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

Thoughts?

@rpbook it's worth looking to see whether your employer has a cycle to work scheme. Only good for new (and you may end up being funneled into halfords) but you'll save the tax on the purchase price, so you might be able to push that budget up a bit

@ahchay I'm self-employed, so no employer and no cycle to work scheme.

@rpbook ah, okay. Thought it worth mentioning - good luck with your search
