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?

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/w… I can turn off/down the assist to get more exercise as I get more confident and less enormously fat.

Honestly didn’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 :-)

I thought you lived up north where houses were £5!
