    Is $800 a reasonable price for a beginner ebike?

    I understand the concerns with a lot of the fly by night ebikes available. Did look at Lectric. But another one that popped up is Buzz. Appears to be based in Dayton, Ohio. Does anyone have any experience with Buzz?

    How does a foldable ebike work on the beach?

    Thanks sc00ter. Curious about why a belt drive versus a chain drive. Didn't do any research on that yet. Is it just for rust?

    How does a foldable ebike work on the beach?

    Since this will be my first ebike and I don't plan to use it much, I'm going to take my chances on a cheap one off of Amazon. Anyone have any experience with the ActBest Mars or the Luckeep X1?

    How does a foldable ebike work on the beach?

    I'm actually in Ohio, but we do a lot of beach vacations in the Carolinas and Florida. I'd be using it there mostly for getting to out of the way beaches for shark tooth hunting.

    How does a foldable ebike work on the beach?

    Thanks Jeremy! I think a folder with 20" x 3" will work as well. I'm looking at 1000-1500 peak watts just to make sure there's a little extra power for pushing through the sand. I agree with you about driving through soft sand. Figured I would push it until I get to the packed or wet sand.

    How does a foldable ebike work on the beach?

    Hi folks! I'm considering an ebike for riding on the beach during vacations. A foldable ebike would work best for me (for travel). Most of the ebikes have 20" tires, and the majority of those have 3" wide tires. Just wondering if anyone has experience with ebikes with 20" x 3" tires riding on...
