I would factor in a hybrid/EV that has an OEM or aftermarket 2" hitch capability. I would also double check the tongue weight of the hybrid/EV to make sure the +50lbs ebike+rack isn't exceeding that (usually 10% of max tow weight). You will have a lot more selection of platform racks in the 2"...

I'm old school and I don't run out of gas in my vehicles and don't run out of power when riding my ebikes.

I have a pump for the center suspension and forks I keep in the rack bag. I set the center shock to around 275 psi and around 100 psi for the front forks. I also have the suspension seatpost and Cloud-9 cruise seat with springs along with the 4.8" fat tires set to around 30 psi. Very comfy...

I'm 6'3", size 14 shoe, +325lbs (+350lbs with rack bag , commuter backpack, gear/tools, water/lunch, etc...), and very long arm (6'10" wing span). I just upgraded my 2016 Radrover 4" fat tire 750w rear hub to a 4.8" Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w mid-drive full suspension 20 Ah battery 10 speed tq...

The salt water would be my main concern; unless, you are planning to hit a mix of fresh water spots also. I have two fat tire ebikes (4" Radrover 750w cadence sensor rear hub & 4.8" Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w tq sensor mid-drive). Rear hub with throttle is the way to go for casual riding and you...

Just normal underarm deo and chap stick only before a ride. I don't use sun block because I wear UV clothing, gloves, helmet, eyewear, and bike shorts or spandex (to knees when warm/hot, full length in cold weather). I never really had a good sniffer for faint smells and it isn't nearly as...

The specs of the A7 Pro sound like it was worth the purchase. I would have waited if I knew the A7 was just around the corner. Enjoying my Cobra Pro also!

I upgraded from a 2016 Radrover to a full suspension Himiway Cobra Pro for improved off road capabilities. The 400lbs max weight, 20Ah battery, hydraulic brakes, and 1000w/160Nm M620 mid-drive were a big bonus over my Radrover (275lbs max weight, 11.4Ah, cable brakes, 750w/80Nm rear hub).

Padded shorts and long sleeve UV bright color riding shirts are my go-to.

I wear my MTB specific shoes, long sleeve UV biking shirt, and gel padded gloves for all types of riding (always eye protection and helmet). I only wear my elbow and knee pads when riding single track. Northwave MTB Escape shoes: G-Form Pro-X Elbow and knee pads. Pretty comfy to wear on...

I don't use my throttle that much. Most of the times I use my throttle are to supplement my pedal power for faster acceleration (Example: 0-20 mph max speed across an 4-6 lane intersections) or a little extra power near the crest of a very steep hill crest. The throttle did save me from walking...

I'm a 365 days a year ebiker living in the USA southwest. It is usually sunny and dry with mid day temps above freezing in winter. I don't ride during rain, snow, or icy conditions (probably about 10-12 days a year). My riding days actually increased with an ebike compared to my old pedal...

No issues with charging at home and I have a extra charger at work to top off if needed. I sometime top off at work if I know I'm going to take a detour and need the extra range.

I hand wash my cars with ceramic soaps, microfiber wash mitts or microfiber towels, and air blower to finish up. I use the same for my 5 ebikes. I clean the chain on the ebike with the Park Tool chain cleaner and Pedro's Oranj bike chain degreaser. I also use the scrub brush that comes with...

My S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild-A$$ Guess) is most thieves still wouldn't be able to figure that out or too weak to lift the ebike.

My wife is Hispanic and she has an old superstition of it being bad luck to kill a cricket on accident or purpose. I have to capture it if one gets into the house and let it go outside. Not sure how that got started; but, my suspicions are the crickets started this superstition?

Any steep hill climbing, long down hill runs, technical riding, or mostly fun rides on level off road riding on improved trail or single track? You might be limited to rear hub fat tire ebikes in the +/- $2000 range. The average specs for those types of ebikes are 65-90lbs, hardtail (no rear...

The general basic rule of thumb is tongue weight is around 10% of the tow weight: 1000lbs tow weight = 100lbs of tongue weight. This also depends on the type of vehicle, suspension, number of passengers, and how much cargo weight (hatch, back seat, or roof box). Any extra weight will reduce...

I finally updated my +10 year old Fox Flux helmet to a XL Bell Sixer MTB with MIPS system. The Bell helmet is extremely comfortable, feel lighter than my old Fox helmet, the visor can move up/down, it has more contact points to feel more secure on my head, and it is easy to adjust if I need to...

I called my USAA insurance company to see if my Home or Auto covers my Radrover ebikes. They told me my ebikes are covered under my home insurance and would be covered if I traveled in/out of state with them. I just needed to provide proof of purchase and documentation at claim time. This was...
