A basic level of quality at the price point between £1,000 and £1,500 has become one of the most sought-after consumer wants when it comes to #electricbikes.

For Evans Cycles and its house brand Pinnacle Bikes, this is where many customers are shopping. With the £1,250 Momentum they can tap into a bike that has leisure and commuter versatility, but better still, deploys a very good mid motor from Ananda too.

Has anyone bought an ebike from Aldi before? Apparently they're selling a foldable one for 600 AUD next weekend and the two older Kids are thinking of buying one to share (they can alternate taking it to work when they do their morning shifts). The cost isn't outrageous but I'm worried about whether the quality might be a bit meh?

Saying that, Aldi has never let me down before but also I've never spent so much at once on something from there

In the approximately £2,999 price bracket that the Moustache Xroad occupies, Mark doesn't don't think he has tried a better value #ebike.

If you want one bike to do it all, this covers ground like a whippet, can carry goods and has great attention to detail:

We've had a handful of carbon fibre electric folding bikes on test, but this is the first that has a rear shock included.

Meet the Tezeus Swift, a smartly organised & lightweight #ebike now sold in the UK.

Richard found a bike with lots of potential, but a few snags that could have been solved with more localised support.

So today I took my new to me electric bike out to do some jobs.

Wonderful.

A five mile up hill ride was like riding on the flat.

There is a pattern to the way it likes to be ridden, for example the engine seems happiest at about 80rpm on the peddles which for me is in muscle memory. And you need to let off the pressure to change gear, but campagnolo was similar. And you can certainly feel the weight in the handling (my racing bike was comfortably sub 10kg including water bottles).

But the ease I could do it and keep my cardiac load under control was a game changer. Even with a pannier of hand tools it was a breeze.

I accept I am fortunate to be able to afford it (I’m hoping less wear in the car will compensate it over time) but if you are pondering, take the advice of people on here, take the advice of a good local independent bike shop and do it.

In the spring Cycling Electric magazine we've dedicated a significant portion to testing do-it-all electric mountain bikes.

We are long past the days of jack-of-all-trades setups being awkward to ride in both an urban & a cross-country setting. Recent refinements in design mean that fully-equipped #ebikes like the Merida eFloat EQ platform excel at just about everything. In this market, where budgets are tight, that feels important.
