I have a budget of approximately £2000 to purchase an Ebike but looking for recommendations from people who have recently purchased Ebike.
Only experience of Ebike is through purchase of UK business Swytch that I purchased a conversion bike kit several years ago, which was good for last two years but now has developed a fault which is a common problem with swytch generation version 2 kit. So now it's time to upgrade to a full Ebike very soon!
Hope anyone has helpful information to help me come to a decision.
I'm 60 next week, slightly over weight, have arthritic knees, other than that relatively fit! Use existing pedal assist bike on short rides of no more than about 5 miles round trip in roads. But trying to increase my ride mileage for leisurely rides for exercise mostly.

sorted byForget people telling you it’s illegal as every ebike delivery rider uses them and no one cares just like everyone driving a car breaks the law going over the speed limit.
will it be used for going to and from work ? or are you actually going to be going mountain biking ?
the more you can tell us about yourself and the needs & use of the bike will help us point you in the right direction of said bike.
The fuse went in the charger a few years ago and it was a cheap repair.
I got the bike serviced a few times with them but mainly at any bike dealer
Electrics broke on the first day I took it home!! They then fixed it. I don't recall any electronic issues since then. Just usual chain gears etc. (edited)
