A new e bike rider with 400 miles on my Propella 9S Pro V2. I'm very happy with the bike and ride mostly in analog mode using the battery mostly for some of Seattle's challenging hills. I have not run my battery below a 30% charge, and normally keep it at 60% - 80% charge. I am planning some...

I can ride my C9 V2 with no hands. Yes, there is bit of wobble when I do that but I'm 75 and any bike under me will wobble a bit when I ride handless at my age!

That Voya E+1 is certainly a nice looking bike & light @ 39 lbs. I could see it as a nice ride for someone who wants a dropped bars. The Kinect suspension parts add about 3 lbs (I did put on lighter seat). With the seat & front wheel off (has quick release thru axle) & battery removed, it...

Just curious: are your two 9S V2s are step through or step over frame?. I can ride my step thru no hands. Admittedly it wobbles a bit but then I'm 75 years old! It will be interesting to what Rad's light weight bike is like and how much it weights. Their current line definitely tends to be...

I now have 250 miles on my 9S Pro V2, I have not sensed a wobble. Kinect Suspension seat post (available thru multiple outlets including Propella) & Kinect Suspension stem smooth things out quite well. I rarely used battery, instead pedal 90% of the time, it does get me over some very steep...

I always add a bit of kit to my bike. The Propella C9 V2 pro was quite comfy from the factory but these items are like icing on the cake! - For comfort: Kinect Suspension seatpost & stem, reused a lighter, very comfy saddle I had on my carbon road bike, and Ergon G3 grips with 3 finger...

I realize that this question was originally posted 4 yrs ago and that the OP has probably moved on. Yet this seems to be an appropriate place to provide "Propella Owner Feedback. As a 75 yr old, life long casual bike rider, the hills of Seattle were becoming a deterrent to riding. I decided it...

Yes that is a huge advantage and definitely was a factor in my purchase. I refuse to ride a bike I can't test ride. I drove 3 hours to test the runner up Velotric T1-ST.! And I certainly didn't want to get a bike shipped to my home, put it together, discover it wasn't the right bike, then have...

I just purchased a Propella C9 V2 Pro. The bike is pretty comfortable out of the box with it's 2" wide tires. But being 75, riding the mean streets of Seattle, and some easy single track trails, comfort is a high priority to me. Toward that end I purchased a Kinect XR suspension seatpost and...

I had Redshift Stopshock seatpost & stem on my analog Specialized Sirrus Carbon Comp for 3 years. I did help smooth out the rough Seattle roads. I just purchased a Propella C9-V2 Pro ebike and installed Kinect XR Seatpost & 30 degree stem. I think the Kinect isolates better and doesn't have...

I spent 3 months researching for a light weight (under 45 lbs), dual purpose (road, trails) ebike under $2,000 that I could fit into the back of my Kia Niro. After riding 4 bikes (Aventon Soltera.2, Trek Dual Sport +2, Velotric T1 ST & Propella C9 V2 Pro). All had similar specs in terms of...

Thanks for all the suggestions. After riding the Velotric T1 S1, I made my decision. The T1-S1 is a very nice bike but had the shifting was a bit clunky, there was some resistance while coasting, and I preferred having a screen (rather than using my phone). The Propella C9 V2 Pro was the only...

Yes, the Vado SL is a wonderful bike & used cost could make it affordable. In fact, there was a lightly used 2023 Vado SL 5.0 just sold on the local Facebook marketplace for $1,900 in a couple hours, basically $3K below MSRP. That was a rare bird & it was the wrong size for me. I have a hard...

I'm 75 yr old, 170 lb, 5' 7" guy in moderately good shape. But riding more than 20 miles, especially in hilly NW WA, is becoming challenging. Currently I ride a 2018 Specialized Sirrus Carbon Comp with Redshift stem & seat suspension which is a really sweet ride! I'm looking for an Ebike that...
