Advice on Electric Mountain Bike

Iv been looking at EMB, and spend max £2000.
The bike I looked at is the Cube Acid and Access, in the 400 or 500.
Now for purchase am I better buying from shop, or buy online. ? Im thinking aftercare and maintenance as Im no expert and I always find I get better aftercare from a shop.
Any recommendations of good suppliers, at moment I currently live in London, but will be moving to Scotland.

I'd buy at a shop. You will need warranty coverage. Battery or controller issues not good out on your own.

Can you buy on-line from a Scottish supplier that has a bricks & mortar location?
