Hello to All!
I am joining you from sunny southwest Arizona and a new eBike owner. I'm an old guy, now retired, and a long time road biker. I raced a little in my youth and over the years have ridden the local tours many times. But age and arthritis have made riding less fun and more work. After riding a few rental eBikes and much on-line research, I decided to buy my first eBike.
I settled on a Class 1 lightweight BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Sport Two, with a Shimano E6100 mid-motor, aluminum frame, Shimano 105 equipment, and 30mm tires. I think of it a "trek" bike. Not quite a road bike or a gravel grinder, but perfect for riding around the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. With it's light weight, agility and response, it is fun to ride. The power assist is torque controlled, so it's just like riding a normal bike with new joints and stronger legs!
Best regards!
