Hi E-Bikers,
I was hoping for some help regarding which e-bike I should purchase. So far, my search has focused on Ride1Up and Espin so would love to hear about other options.
Requirements:
- Battery cannot stick out/be visible. I live in a high crime area (NYC) so want to minimize the electric look.
- Can't be to jumpy off the get go since the roads are busy (as some have mentioned Aventon is).
- I like the idea of it not being too scooter-like, and to have the option to actually feel like I'm peddling.
- Should be able to handle potholed city streets, but won't go off-road.
- Minimum range 20 - 25 miles
- Ideal weight is below 40lbs but would go up to 50/55lbs.
- I am 5,4 so crossbar cannot be too high, or there should be a step-through option.
- Budget: ideally below $1,500 - slightly flexible.
Any help/explanations about pros and cons would be incredibly helpful!
Thank you!
