    Need an ebike that will climb a stiff grade on my commute

    I like it. I'm hearing Alec Baldwin. :cool: Allen, the people here are much more laid back than in other forums. All different shapes, sizes, tastes, and requirements...if someone is irritated with answering your questions, then they are approaching their...

    Help choosing...knowledge challenge! : )

    Calvin, you're definitely right about being certain that I have the range and power that I need. This level of expenditure is no joke for me, so I will definitely be cautious.

    Maximum Weight

    Kaldeem, fwiw, the Pedego Trail Tracker has a larger frame and a 600w motor versus the more common 500w. It also has a 48 volt battery. Additional info here: https://www.pedegoelectricbikes.com The specs don't list a max weight. Might be a bummer for you that it's only single speed.

    E-Bike Research

    Court Rye is The Man In The Know around here. He'll probably check in soon. As for the Stromer, it's cool and performs great (from what I've read), but seems to be more for someone who is interested in pedaling more (as you mentioned, no throttle). It also looks to be more traditionally set up...
