Long time rider, new to E-Bikes

[OzzyPT]

Hi Guys

Just a quick introduce.
I am 54 years old and I've been riding for about the last 20+ years.
Nothing to serious, I just love riding the forestry trails near me.
The old knees are going fast so I have just bought my 1st E-Bike, a Voodoo Zebop.
It is £3k in Halfords, but I bought a used one with 300 miles on it for £1800.
I've done about 40 odd miles on it and I must say I am sold!
It has taken the strain off the knees and let's me roll for a few miles more.

Looking forward to get back to the top of the mountains.

keep safe and happy riding

Ozzy

Hi
Welcome
I Feel for your knees and sympathize.

@OzzyPT You may find, like I did, that because you are reducing the strain on your knees that they start to improve. That means walking and stairs will be easier too.

The knees are a pain lol
Hopefully lose a couple of pounds and that will help as well

Cool bike . I'm a big fan of that style of frame design . Looks kinda like a merida eone sixty . Or a Vitus .

It's a good ride.
Did a mountain climb with a friend of mine and it makes the ride a hell of a lot easier.
One of my best buys

Welcome to the party pal
You do realise that £1800 is a down payment right

I have already earmarked some possible upgrades lol
