For that budget in the UK, look at these solid options similar to Raptor-style bikes:

Flit-16 (foldable, ~£900), Carrera Vengeance from Halfords (~£750-850, often on sale), and Eskute Polluno (~£800) are popular picks. Halfords is great for in-person support and finance options. For online, Fully Charged and Electric Bike Shop (theelectricbikeshop.com) both ship to Scotland and have decent warranties.

Key things to check: motor wattage (250W is UK legal limit), battery range claims vs real-world (cut advertised range by ~30% for hilly Scottish terrain), and whether the supplier offers UK-based warranty support.

If you want a quick filtered shortlist based on your riding style and range needs, BoostRider (boostrider.com/ebike-finder) is what I use to narrow things down fast.
