On this video at about the 7 minute mark the rider compares the Rad Rover to a Giant LaFree climbing a hill from a dead stop.

The Aventon Pace 500 was my runner up and I liked even with no assist. I ended up getting a Giant LaFree E+2 which is $1,999. It is also a step thru and very comfortable but doesn't have a throttle and with back problems you might want to have one on occasion. I thought I did too until I tried...

I've only ridden the Pace 500 step thru, and it was very upright. It weighs about 49 pounds compared to the Level which I believe weighs about 10 pounds more. I could have tried the Level but the extra weight put me off. My knees seem to take turns being less stable which makes a heavier step...

BTW, I got an Giant LaFree E+2 (https://electricbikereview.com/giant/lafree-e-plus-2/). I'm glad I took my time.

The Koda 3.0 that I tried out was with a dealer in Santa Clara, California when I was visiting one of my brothers. He had different ebike brands including E-Joe and Magnum and Surface 604. He told me he preferred the E-Joe since he had fewer problems with them than the Magnums. He hadn't been...

I didn't have any dealers within an hour's drive that carried the Ride 1 up, so I didn't get a chance. Both the Level and Ride 1 up are much heavier than the Aventon, and when I was trying out ebikes, I much preferred lighter. The Aventon Pace 500 checks in at 49 pounds while the Level and Ride...

Here is a review of the Koda 3.0 https://electrek.co/2019/05/26/e-joe-koda-3-0-electric-mountain-bike-review/, the one in EBR is an older version with a smaller, less powerful motor. If you don't think you will be doing much riding in hilly areas, an Aventon Pace 350 at $1,099 might work for...

I test rode a seafoam green one and decided I preferred the blue without actually seeing one. The blue is beautiful. Just fairly short rides so far to get the feel of it and I love it. Actually prefer not having a display, just enjoying the ride.

Hi Nat, There is no telling when the Jade will be available, especially with all that is going on. What if it takes you 6-12 months to actually get one, and you haven't even tried out? I tried out a lot of ebikes (new and used) before I made my decision and it helped me figure out what I liked...

Look what followed me home.

I have a non electric belt drive with a IGH and works great in town where I can't go more than a couple of blocks without a stop light or sign, but I can't climb even moderate hills with my bad knees. On the flats it is great and no maintenance worries. It does require letting off a bit when...

Giant LaFree E+1 at $2400 might work for you. It doesn't have front suspension, but it works for me an I'm an oldster.

I certainly paid attention to your posts, thank you.

Put my deposit on a LaFree E+2 today with a bike shop that just deals with e-bikes. I kept hearing browneye whispering that the dealer was just as important as the bike. The bike will be ready in about a week as they didn't have my size and color that I wanted ready to go, but the have one at...

Turns out it is 2.8 times, not 2.5 which makes it equal to a 42 tooth front, so the very lowest gear is 32 inches a little bit higher than I like normally but it probably won't be a big deal with the power assist. But it will add a bit of drag when not using the assist, something I'll need to...

What did you decide? I'm looking at a Espin Reine and a bike store about 50 miles away has one this week.

I tried out the Pace 500 and the store that I tried it out on had fenders and rack for $100 total. Living in Oregon, fenders are a necessity. I did like the light weight on the Pace and avoided trying out the Level because of its weight. The Pace was easy to ride without the assist and I didn't...

Now if it would stop raining, so I could go try it out.
