I would go with Ariel Rider C-Class . Rear rack is part of the frame which is welded so their website claims to carry upto 300 lbs and also has front rack. As i know recently they have some clearance sales for $1500 . The motor is pretty powerful which is same motor with pedego or bh...

I would choose none but as you bought then have a happy ride.

Then cruisers or upright dutch style bikes are good for you. I will still advise choose a bike with strong brand. Don't go with bafang motors . Pedego, Some of Yuba bikes, Ariel Rider are good options. Check each one as they must have discounts right now . Vintage electric is an awesome...

I think Ariel Rider C-class fit for your requirements. Their rear rack is integrated into the frame so can carry a heavy load. Also has a very nice front rack with some bungee ropes to fix things you carry + cup holder for coffee. And as i know they use the same Dapu motor like Pedego and...

As much as i know it comes with other colors too. And they also have Brose versions as i checked the video on youtube. I know they offer 40% discount recently for new year. So can be a good time to buy if want one.

I am a big fan of Dapu motors. Tried several brands like o2, Ariel Rider, BH. All were very responsive, fast . I always feel hubs are more fun to ride. If you want to use it like a mtb then mid drive is better. For service mid-drives are easier just more compact. But if a bike store is...

Yeah first thing i was advised in Netherlands was, if you hit a cyclist at best you will be 50% guilty and in most cases 100% guilty.

Thats a fast bike and love the feeling . My only issue is, it is very heavy for a folding bike. Which takes portability element of folding bike. Then i wonder why i need to have a folding bike other than having a small car with limited loading space. (in this case it can be useful to have a...

I have lived there for sometime and i can say i am not surprised. 1- Infrastructure is suitable for bicycles. 2- Having car over there is expensive and not convenient (hard to find parking lots and expensive, always traffic jam, bicycles - pedestrians have priority) For selling more e-bikes...

Yeah without trying you can never know . Also check the battery condition as it must have a dated battery. Replacement can cost lots fyi

I think don't make sense to import from Alibaba for personal use. You can never forecast the import costs and duties. Second after sales will be a big issue. If battery or motor has one missing document you will face lots of problems and headache which also means $$$. That bike can cost in...

radrover for sure.

Good. Which brands are coming ?

If i have to earn that power by pedaling that harder, then i question what is the use of having an electric bike. In high pedal assist mode i prefer not to have difficulty climbing uphill. The system can be sophisticated but sometimes perfection comes from simplicity. In low pas modes if...

I will prefer torque sensor especially if you don't have throttle. Not only for comfort reason also safety. In certain cases where you need to accelerate suddenly cadence won't serve well for you. You will depend on your legs but in torque sensor it is possible to get extra boost from motor...
