Hi,
So I am a reasonably fit woman in late 40’s looking to get an e-bike primarily for commuting to work (approx 15km each way) from West Auckland to central city, and a few urban rides on the weekend maybe. I’m an experience mountainbiker so used to riding a bike but want to cut down on commute time to work and not have to shower at work in the mornings.
I’ve researched on this site and others in terms of what might suit me and will head out this weekend for some test rides but keep asking myself ‘am I on the right track?’ What I think I should be looking for is a commuter bike, mountain bike 27.5 tyres punture resistant, mid drive, torque sensor, good lights, probably a step through or easy entry. Happy to spend up to $5k. Any recommendations on what to look at and where?
