Hi there,

I am a 28 yo spanish male. Played D1 soccer in the USA. Sport has been always present in my life at a high level. I broke my knee right before my last year of college.

After I graduated, the mix of office work, sendentary life and bad knee has taken me to gain too much weight and lose that love for being fit. I am getting back to it after a few years, and I am feeling like riding the bike. I am thinking about an e-MTB, since where I live in Spain you can find so many routes and ride so many kms it is actually crazy. I am kinda new to this so wondering if anyone knew good bikes to atsrta with. My favs are:

- Rockrider E-EXPL 7000 (Deacthlon) (650 kwh) - 25 kgs (2.100€)

- Focus Vam² SL 8.7 2024 (450kwh) - 19 kgs (2.500€)

My badget can be around €2.500.

I will start just getting regular rides, getting kilometers on my legs and swloly getting better in terms of confidence and fitness. My plan is to able to make about 100kms through road and mountain.

Also, do you think it might be a better idea to just get a regulat MTB instead? They are cheaper and at the end of the day, I am still very young and will get fit very quickly. For the money for a regular ebike, I could get much better regular MTB. Regarding road bike. I do not foresee doing it in the near future, as I belive it is quite dangerous... amd probably wanting to be a dad pretty soon.

Please feel free to send me the bikes you liked / used when you got into riding!

Thanks all!
