Re: Electric MTB
Probably not until there is some sort of incident and then it'll be a 'deadly de-restricted' mtb menace plaguing paths storyline and plenty of indignation in press with resulting knee jerk reaction in law.

Electric MTB
Out on mine every day as my daily exercise. Over 300 last month.
Pennine bridleway is close by, I did a 36 mile a week or so ago.
I try to keep mine in either Eco or Tour but I get back on my Trek Fuel EX5 and my god it’s hard work.

I've done over 1000 miles since I bought it in autumn last year … I is really knackered now, but a lot fitter, .. and now I have learned to cruise (slowly) in freewheel for great distances

I have my eye on the Levo, gets a lot of good press on Youtube. Esp the 2020 version with the 700w battery. I want to wait and see how things go with my job during these turbulent times before spending a lot of money at the moment but hopefully I'll get one back end of this year. So might see you round on the lanes !
May I ask where you bought yours?

The Levo with its excellent suspension is a joy to ride on rough tracks , youre welcome to try it when we get back to normal , I bought mine from Brinks Cycles near Bedford got a surprising large discount given that bike shops are flat out busy at the moment , they were excellent and converted the bike to tubeless foc as part of the prep as a matter of course ,took time to explain the suspension and set it up for my weight , and offer a free first service .
I am looking forward to getting back onto the lanes on a motorbike.
