I tried to tell my sisters that this was the answer to their "we have to get our teen to get their license" problems. E-bike being cheaper than the insurance increase and then having to help with a car. But Nooooo. They scoffed at me!

Now that's funny. 😂

Picture or it didn't happen. ;)

Did you end up doing the battery-in-a-bag gag? What's the range? I thought I should add another option for lightweight affordable city bikes is this Velotric Thunder 1 ST that I've had for a little over a year. A spirited Class 1 ebike that's fun to ride. Torque sensor, hydraulic disk...

Sounds like you're ready for a new adventure! Hope the weather lets you get out right away to enjoy it. :cool:

If Apple came out with a new e-bike: Probably cost $10,000 (with charger not included.) ;)

OMG this was too much fun. I fed in variations of "electric bicycle designed by M.C. Echer" (yes I know the spelling isn't right but it fought me with the real spelling.) Got these: Too cool.

I'd like to have a way to filter and sort the review list. I know what kind of bike I'm looking for and I know my price range, but I might not know the manufacturers. How about in order of newest to oldest? Or latest review to older? Or by reviewer? Just reviews with videos? Maybe a...

I changed the tires on my Velotric Thunder 1 ST last month for the same reason. Just needed a little more grip for trying out dirt tracks. Nothing too crazy, as this isn't really designed to be a mountain bike and I'm not that aggressive a rider at this stage in my life. Anyway, found these...

I'm not sure what the motor torque is but Tenways has several options that were very promising in my searches for lightweight ebikes. I think they're mostly single speed with a belt drive. The Vanpowers Commuter was another good option for single speed belt drive. Sorry, no personal...

I just picked up the Velotric Thunder 1 ST. Lightweight class 1 at 36 lbs, with a torque sensor, 350W hub motor, hydraulic brakes, and 8 speed gearing. So far I'm diggin' it. Great on the flats, takes a little effort for hills although there is some assistance. Narrow tires and lack of...

You should probably be specific about what you have. Velotric is a brand with several bikes.

Ho Dez! That Vvolt Serius is a possible contender for a future ebike for me. How do you like it? What kind of riding is it good for?

Ho OrTrek, Thanks for the info. There's some interesting contenders in this "lightweight ebike" realm, including some new ones. I'm been trying to figure out which compromises are fine, as this would be mostly for fitness on city trails for me. Already have 65# SUV of a bike, but it's a bit...

The Thunder 1 ST is on my short list right now. :) How long before yours arrives? Maybe you can give a little head to head comparison.

I'm also looking for a lightweight ebike and considered the Roadster V2. but I dismissed it because of the lack of torque sensor (I like the natural feel of a torque sensor.) Tell me why the Roadster is still a good contender? --Ender

Ho Richard! I really appreciate the perspective. Of course, as I start looking at lightweight pedelic options in this $2000-$3500 price range, I keep finding more and more competitors! Everything from Orbea to Gazelle to Cannondale! Plus plenty of online only competitors even cheaper...

I've been using a Dexcom G6 CGM for a few years now and I can vouch for these things. Really helps manage blood sugar. And the Dexcom is great because it talks to your phone over bluetooth and the app on your phone can alert you when blood sugar is too high or too low or if it's dropping very...

Thanks, yeah I saw that. Let's hope. :cool:

Resurrecting an old thread here (and thanks for the discussion, guys!) I already have a heavy powerful ebike (with torque sensor,) but am looking for a lighter alternative more for fitness. I've test ridden the FX+ 2 twice now at different shops, and after the first time I was curious about...
