    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    Thanks AZOldTech. I thought for a while about whether to do the Ride1up kit or go aftermarket and eventually decided to just get the Ride1up rack and fenders, but it was a tough call. I finally just decided I wanted to have it as complete as possible when it showed up. Is there a trunk bag...

    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    Ok, I just pulled the trigger on a Ride1up 500 MTB. I actually emailed Kevin and he was gracious enough to give me a code for $80 off the new price, which almost takes it back to the original pricing. FYI, on the Ride1up About page you can get a code for $40 off if you pledge to replace two...

    Yet Another Budget (<$1k) E-bike Help Request!

    Yash, I agree with you. Personally, I would feel very nervous buying a used bike, especially online. If the Felt needed a new battery, that would be a large additional cost. If you’re knowledgeable about bikes (and e-bikes specifically) then the used option might make sense. For example, I’m...

Not good timing. I also noticed that Propella dropped the prices of...

    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    The Ride1up with Rack, fenders, and the upgraded computer is around 1250. The Aventon 350 would probably be $1100 with a rack and fenders. So for another $150 I'd be getting the 500W motor, 48V battery, and a front suspension. That doesn't sound like a bad deal, but I also don't know that I...

    Wow, yeah, the Pace 350 would seem to check all the boxes. Looks like I'll be hitting refresh on Aventon.com until it shows up :) I also was looking at the Rad City, but it's more that i'd like to spend.

    Looking to buy 1st ebike - $1200 range

    Hi All, I'm considering getting an ebike and looking for opinions. Here's what I am looking for: - bike for commuting: 10mi each way outside of Boulder, CO. Commute is somewhat hilly -- maybe 3-4% grade hill for the last mile or so. - part of the commute is on a soft surface path...
