So frustrating! Thanks for picking up on these aspects. If only I the laws here in the UK were the same as those in the USA....

Hi Captain Slow, sadly that info is incorrect. I was using an electric bike - Cube acid as far as I was aware. If only I was that fit.... Made me smile to read this. What next Captain? X

Hi Captain Slow I logged the last 2 test rides I did on Strava. I'm on as Aneesa Chaudhry. I don't use it a lot but hope you can see the gradients of the hills and speeds I managed on the 2 bikes I tested.

Hi Deacon Blue Do you have any experience of the Vado SL or Creo and know how it performs up steep hills? Thank you Aneesa

Thanks Stefan. So would you say that the Vado offers a high level of power like the Trek powerfly or Cube Acid? They seem the closest in terms of power to what I wanted. I'm in Brighton in the UK so need to find out where I can try one. Cheers

Ah. Thanks for that. Still looking.....x

Can I just ask why I'm not allowed the eMulekick in the UK? Thanks

Do you know how well this one does up steep hills? If the battery doesn't come off it's not the end of the world so long as I can lift it up steps. It's already 15kg. Thanks

Oh no! I thought we were making good progress. From what you know I need which bikes do you think come closest? Aneesa

Once arriving home on my bike, i expect to have to lock up my bike briefly, remove the battery and panniers and do a first trip indoors followed by second trip with the bike. It seems removing the bike is the most practical way for me to lift it up our stairs. Having a slightly heavier bike...

Thanks for this. I wasn't getting updates in my email so I thought you'd all disappeared but see you're still on the case! Thanks guys. SO... with this Specialised Turbo Vado SL, the weight is pretty good (15KG) but do you think it would provide a high level of pulling power up the steep hills I...

Hi Cyklefanatic, i definitely DON'T want one of these scooters. My aim is to be able to replace my car with a good enough, practical electric bike that will allow me to carry my mini music PA home in panniers. I have an arm and back injury so can't manage heavy lifting, hence the call for a...

Hi Marci I guess the most important thing is weight to get it up the stairs to our house followed by ease of riding up steep hills. The Cude acid, Trek powerfly, focus were all pretty good. It doesn't need to be new either! I'd rather now than wait a few years as i really want to reduce my car...

Here's where i'm at with this TOMDAV, You guys are amazing. Thanks for all taking the time to try and genuinely help me work out how to find a solution. So the main thing i'm getting is that I may not need as much torque as I think I do for steep hills if the power on the motor is sufficient...

Hi there, just pasting where i'm at with finding the bike: You guys are amazing. Thanks for all taking the time to try and genuinely help me work out how to find a solution. So the main thing i'm getting is that I may not need as much torque as I think I do for steep hills if the power on the...

You guys are amazing. Thanks for all taking the time to try and genuinely help me work out how to find a solution. So the main thing i'm getting is that I may not need as much torque as I think I do for steep hills if the power on the motor is sufficient. So, what i've found so far is this: I...

Nice bike and looks powerful but I can't lift 22kg. I can't find what it weights without the battery but i don't think it'd be close to 13kg.

Hi Timpo, The weight of this is pretty close to what I know I can manage weight wise This looks pretty close to the weight I can manage. What do you think about the power and torque for managing the steep hills and steps?

Thanks Tomdav, especially for the explanations. Starting to understand more as I read.
