In about a month, I'll be looking at buying an #eBike. I'm told fedi has a strong ebike community, so I'd appreciate advice.

• I'll have a budget of around £600.
• I'd like to buy second hand.
• The longest distance I expect to ride is about 12 miles.
• I need a removable battery.
• I want to be able to add panniers.

Edit to add: I'm in the UK
