My wants are quite different to theirs lol. I want it to get me 'up' to a place circa 2 k`s then im able to explore that hilltop far fresher than from walking to that point. Mix of grass,mud and broken ground that`s easy walking uphill but age tells me to get a machine to do the yards. I have a suzuki that will do it far easier but 100 times louder lol.I had a Trek for a while, ended up selling it but it was really good. Specialised seemed to be the most popular at the time and im sure still are.
This is the place to read up on all things eMTB:
That looks good although I see a lack of traction with those tyres for my hill. I know that I require knobby tyres and dont know if they are made for ebikes.
I certainly want one that i don`t have to pedal up hill lol..the Suzy Ag Bike would get me up there in three minutes,walking a good hour,probably more.
Thats a beautiful pic,where is it?
Don't think you can see the tread fot the mud!
All (legal) UK ebikes are pedal assist only. I.e. they won't go purely motor power.
Yes understand that but if it was a knobby there be **** all mud retained I reckon.
That sounds good to me.
Really sticky mud (forestry road stripped to be rebuilt). 2.6" tyres

Have been looking at getting an e bike for a good while ..where would be a good place to start looking for a good used one in your opinion.. thanks
Jimmy Cook? The one and only?
If using purely offroad on your permission, would the bike have to be legal?
No not at all.
We picked up both ours up locally as low mileage second owner bikes, some hire places offload theirs much like one season used skis, but the usual online places are worth a peruse, there are a few places nationwide specialising in offering such bikes, there are always bikes being traded in against new models too. Generally speaking, older riders tend to have pretty under-abused and well maintained bikes.
