Cotswolds
Hi everyone. Collected my first eMtb last Saturday and have been loving it so far. Fortunate to live in the Cotswolds with great access to tracks, bridlepaths and greenlanes.

Can’t believe how much fun these bikes are and hills that used to be a grind are now a breeze. With working from home this means I can go out at lunchtime for a quick 10 mile run out, something that would have been a chore on the old bike.

Will be looking to explore Bredon Hill, the Malverns and Forest of Dean in the near future and also decamp to West Sussex in August for a week and do some of the South Downs.

Initially I was looking at getting the Stilus, but got fed up of waiting for stock and the ordering process. Opted for a Haibike Sduro Hardseven 6.0 which will do everything I need it to do. Yes I wanted a Full sus, but I was on a budget and needed to stick to it but also get a reasonable spec. So far not disappointed with it. See you out there.

Welcome. Lovely place to live. I've got a Hardseven too, although its 3 years old now with the 400 battery, so I'm thinking of upgrading and cant decide whether I really need a full suss or not. There are probably tracks and trails close to you that you don't know exist as some farmers seem to like removing the signs to try and stop people from using them , but there are websites as well as OS maps that can show you where they are.
Havent been to Malvern, but someone said to avoid weekends if possible because of the hordes of walkers.
