Been into mecca (decathlon for us) looking for a hybrid for my other half to start cycling
Been looking at the elyops 3, or the original hybrid 3
Anyone had these or know anyone who uses one

My girlfriend bought the elops 3 black with the pannier rack a couple of weeks ago and fitted a front basket too.
She's really pleased with it. It's a very upright comfortable seating position, and the 6 gears help with the hills although anything steep she'll still get off and walk! The elops 1 doesn't have any gears so for the extra Β£20 it seems a lot better value. Chunky tyres make for a comfortable ride. The dynamo on the front works fine although not the brightest of lights, the rear light is battery powered integrated with the reflector and under the pannier rack. It's a little bit heavy if you need to carry it but you don't notice when cycling it. Build quality is good and it feels sturdy. We went out for a 10 mile day trip with her on it last weekend and went along nicely. Comfy saddle meant no problems after! All in pretty good value for the money I think, quite a lot of bike for Β£169.
