best ebike for ~£1ooo at the moment?

colleague is asking me as the designated office bike guy but i haven't really kept up with ebikes

is the Dawes Swift any good?

1500£ really is the min i would spend, as a mechanic I see loads of defunct cheaper electric bikes every month and honestly, £1500 is the min, certainly if you intend to use it for more than a few hundred miles. The cheaper stuff is often only suitable for gentle leisure use.

Fitted an Austrian kit called "add e" to a customers bike last week, its a few quid 850 of them, but is very well made and compact af, it's also very quiet and fits almost anything.

No way... does it spin the rear tire?

That’s pretty cool, do you think it would work with a studded tire? If it was £500 ish i’d Probably take a punt on it.

These 2 grand + ebikes are great but it’s bad enough with normal bikes getting stolen, you wouldn’t be able to leave them anywhere.
