Last night I slept at my parents house and this morning I woke up at 5 am and got dressed and then rode the ebike home.
I remembered to start Strava part way into the ride so I have a fairly accurate summary of my effort today! I rode 22.06 Miles in 1 hour 31 minutes and climbed 1357 ft. I also managed the whole ride on full power on the new battery so the old one definitely has lost a bit of charge over the years.
The first half of the ride was in pitch black so was pretty boring but the sun was up for the second half so was much nicer. And on Full power the ride was pretty easy to be fair!
I think with an emtb it will be much better as there are some rough bits that on the Pure Flux One are one shaking will be fine on the emtb!
Other than all the bumps, The fact I have at least 2 broken spokes on the rear wheel at the moment and the fact that the rear hub slips on really steep climbs when I put a lot of power down the Pure is pretty good for the commute. Especially the belt drive which I love as it is zero maintenance.
Once I get my flat sold and the emtb that I am buying on the cycle-to-work scheme at the moment is mine (after 2 years I think) I may invest in a belt drive emtb then I can have minimal maintenance on the emtb as well.
I have decided that I will go to the bike shop and see what emtb’s I can get for the £3000 that is the max my work will allow on the cycle to work scheme and there are not very many full sus bikes that fall into that price range! If the limit was £500 more then there would be a lot more so as per my work have half arsed a benefit 🙁
