@Waxingtonknee@mastodon.org.uk I researched obsessively when I bought an ebike a couple of years ago - and ended up with the wrong bike. So I'm not the person to ask! But, here's what I found - and hopefully you'll avoid my pitfalls I wanted a belt drive (Gates Drive style), folding, hub geared (essential with belt drive), step over preferably, and UK legal. I ended up with the MiRider GB3 and while it's not a disaster, it's far from ideal. It's very heavy, and due to the folding mechanism it creaks from the headset! It is massively under geared for any experienced rider, and due to the weird non-standard gearing this can't be changed. I found that I don't need the fold, I've never used it 'in anger' and it's too heavy to move around when folded. I should have spent more time going to shops and persuading them to let me test ride them! Good luck
