Hello, I am in the market for a new ebike that can handle a long and hilly daily commute to work. I've tested out a few bikes at my LBS, and was enjoying the mid-drive Bosch performance CX system and its climbing ability ((Link Removed - No Longer Exists)- a MTB setup, but I would convert it to...

And now I've recently been turned on to the Bionx systems too... I did like the initial feel of the mid-drive, though I'm liking the Bionx D500 power and reliability for my long commute. Lots of good choices and I'm glad I'm taking my time and trying out a bunch of bikes before I pull the...

Cool, thanks. I may wait a bit to test-ride some Sduros when they arrive and see how they feel.

I thought the SL was identical to the RC, but with a lower spec'd componentry (deore vs XT). Does it not also have the dual chainring up front? Now that I look back at the specs on the website (the Euro one, which may be spec'd slightly different than the US... But I'd be getting the US version...

Thanks, I appreciate the info! I will definitely try out a few test hills to find out what cadence I most prefer... I do know that a higher cadence (around 90 rpm) does reduce muscle fatigue over long distances, but it may be a moot point since one doesn't need to "push" too hard in a lower...

Hmm, interesting. I do usually like to pedal at a higher cadence when climbing to reduce fatigue, though I can't say I've ever measured how many rpms I like to go at... I'll have to try measuring that. I wonder why Yamaha decided to go that way with their motor? I may have to hop back on that...

Hi, thanks for your reply. Do you feel you get the same amount of assistance from Yamaha on long hill climbs in a low gear? When I tried the Bosch I did like how it felt climbing in a low gear- like as long as the pedals were moving it was powering me up. I've heard that the Yamaha loses power...

Cube Reaction Hybrid HPA Pro 400: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Haibike SDuro Trekking SL: https://www.haibike.com/de/de I would be setting up the Cube as a commuter/trekking bike, with fenders, a rear rack, and more urban tires (I would prefer the 29er version so I could put 700c tires...

Greetings, I am in the market for a new ebike. After much online research, looking through these forums, and trying out some bikes at my local shop, I think I could use some experienced opinions from the ebike community. I have a long bicycle commute to work, and there are lots of hills at...
