I have zero use for a banana seat cruiser e-bike with ape hangers, but man do I WANT one. I think it's the Ed Roth fan in me. :)

I think this is where things get lost in translation. :) The idea of governing speed, as I understand it (and Ken can correct me if I'm wrong) :) is that once you hit approx 20mph, the motor gradually lowers the amount of assist until you hit 25-28mph. This is all based on level surfaces and...

For their uses, I'd agree with @RunForTheHills that the Brompton Electric is a good idea, though pricy. GoCycles are another lightweight, but pretty expensive option that can be taken just about anywhere, but they also have a rear pannier accessory. One option for urban commuting that's worth...

Here ya go...

Just wanted to update this... I LOVE my new seat roll. I had a couple of good old seat bags for essentials (Specialized and Topeak), but they both included velcro loops to attach around the seat post. Normally this is fine, but now that I have a suspension seat post, they just didn't work. I...

You could always look to Qualisports.us as a possible starting point. A number of those bikes have the batteries in fat seat tubes. Most are 36V, but i think they have a 48V as well. It would probably require some modding to lose the saddle clamp to reduce length. As an aside, I've seen...

I've an old Raleigh 2-in-1 (large hand pump with flip outs for floor use) that's worked for years on my bikes with smaller tires, but since it's an option, I'll take battery power for the 4" tires. :)

I spent a bit of time looking at reviews of various battery pumps. It wasn't the BEST reviewed, but well-reviewed, and relatively inexpensive - about $60 Canadian this past spring, though it ended up being a birthday present (how fitting since she got it for me, and it was her tire we needed it...

I LOVE my li-ion powered air pump. I have a Cycplus A2 which is pretty lightweight, and will fill a 20x4 fat tire in under 3 minutes, with air to spare (with a user-selectable cutoff point for PSI). Since I'm not riding a fat tire any more, I don't carry it, but when my SO is riding with me on...

They're definitely fun to ride, and pretty well suit your purposes. I'd say don't even worry about rear suspension on a fat folder. I have both a rear hub fat folder, and a mid-drive e-bike with a Shimano motor. While I MUCH prefer the mid-drive overall, the fat folder is more convenient for...

I wouldn't have an issue with the police having de-restricted e-bikes, so they could get speed in emergency situations. A throttle would also make sense for those high-speed chases - you know, Uber Eats riders gone amok :D

Though I like the idea of a mid-drive fat folder, Lectric or Rad are probably a safer bet from a support point of view. I'd also recommend Rize Bikes as a brand. They've offered good support for our bikes over the past couple of seasons, and their new Bolt X looks WAY more refined than most fat...

Road apples are an all too common problem here, since Toronto still loves its mounted police. We have a twirl/point hand gesture to point out hazards on the trail/bike lane that is largely used for them.

This video was posted on the 4th page of the above thread... he goes through the process pretty clearly. Just make sure you know which diameter you're dealing with at the beginning (probably 25.6mm but measure to be sure). :)

You might want to browse the Lectric XP forum as well... in particular this thread. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/bmxd-my-lectric-xp.35882/ Edit to add: I don't own a Lectric XP, but it seems that because the bike is very inexpensive a lot of users have taken it on themselves...

I can't speak to the issues with your Gio, but just an observation: here in Toronto, I see far more delivery people on e-bikes, as opposed to e-scooters. The two most popular delivery bikes that I see are the NCM Moscow and the Amego EV bikes probably account for about 20-25% of the delivery...

This is almost TOO true.

Oh no worries. I'm just acutely aware because every month or so a friend of mine keeps going back and forth on looking at the Vado SL and sending me links (it would be his first e-bike, and he's a Specialized fanboy).

All that weight saving, then they go and add a few grams of paint? CRAZY! :D

Going all the way back to the first post, @timacn , have you considered EBR's recommendation of best all round city bike? https://ohmcycles.com/products/quest https://electricbikereview.com/best-city-electric-bikes/
