Looking to buy an E-Bike as my Motorhome is only Euro 5 and creates some problem when touring Europe.

Space and charging isn’t an issue as I have a HUGE garage and lithium with inverter.

It will be used to cycle from the outskirts of towns/cities into the centre and back again. Also used on light tracks. Not full off road.

My issue is I’m fairly large, 6 foot and 17 stone.

Should I go for a full size hybrid or one of those ‘commuter’ style folding bikes?

Any recommendations are really welcome as I’m clueless. It won’t be used a lot, so if I can get something under £2k, great. Closer to £1k even better but I don’t want a cheap fire risk.

I can’t get a cycle to work scheme unfortunately.

My sub £2k recommendation is what I bought, B Twin Rockrider EST900

Has great power and range, removable battery for easy charging and one less thing to get robbed, Great off road and on road (hybrid tyres might be better for your use though mine are quite chunky.

Mines been superb so far. Price varies between 1800-2000

Forgot to add. Would like to be able to have pannier on front or back to carry my gear. I also want mudguards (although I know you can get aftermarket).

Thanks.

I looked at electric folders for carrying in my motorhome. Decided that the quality was not good unless quite a bit was spent so went a different route. Bought a decent Tern folder with rack, mudguards etc and am going to fit a swytch kit or similar.

We've had a Tenways for a while now, been brilliant.. and a low maintenance option. Might suit for what you need.
