My final two were down to a Cube and Whyte FS, both have the new Bosch motor which is excellent and not failing en masse like the Brose (Specialized) and Shimano motors seem to be.

Its cracking, got me through winter.No, if I can't get out on the bike I'm quite happy to do something else. Concept looks good though

Cube offer the best bang for buck when it comes to mtb's with Canyon a close second, problem with Canyon is they are direct to customer which isn't normally an issue but if I were to be buying an e bike it will have to be local.

Same here, I will always buy from a local bike shop.
Much easier for when things go wrong.

Commencal make a cracking ebike as well but again it's distance buying.
have to say i'm missing my MTB, custom built steel with Pace carbon forks. got it in 97 great ride, got a crack in one of the frame. it can be repaired but not got the tools to remove the BB and forks so i can send it away.
Got myself a Fatbike last year, a good workout with the big tyres.
been toying with getting another road bike and the quiter roads would have been a good oppo to get back out on the road, but too many little twits driving around still that think they are rally drivers

@Beezerk would be better answering that.
I havent tried one yet but I have seen some reviews on road bikes and they are certainly more help if you are doing a lot of climbing.

Get a shot of one and you'll find out.
don't need one... have rupert on one of those Bikejoring harnesses, though down hill is effing scary, and he does like to stop for a pee on the steepest part of a climb

I didn't say you did need one, you asked what the point of them is, I said, get a shot of one and you'll find out.
not much chance TBH, is it to help you get up climbs, i could see if you were just interested in downhilling i would be of use, but for me i still enjoy going uphill under my own steam... even though being so fat its hard work now

Fun end of.
My local woods has some decent trails, you can go from top to bottom once, maybe twice if you're feeling up for it. We can now go up and down as much as we want as hills don't really exist anymore. Don't get me wrong, you still have to pedal A LOT but it can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be.
The extra weight means they are very stable downhill as well, point and plough ?
We also sometimes do normal cross country long distance rides, I did 45 miles to Tynemouth and back last Saturday afternoon just for a laugh, there's no way I'd have considered that on my normal MTB.

Indeed - but cycling not possible if I am going to use my one hour exercise a day to go for a walk with my Mrs...besides - I'm not going to be out to do any time trialling or such like. I'll put my head phones on and listen to some music or something else for 30mins or so.
