Hi. I live in a village which has 1:6 hills each side - both up and down.
I currently have an Orbea EBike - a Hybrid Gain F35 which weighs about 18 Kg. Unfortunately the battery has deteriorated such that the range is now only 26 miles.
My dilemma is this.
A replacement battery costs about £500, as does a range extender.
Which would people recommend - either buying a new battery or range extender or, buying a (considerably) lighter mountain bike with lower gearing?
The advantage of the range extender over a new battery is that it can be recharged anywhere - the ebike battery itself is not removable for charging.
The advantage(s) of the mountain bike would be - no charging needed, wouldn't need a cover on the motorhome bike rack!
Hope peeps can give me some advice on this!
