Look at the Canyon Spectral On 2021. They start at £4,600 for an EP8 with 630wh. Not sure if they add duties though or if any stock. There is one for £5k too.

Coming March 2021, it says - I've clicked "notify me"https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/electric-bikes/electr...
I like the "mullet" setup on that.
I've ordered a CF6 in black. Just hoping this actually happens and arrives. We will see.

Good choice, probably the best value in the range - Shimano 12 is superb compared to their 11 speed stuff and a step up from SRAM.Massive battery and efficient engine should give you a real world 50 mile range even with a decent amount of climbing.

To be 100% honest I'm not altogether convinced that it will actually arrive on or around the stated date - bike supplies seem to be all over the place at the moment. I'm certainly not putting my current Haibike up for sale until I actually see the Canyon in my hallway.

Received my Swytch kit this week and fitted it today. All very straightforward once I filed down the flat sides of the axle to get it to fit in the forks. Been out for a short spin and very happy. Only downside is I realised I ordered the silver front wheel rather than the black - lucky I'm not a purist.
|https://thumbsnap.com/8bDXxoZ6[/url]Just taken my first ride on my new Ribble Endurance SLE, and it was just what I'd hoped for. I haven't been able to get out on my bike for three years due to some health issues , but the Ribble lets me ride wherever I want and keep my heart-rate exactly where I want it.
The ebikemotion system is a bit of a seven-stone-weakling compared to most of the systems on this thread, but for me it's ideal. 30% gives a gentle push that overcomes the extra weight and gives a little bit of help on long drags, 60% has got me happily up 10% gradients with very little effort at about the speed that I managed before my health issues kicked in, and I haven't even tried 100% yet. Did a 30 mile loop with 700m of elevation and used 20% of battery power.
Bike weighs about 11.5KG and actually rides really nicely on flat and false-flats, so quite practical to ride the majority of the time over 15MPH with no assistance. Once I manage to stop trying to do Campag - style gearshifts on the Shimano shifters, I'll be golden.

How do you charge the battery?

Can you take it off to do so?

The main internal battery/logic unit is replaceable when it degrades, but its quite an involved process to remove it, and it would not be practical to do so every time the battery needs charging.

I’m slow to get back accruing the miles this year - snow hung around from Christmas to nigh on mid Feb,
But just gone and done 40km / 2hr40 ride
From the word of hybrid ships / DP et al - I call it the same as peak shaving and spinning reserve.
Great morning out. And in the tub relaxing no
I used to nail the same a spotty teenager on my Rock Hard
That Ribble looks and sounds great.
