Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look at reviews. That’s exactly why I don’t want to spend more on the bike as this will enable me to change a few parts if something goes wrong. First e bike, so it’s scary tbh

Folks, I'm planning on buying to the core-5 ST as the 700 ST is not available now and I think spending less might give me more freedom to swap some stuff around. Also, I'm a student and I don't want to break the bank :( Do you have any suggestions for me with competitors to the core-5?

Oh nice. I’m leaning heavily towards ride1up 700. But I’ll have a look at the core 5 too! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely let y’ll know once I make the final choice.

@Ravi Kempaiah When should we expect you to be shipping the Shakti ebikes? And in which case when will the preorders open? (I'm sorry in case I missed your posts in this regard)

That's good to know! :D I think the difference in the price of about 400$ tips in favor of the R1U 700. Though I understand the popularity of Rad. Again I don't my city riding conditions are going to test the bike much. So I think spring or hydraulic should be fine, at least, I hope so. Thanks...

Oh shoot!! Will stick to the stock one for now. Thanks for your suggestions.

AMAZING : ) Then do you mind suggesting better front forks that I can swap it out with?

Perfect got it. That makes life easier for me. I guess I'm not looking for fatties. Just need to figure out if I'm going with the R1U 700 or the new Radcity. uff. Tough call I guess

Okay gotcha. Thanks! The incline is about 10-15 percent. Midtown Atlanta. Cool! Thanks again for the info!

That's so comforting to know!! Between the RadCity ST 3 and RadCity 5 Plus, which one do you think is a better deal? I would love to mod a townie but it pushes it out of my range. And I think I'm a light user though I ride 4-5 miles everyday. Its on proper city roads with inclines(those are what...

That's very good to know. But I don't off-road. I ride only within the city and live in midtown Atlanta. So, I'm guessing fat tire or not is not going to be a big deal, is it?

Thank you for your comments. On you your last point regarding the maintenance costs: which bikes cost more to maintain, Treks or Rads & R1Us? And doing my own work on my bikes is not an issue for me. But I see your point regarding Rad's aftersale value. I guess the term hills was misguiding, I...

I'm looking for my first ebike. My daily rides are around 4-5 miles. The route is reasonably hilly. I'm 5'10" and 180 lbs. My priorities are ease of use, less complaints (peaceful maintenance), removable battery and good brakes. I prefer step thrus. I've shortlisted the following and am open to...
