So I got a scott hybrid bike, love it and the exercise that it gives me... However, Im now looking to get an e bike and Im looking for recommendations...

I had through about modding the scott bike but was advised against it.

So been looking at hybrid and commuter bikes and would appreciate some advice recommendations for one, going to be using it to go between Broxburn and Rose Street.

Ive been advised that a crank drive is the better option for regular use so was looking at Ancheer, Scott, Giant, Cube and Merida bikes. not wanting to spend a lot but also aware that decent quality isn't cheap. so will be around the 1 - 1.5k or even more.... but th4e money Ill save on parking and trams should make it pay for itself over time.

The issue im having is that im 140kg, and im 6'4 so conscious of the front wheel striking my feet and coming off the bike....
