Clearance for bigger tyres probably limiting

.

However, you think Vitus is a good brand?

Have nothing bad to say about it. You are largely paying for the Shimano Steps motor. It has a prefectly acceptable Shimano groupset with hydraulic brakes. The Vitus part is just the frameset and it is a bit of a tank.

It works for us, has good range and can take the battery off for charging inside. Been ridden 60-90 miles a week for 9 months now.

Possible downsides:
Likely want to change saddle and maybe the tyres.
Limited clearance, tyres can't go much bigger.
Mudguards needed an adapter at the back, otherwse OK to fit.
The handlebar and stem are one peice, if you need to change stem length, you'll need new bars too.

Wiggle also has this up, not all sizes.. no idea on spec.

Partner has the lower spec model, fit some mudguads (bit fiddly) and good to go... also paid much more than this.

Might be better than the UK distributor..

From the saddle in Jordan, condolences to anyone dealing with the UK weather last week.

Is the bag big enough and the camera light enough to comfortably support a Peak Designs capture clip on one side?

Wow! I’m moving back!

Don't move back, UK one is upto 50% off a few random items.. not sitewide 40%

Is this just straight up bonkers?

£1,300 for a Step powered ebike. About the same price as a bolt on kit.

Had my eye on these for a while but even with Welcome10 discount, pricey..

Is an Exposure Sirius Mk10 and Tracer a good combo for through the night riding?

It depends, Richmond Park, sure, dark country lanes, less so.

Anyone have anything bad to say about the Salsa EXP Anything Cradle?

Apart from being heavier than less rigid options it looks like lower faff, secure and out the way of mtb cables.

bicycle vs motorbike, mostly answered here... but maybe not completely comparable with a company like spesh.
