All,
I’m resigned to the the likelihood that I won’t get out in my cars this summer, and working from home isn't great for fitness. But where I live I have access to miles of good, deserted, forestry/hill tracks/trails. I’ve decided to buy 2 eMTB for wife and myself. My wife has an old well used Trek non suspension. Thus looking at Trek Powerfly 5 with front suspension. But I’d be interested in any recommendations from others? or experience of Trek PF5?

My other half has a cube acid hybrid eMTB, and a good friend who i ride with has a cube acid eMTB, both hardtails with the same motor (bosch), though the acid has a larger battery.They both got them approx 18 months ago and to be honest seem well built and well woth the money. Friend has changed the forks on his acid to better ones as the originals were abit cheap and basic, neither bikes have had any issues with the motors or batteries. £3k should get you a very decent spec bike.

Watching with interest... but probably only half the budget (was looking at the Decathlon e520 Rockrider)
