New ebikers are often startled by PAS (Pedal Assist System) at first, and this reaction seems stronger if folks are older or have slower reaction time. My dad, for example, prefers not to use PAS at all. He uses his throttle to get the level of assist he wants, completely predictably and...

I sure do! In my family we all love our ebikes, for sure!

How about the 28" Pedego City Commuter step-thru? It would definitely work for you, maybe for your wife, if she is long-legged and short-waisted? She'd have to try and see. If you have a Pedego store near you they can let you know if they have one to try. BTW, I have no connection to Pedego...

Most cycling gloves I've seen don't have leather--I have three pair ... no leather in sight... :) Happy shopping!

"Best" will always be in the eye of the beholder. :)

Juiced just reported this thread for containing posts with dangerous advice. I have removed those posts and am closing the thread to further comments.

My geared hub is pretty darned quiet. I noticed that fatbikes are very noisy--I wonder if some of this is tire noise?

I suggest you take that bike right back to the store for them to take a look at. It might be defective?

As for caring that it looks like an ebike? Well, I did think the Faraday ebikes were very pretty, but that non-ebike-look means a smaller battery, a smaller motor, so less range, less power. I didn't want that. Each cyclist has to decide what matters to them. I suggest test-riding bikes that...

I have a Pedego Interceptor, too. The main comment I get is "cute bike". Bikes with downtube batteries are huge and bulky, so not "cute" anymore...

My 17 year old and my 60 year old both have step-throughs. :) S has a Pedego Interceptor and H has a Pedego City Commuter. Both are very happy with their bikes. :) Step-throughs aren't "ladies" bikes any more! Do test ride the bikes you are considering, as "step through" can mean a variety of...

Not for a long time--a few times back in Spring/Summer 2018, but not since then. I have over 4,000 on my ebike. These days, if road bikers say anything, they say "great day for cycling" or something like that. The snark seems to have disappated...

I wonder if there is any interest in re-titling this thread, since the TREK super commuters appear to be available?

Hey, Mike, I just read the whole thread, and everyone is sharing their own perspective, just like you did. I do appreciate your perspective. And I have my own perspective. :) Your thread has started an interesting discussion. Ebiking is amazing. I would never trade back to conventional...

I love ebiking. It has transformed my commuting and recreation. I have a different perspective on conventional cycling. I was never a road biker. During many periods of my life, cycling was both transportation and fun. I grew up in a valley area, where, my bike was both transportation and fun...

This is the type that comes on my bike. Sounds like I need a junk box to adorn with mine! ;)

Marci Jo, Yippeee!!! It's a grand thing! :)

This is what I have. :) I won't tell you which elastomers I am using because a girl has to have some secrets!

A hub drive bike with a geared hub is, I believe, going to mean less maintenance and higher reliability for your 75 miles a week of commuting. Just my two cents. :)

My bike came with a low-end suspension seatpost that's okay, but I got some birthday $$ and decided to get a Thudbuster for my Pedego Interceptor. My local bike mechanic recommended it and gave me a terrific price. I really like it. It has "elastomer" inserts of various stiffness/elasticity, and...
