Totally forgot about that one! The Luna might be your best bet.

I think you'd have to build it yourself to keep the price at $2000. For that kind of range, you would want around 1,000 watt-hours of battery. If you want to cruise at 15 mph or so, and are in good shape, you could get by with less battery. Let's say you need 200 watts to maintain 15 mph...

Bulls Lacubo Evo 8 comes to mind. Also, the Evelo Aurora Limited and several Riese and Muller ebikes have belts but no throttles.

If you want an accurate heart rate, get a heart rate strap. LG used to make headphones that measured heart rate, I still have them but find them uncomfortable plus I don't like wearing in ear headphones on a long ride. There may be other options out there. I use the Garmin HRM-Run heart rate...

Have you emailed HPC? I've inquired about the Scout as well and they are very responsive. Email them with your planned usage and see what they recommend. I don't think you could go wrong with either bike though!

Where in upstate NY?

Survey complete!

I'd reach out to Grin Tech (https://www.ebikes.ca/) and see if they can put the necessary belt drive cog on a rear hub motor. I assume they can but I'm not familiar with the setup. They can also suggest a controller and battery based on your needs. Whatever you decide, let me know as I'm...

I've thought about purchasing a Priority 600 (https://www.prioritybicycles.com/products/the600) and electrifying it with a front or rear hub motor. It would be a super low maintenance bike. I would probably rather just buy a Watts Wagon though as it's pretty darn close and should be just as...

What size frame?

Where are you located? Which battery do you have? I think it came stock with the 814 wh but one could get the 983.

A large section of the North County Trailway was just repaved this past summer so it is in great shape. The Putnam portion is also in good condition. They've already paved part of the new path headed towards the river but the overpasses and such are still under construction. I expect they...

38 - The 31 mile North County and Putnam Trailway in Westchester and Putnam County NY (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/north-county-and-putnam-trailway) - this is currently being extended to meet up with the Walkway over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie and eventually will connect to...

I've hit two squirrels, one with my ebike at 30 mph and one on a gravel bike at ~40 mph while descending. With the ebike, I hit the back end of the squirrel with the front wheel and felt a bump but that was it. The gravel bike hit the mid section of the squirrel and splattered blood and guts...

The gas engine on a Chevrolet Volt is used to mechanically drive the wheels at certain points of operation. The only hybrid on the road currently in the U.S. where the gasoline engine is only used a generator is the BMW i3 REX as the range extender is only used to recharge the battery. All...

This has the 983 watt-hour battery right?

That's impressive. Love the ride up the escalator.

I think you have it right, it's simply waiting on the governor's signature. I know three people who ride ebikes in the city and haven't had issues but they don't have throttles (only PAS). You might want to remove your throttle to be safe? I ride a Class 3 in Westchester and Putnam counties...

I'm the opposite: Flew RC planes for years then got my pilots license in a 1946 Aeronca Champ. My instructor stated that I was a quick learner and I solo'd pretty quickly. He credited all of the RC hours and use of a flight sim with proper rudder pedals.

Yes, I should have been more clear. I'm averaging 150 watts of human power. And I agree, the cost of the chain isn't an issue, it's the time and mess of cleaning and lubing it.
