    could use some advice on my first e-bike

    I live up a full flight of stairs, it's my body width plus one arm length in width, and has a rather small landing. I've got enough to place the bike or maneuver it once I'm inside the apartment. If that helps.

    As close to the 5th as possible, I get some extra money then and I NEED the transportation. I understand the difference, that it's about more than electrical wattage, that's simple physics, what I do need to know though is if I get a lower wattage in a geared system, what is it's gearless...

    Yeah but the easy motion series doesn't have a 500 watt motor. As for the Stromer yeah I did consider it, it was my original choice but everyone seems to think it will be too heavy.

    well...the decision is made me thinks. An upgraded Dash. I only have one last question. Have any of you dash owners had electrical trouble from riding in the rain? (possibly quite heavy rain, this is florida)

    For the ladies: Diamond or step through?

    Interesting. I'd prefer a really cute step through if I weren't worried about weight. I love the look of riding with a maxi skirt or something. It's just too cute.

    For the ladies: Diamond or step through?

    Hey! Just curious what everyone's thoughts are. Diamond frames or step through/low step? Mostly because I thought it would be a fun little poll but also because I haven't ridden in ages and never wore a skirt or dress while doing so.

    Upgrading Brakes?

    you see that's a thing i don't want to have to do though, adjusting things. I know next to nothing about bicycles and bicycle maintenance. Will I learn? Sure, but I have work and go to a school that regularly puts people in the psychiatric unit due to the amount of stress it puts on it's...

    Upgrading Brakes?

    ok so wait, are you saying the breaks and the levers aren't a kit? I'm willing to upgrade the whole thing for the brakes i want

    Upgrading Brakes?

    I've noticed that tektro makes a hydraulic brake, would these work?

    Upgrading Brakes?

    Lol when i was thinking about the grace i had read someone had done that with a bosch motored bike, right up the stairs. Yeah the Stromer was just about the perfect bike for me but if I can't carry it up the stairs it's only going to be the perfect bike for one ride.

    Upgrading Brakes?

    Ok so I think I've finally decided on buying the IZIP E3 dash. I'm wanting to use a little bit of the money I'll save from not buying a Stromer to have the shop do a few upgrades. I really want the hydraulic brakes that every other bike seems to have. Can anyone give me their thoughts on what...

    Thank you all so much. You probably kept me from spending more than I needed to. I'm thinking of ordering the dash from NYCE wheels and asking them if they can fit the breaks I want to it for me along with some sort of seat post suspension. That would make me a happy camper. Yeah, it won't look...

    Naw, while it kind of feels like you're discouraging me, I'm glad you are, I'd never have thought of the Stromer weight issue and would have brought it home only to fight to get it up the stairs. I'm really glad that was brought up. This way I know DEFINITELY not to get the a2b, most likely not...
