I stored my ebike with a charged battery over the winter and it was fine. It is an Espin Sport, 500 watt hub motor.

You might want to consider the Espin Nero with 750 watt nominal motor, well made rear hub, fat tire, it is easy to mount with step thru design and would fit you. It is a big bike, about 75 lbs. fat tires, suspension fork, but no worries if you will not be carrying it upstairs. Good battery...

Espin Flow is a well equipped bike that would seem to meet your needs. Espin says they are available to ship. I have the similar Espin Sport. Quality bike, no issues. Would fit both of you.

Lectric told us every bike is keyed uniquely. My daughter thought she lost her keys. I ordered blanks from Lectric then she found her keys. Lectric said without original key you need a key blank and locksmith to cut a new key.

We have an Espin Nero. Similar except battery is exposed and 1 step through style. It's suspension fork has 100 mm travel. Similar weight. 4 inch tires. 750 w/1000 w peak motor. Comes with fenders, hydraulic brakes, color display, locking grips. Cost now $1499. We got ours for introductory price...

Another option for your grandchildren for activities unrelated to phones and electronics is Scouts. I am a scout volunteer and one great thing is having young people appreciate nature and develop outdoor and life skills. All are welcome. As for you, given your knee issues I would favor a hub...

Chosing a bike is a very individual choice. A lot depends on size, use, what you are willing to pay, etc. If you can it would be best to try riding some - rental or bike shop but you seem to have neither close by. My suggestion is a popular e bike, very versatile and fairly inexpensive --the...

Like the review. I think there are a lot of improvements. I like the 3 inch wheels, wider handlebars and suspension fork. It will sell.

I have several e bikes. One is an Lectric xp step thru. My 21 yo 5'4" daughter rides it. The Lectric xp is a very versatile bike. It can fit a wide range of riders. It is adjustable and the step thru is approachable for shorter riders and riders with mobility issues. By most accounts it is...

I once saw something similar at a bike store. Store let customer test drive bike without holding his ID. He never returned from his test drive.

We have an Espin Sport, an Espin Nero and a Ride1up 500. I like the Espin Sport I bought in 2020 but it can go faster than 20 mph. The Nero is heavier and is a fat tire bike but it is also step thru, and has a more powerful motor 750/1000 watts. Ours came with rack, lights, fenders, etc. The...

That remark is offensive. What the poster was saying is that under Federal law, discussed in another thread, an electric bike that reaches speeds of more than 20 miles an hour on throttle alone does not meet the Federal definition of an e bike. And such bikes cannot be legally sold in the US...

CpSC is the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission. In a nutshell to summarize, the argument is Federal government sets safety standards for what bikes including what e bikes can be sold in the US. Preemption means states cannot act on matters where the Federal government has acted. Further...

I think there are a few full size folders. I think Sondors has at least one. I do not know how hard they may be to transport. Maybe you could also take off the front wheel of a larger bike and put it in the back of your vehicle for transport rather than get a rack. My daughter has an Lectric...

Lot of options. Suggest a step thru. Hub motor cadence bike so it gives more assistance. Aventon has various sized frames and you might get bike shop support. If you just want a cheaper bike to get around, you might consider a $900 Lectric step thru - my daughter has one. Very adjustable and...

My hybrid acoustic bike was sold with knobby tires. It slipped out from under me on wet leaves on bike path. The bike store suggested I get non knobby road tires for better traction on pavement. I did. So much better. Road tires make better contact with pavement.

I feel I have a lot of control on the level of assist on the Espin Sport and Ride1up 500 with the many levels of PAS plus shifting. I find it fairly smooth. I really like having a throttle to take off from a stop especially at intersections.

Not what you asked but why not get her a hub motor with 55 w or 750 w or more power that gives more assisrance with less work from her.

I would say reduce your choices to bikes with smaller frames that would fit you. For example while you might fit on an Espin Flow 17 inch frame step thru, I think the Espin Sport and Ride1 up non step thru's will be too big. A lot of people like the Rad bikes. Espin has a 20 inch tire fat step...

I do not ride my bike to its possible top range. Certainly 30 miles or more. I think range would depend on your weight and the terrain. I think Sport may be longer range since it is a lighter bike. Yes you can change the batteries easily. Just unlock with key and lift out.Extra batteries kind of...
