I was so nervous going down hills when I first got my e-bike! I'd sing in my head Fleetwood Mac 'You can go your own pace!' and just go as slow as I felt comfortable with. Apply the breaks gently and always look where you want to go when going around a corner. Good luck!

Try maintaining your balance by using the attack position (Google it) which spreads your weight evenly between the front and back wheels and use both front and back brakes at the same time. If you are still skidding it may be time to change to some grippier tyres

I have a fairly heavy cargo bike and when I first bought it I had a scare like this, I now go a lot slower on hills, brake gently but often to control my speed. I used to be worried about annoying people in cars cause I was going slowly but honestly, 30 seconds longer to ensure your safety is nothing. Also when you break try to shift your weight back and not forwards, it will help the back wheels stay in contact with the road

When I want inspiration to head out on a solo ride I choose somewhere I would like to have a picnic. I check the map, plan a route using quiet lanes, pack some food and head out on a mini adventure.

I actually have all 4 of my bikes insured separately. The E-bike is worth over £2,000 is insured by a specific company Bikmo, the hybrid bike as you say I had to declare on my flats contents insurance as it's over £800, the e-mountain bike which was retro fitted is living at my parents house so has been declared & included on their contents policy as an individual item worth £1,500, my old road bike which lives upstairs in my flat on the indoor trainer is covered on my contents as it's only worth about £330 to replace.
