotted more on my commute including a small number who have been 'delimited' and easily get up to 35km/h plus (more than the average roadie can get to on the flat).
The bike mechanic I use had some wise words. His view was that when you take away the motor, it's just a bike so you need to look at components; how good are they and will they last? His other observation was customer service and warranty. A particular brand may be a good bike, but if you have issues with the motor/battery and it has to go back to the manufacturer for weeks; no bike! He wasn't generally a fan of Giant bikes, but he did say their customer service was excellent so he'd opt for a Giant if he was buying an e-bike.
