This competitively priced ebike has plenty to offer

ESTARLI E20.8 PLAY

Electric bikes are handy on tour. Whether it’s nipping to the village shop or cycling to the beach, an ebike is a convenient way to get around. A good ebike isn’t cheap, though. A new Brompton folder will set you back at least £2995, while the GoCycle range starts from £3399. There are much cheaper options, but quality can be questionable.

British brand estarli splits the difference between high-end ebikes and the cheap, sometimes cheerless end of the market. The firm promises quality machines at relatively affordable prices, with a range of folding and non-folding ebikes starting from the £1095 mark.

That buys you the e16, with 16-inch wheels and a single gear. We’ve been riding the £1850 e20.8 Play, which comes with 20-inch wheels and eight gears.
