    What do you think about Zugo ?

    Ariel Rider has one of the if not most powerful motors in market. Also drive train, brakes all parts are better including display. Zugo offers less value.

    Thoughts on Ride1Up and Similar eBikes

    I got my Ariel Rider C-Class 2 days ago. So far I only made 40+ miles. Motor is very powerful. I can climb steep hills without an issue. Also unlike Bosch motors it has throttle. This wasn't very important for me but I appreciate having it. It has hydraulic brakes, internal gear hub, Suspension...

    Rad Rover Step Thru or Blix Aveny

    From the bikes you want to get, I understand you will use it for commuting. So my advice is stay away from direct drive motors. They are fun as have no internal gears but they aren't efficient and not good at hills. Also they are very heavy. If you can afford, better buy something with...

    Is a 20" wheel bike too small for 6"2'?

    For such folding e-bike you better test ride first. As something comfortable for someone can't be comfortable for you. I am very comfortable on my road bicycle but my husband can't stand that riding position more than 5 minutes. If you want up-rite riding position I feel it will be little bit...

    Need some real world Advice

    I can suggest Ariel Rider C-Class. It has throttle, mid motor and very comfortable to ride. Seatpost suspension doesn't have a huge travel so you can upgrade it with something of higher end like suntour. I think court covered in some of his videos. I am thinking to upgrade it. But other than...
