I am, as you are all no doubt aware, quite overweight. My brother suggested I get an electric bike as a way to encourage me to exercise, while giving me some assistance to stop me from giving up. What do you lot think?
69% Yeah, electric bike!
12% No, non-electric bike!
4% Walk instead, lazy git!

ebikes are great for people who can't ride unassisted the distance they want to ride, if you want to ride for exercise then just get a normal one and ride recreationally. Pretty sure folding ebikes are not a thing too...

So the thing about wanting an ebike rather than a normal bike is that my bad leg means I want the assistance regardless. I'm currently fancying e-bikesdirect.co.uk/brands/wโ€ฆ I can turn off/down the assist to get more exercise as I get more confident and less enormously fat.

Honestly didnโ€™t think a folder ebike would exist due to the weight of the battery!

I wouldn't have started the poll if they didn't -- I don't have anywhere to keep a non-foldy bike sadly :-)
