5MV-J1 – Choosing a new ebike: heart or head?
—————————————
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fiveminutevelo
At the time of publishing this video, I only owned one bike. I sold the others because they had become more difficult for my Stroke damaged brain to cope with. I plan to augment my only bike, an acoustic bike, with an ebike. In this video I explain my issues and suggest a couple of bikes that could work for me. I canvas your opinions on the bikes that I suggest and ask if you have any other suggestions.
Here are links to the two bikes, I have no connection to either company.

About the 5MV channel
————————————–
My name is Terry and I love cycling. I have named my channel “Five Minute Velo” (5MV). I have called it 5MV because the videos I upload will (mostly) last no longer than five minutes. Each video will cover just one subject that is described in the title. Although the channel is mainly about cycling on the road, I will also cover some light (gravel) off road riding and cycle touring from time to time. No matter what, much of the advice will be pertinent to many branches of the sport/pastime.
I am new to posting videos on YouTube (May 2020) and I have much to learn, particularly in terms of presentation style and production quality. As such I welcome constructive comments that will help me improve the videos that I produce and upload.
There may be some dry humor in some of the videos, so dry it may not always be obvious :-).

How about the Ribble CGR ale?
Have you tried looking at the specialised Vado SL?
I have 2 X20 bikes, the Orbea gain m30i has had problems since I collected from the shop, the battery was faulty, and it took around 3 months to get the battery changed, while I was waiting for the Orbea to get fixed, I ended up getting a Mondraker Dusty R, the Mondraker is a competent bike, and coped with the C2C from Whitehaven to Tynemouth over 4 days.I now use the Orbea for mainly road riding and the Mondraker with 45c tyres for off-road gravel rides,
Hi I’ve just sold my gravel bike too , for the same reason ( I need a ebike )
My age and medical condition.
I have just purchased Merida eScultura 400 Electric Road Bike 2023 – Black .
It’s very comfortable it’s more endurance. I got it for a little off road and wet roads .
Unlike my Ribble Sle which is more racy , which I like when riding in a faster group .
Hope you have a look at Merida .
Or there the van rysel. Both bikes have the Mahle 35 x motor and both are shimano 105 11 speed .
Hope this helps .
