Hello,
I'd like to start a new build, but I can't decide on the bike frame. My current ebike is a hard tail with a front suspension mountain bike and has served me well for commuting to work, while getting a bit of exercise . However my hub motor (Crystalyte) is starting to go, so I have an excuse to start on a new build
For this build, I've been considering getting a good quality full suspension DH bike like a Kona Stinky for commuting to work, and also use it on some easy mtb trails. But I'm concerned that a full suspension bike, maybe too soft and not practical for a daily commuter and i'll lose out in getting some exercise.
The other direction is to go back to what I know(which is road bikes) and get a hybrid cycle-cross for urban commuting.
