Merida eOne-Sixty SL 6000 is only a handlebar swap away from being pretty much perfect.

That looks really well put together, and very stealthy hiding its “E”.

But, for £1,000 more, you can now get the Whyte elyte Works, with a £500 range extender included. That was previously the best handling e-bike wasn’t it?

It does indeed hide its E-ness well. Although is that partly because we're accustomed to increasingly chunky-tubed 'normal' bikes with downtube storage etc?

I know I'll regret 'only' having 60Nm and 430Wh when I'm riding with others on Amflows, but that's the compromise. For solo rides I'm very happy with a mid-power, low-weight ebike. Heckler SL (an actual 20.6kg in XXL in real-life with pedals, mudguard etc) feels very similar to my non-ebike in general, and lots better than Mrs a11y's 26kg full power Cube. Currently reduced to £6k so puts it into same price bracket as an Amflow but with a better spec (GX AXS build) - very different bike clearly.

Hiding it's E-ness well:
