been toying with the idea of a electric bike to assist my riding cos of medical reasons.
found a very nice looking cannondale that is available converted to electric assist.
£549 at evans and leisure lakes as a standard boke

Depends how good the electric version is I guess. Not familiar with that particular system.
To add a Bionx system (which is the only one I've tried) to a standard bike costs from about £1100.
1k does seem a bit excessive for a battery and hub. Would it be cheaper to get the evans bike (or a different one) and the elctric assist kit separately and do it yourself?
Good luck with getting back into shape
