It’s always sad to hear about the passing of yet another cyclist. Condolences to all the family and close friends.
Forgot to paste the link:
As a comparison a Trek Domane Alr5 is an aluminium road bike and weighs 10.05kg, my Ribble Endurance SLe Pro weighs 11.5 kg (Ebikemotion) and the Boardman Advance 8.9e weighs 15.5 kg (Fazua)
Without the battery my Ribble Endurance Sle rides like the Trek Domane. My least favourite would be the Fazua system bike without a battery.
Whereas if you aren’t riding very far and the Fazua battery lasts the the 60 n/m vs 40 n/m gives 33% more power.
Hi Ken, it’s too difficult for me to tell you the amount of assistance you require in newton metres. Essentially it doesn’t matter as much the weight of the bike when you have charge in the battery. The Fazua system bikes throw out 60 n/m vs the 40 n/m of Ebikemotion such as the Boardman but when the battery runs out you have a 15.5 kg bike to ride on.
The Boardman Ebike is a very cheap Ebike and a great value from Boardman as usual.
The ideal answer would be try before you buy, though it’s not that easy to arrange. Ribble did have some dates to try them recently though. You could always have a quick go on mine when I’m out on a group ride on a steep hill.
Here is a link to the Boardman offerings for you to look at:
Hi Ken
When it comes to value for money and Ebikes the 2 bikes to look at are the Ribble Endurance SLe or the Orbea Gain both use the Ebikemotion X35+ system. The system is also used by other manufacturers such as Cannondale, Bianchi, Wilier etc. The limitation of the Ebikemotion system is torque output which is limited to 40 Newton metres, so it’s assistance on the steep hills rather than a goped. The advantage of the Ebikemotion system is the bikes are lighter, with the top of the Range SLe hero only weighing 10.5 kg which is awesome for a road Ebike.
I’ve tried some of the other systems such as Fazua and Bosch and they are ok whilst you have battery but when it runs out you have 15 kg of bike to lug around.
There are Ebikes which throw out up to 90 newton metres of torque, so if you’re really struggling it’s good for up to ~50 miles, but after that just not fun.
So at the end of the day you need to compromise power output vs bike weight. For me 40 Nm is enough to get me up the steepest hills and both bikes (Orbea Gain and Endurance SLe) make riding hilly routes much more fun.
The main notable difference between the two bikes is the stopping power of the hydraulic disc brakes which I highly recommend.
Reordered links to drafts so they are in line with the email:

There are a wide range of designs jersey types and sizes. To get to the 10x £48 we would need 10x a single design, so may be best to opt for one type of short sleeve for the summer. I can put the logos on any of them and they can be purchased at the individual prices for each model if needed.
Size chart is here:
Hi
They have versions to suit everyone and I can soon knock up another version if required.
