Go for it! Nice bike.

Cycled for years & had various road bikes. Couple of years ago I got a bit bored of the same old endlessly pounding along on roads & bought a gravel bike. Looks just like a road bike, but comfy frame to sit in & larger, grippy tyres giving my a change to be able to cycle along paths & a little bit of off road.

My mates got into mountain biking & bought these massive clunky, chunky e-bikes [And I immediately christened them e-bike wankers!]. I had a go a few times was impressed with the rides they did. The chose ridges along hills which would be impossible to cycle, or even walk up, & went along them. Great fun, with great views you'll never see on a 'normal' bike. But I feared them as they are so heavy.

Last year I turned 60, so I wanted to treat myself to a new road bike. After a lot of research I bought I Scott Addict eride road e-bike - & its changed the way I cycle & think about cycling. Yes, I get the 'you're fooking cheating' calls; but I point out that I'm over 60, waiting for a hip replacement but still riding. I live in North Wales [not the really hilly bit] & use the assist when I face a head wind or can't be arsed going up a particular nasty climb. Like a poster pointed out below, you only use assist when you need it & it cuts out over 15mph anyway. Enjoy.


Bike would look nice with a basket on the front!
