  In 2017, at 51 years old, I bought the Raleigh Motus with hub gears from Easygo Electric Bikes in Linlithgow. Gordon encouraged me to try several options available, and he is an engineer to trade and knows his stuff, so felt in safe hands from the start. This bike has got me back to the cycling activity that I did in my 20s. I have had it several months now and it has just been in today for its 1000 mile service by Gordon. The extra paid for the hub gears is well worth it. Much cleaner drive train and it seems very unlikely that the chain will drop off at any point. I am 6'2" and the 46cm frame works well, with the seat up at its highest allowed position. The whole set-up feels very comfortable and I regularly do between 20 and 30 miles at a time, and return home very content and without the sweat! The 'range' function, while useful, seems to give very conservative figures about what is left in the battery, and I find it more useful to keep an eye on the battery level rather than the range figures. This is my second e bike, and I tested several others at Easygo Bikes before buying the Motus low step with hub gears. I am very pleased and enjoy the opportunities it gives me to get out and it also lends itself well to my passion for photography, so I have many pictures taken during my rides. One issue has been the built-in lights. The rear light stopped working and needed some wiggling of wires! Eventually, the wires came loose, and have been very difficult to fix. I have now replaced the rear light with a rechargeable light that offers 'blinking' which I prefer and think is a safer option, so I will stick with that and not worry about the fact that the wiring to the rear light seems quite vulnerable. At the service today, Gordon made good the wires so that there would not be a 'short' any time soon! In summary, I do love this bike and would recommend it to anybody wanting some inspiration and reason to get out and about. I would also recommend going to a dealer that knows his stuff, and Gordon at Easygo Bikes, Linlithgow, knows his stuff. During the service today, Gordon stripped down parts to ensure they were properly lubricated and functioning. Also got a new chain and brake pads, and he clearly showed the quality of the new parts and offered advice on ongoing maintenance. If anyone wants to look into the option of having an electric bike, or needs experienced and professional opinion, then take a trip to Linlithgow and speak to Gordon. I will be a regular customer.
