Cool. Thanks for the endorsement of non-hydraulic disc brakes. Makes sense to me.

That all makes a lot of sense. One issue of me is that I normally will want to keep the bike inside and I don't have a garage. I'd need to lift it in and out of my apartment, which is first floor, but there are a few steps up to it. I think that would get old real quick if I had a 70 pound bike!

Thank you. I guess I should look for at least V Brakes, and hopefully Hydraulic brakes?

I'm in the Mid-Hudson Valley. There's plenty of flat, and plenty of steep hills and mountains, so I'd love to be able to tackle it all. Based on the great feedback on this thread, I am thinking of getting this 500W option from Ebikeling, with Rear mount...

Hi. I am considering buying a RAD Ebike...specifically a Rad Rover Fat Bike to ride on all terrains...from my daily errands to the trails. If I have concerns at any time about the legality of it here in upstate New York, would it be easy enough for me to somehow temporarily disable or remove...
