[Smartie]

Looking for an electric bike for journeys to work , 5 miles a day approximately. I am 5ft 2 and have no idea where to start

Budget?
Is it very hilly where you are? For 5 miles, you may not need an e bike otherwise?

My wife has an Orbea Vibe H30 which is really nice, range about 40miles, lightweight and low gearing so well useable without having assist on.
However, as mentioned if only 5 miles do you need an e-bike. Only you can answer that question.

I was thinking similar but didn't want to get shot down by the leccy bike mafia..

One would hope that 5 miles would be achievable (albeit slowly, if initial fitness isn't great) and normal bikes have a lot of advantages over assisted jobs with cost being a big one.

Do you want a step through design or something with a standard frame shape ? Have you sorted out where at work you will be storing it as well and how much will you need to carry ?
