I can't speak to specific bikes but your spouse's 3 requirements all add to price. My ebike has my first disk brakes in a lifetime of bicycling and I love them - very responsive. I'd never go back. In general a mid drive motor will be better on hills. But I've never had a bicycle with...

Wow. That's lovely work.

Not thinking I can beat that unless I ride out to the middle of Kansas!😆

Things that help me: - Changing position on the bike. Sometimes I sit more forward, sometimes a little more upright on my sit bones.The shift in position is small but makes a difference. I also don't use toe clips or clipless pedals so while there is a more efficient place for my feet I can...

I enjoy riding trails on my travels. Since I'm new to ebikes this has all been on non-assisted bikes but I checked some of my favorites to see if they allow e-bikes. It looks like these do but check specifics as they may change: The Mickelson Trail in South Dakota allows Class 1 and 2 pedal...

The tires are Maxiss Re-fuse tires.

I love my Kona Dew-e dl, which is more than you want to spend but the lower cost version (without the dl) looks good too. The tires are wide enough to be comfortable on crushed rock trails and it was the lightest bike I found with a really good range. I agree with indianajo that this bike...

Stopped by the bike shop after my ride Thursday to have them put a different handlebar stem in so I can raise the handlebars a bit. A local mechanic had outfitted my Surley to make it more comfortable for my aging body and raising the handlebars helped. They also tightened my fenders which were...

Love turtles on a log!

That'll be difficult to top but I'll keep looking.

I th Hey @ChezCheese:) My recollection is that the Priest Lake area of Idaho is one of the places that I have seen a moose in the wild. Happy viewing!

Anyone can take pictures of gorgeous scenery but a really big grain elevator and some wall art!

Hurray for ebikes that keep us all rolling and exploring!

Not boasting so much as noting that I ride it differently with different people and in different situations. My husband is the slowest rider I know and I like to chat with him while riding. 😊 If I turn my bike on, he'll just see my back! (Not bragging, we are really slow riders) People buy...

Thanks for the garage space support @Catalyzt My ebike is very rideable without assist as well. It's about 42 lbs. and geared for hills. When I ride with my husband, who doesn't have an ebike, I mostly keep it on off with the exceptions of uphill starts, long hills, and that last hill home -...

Thanks for the varying perspectives. I was never strong on the hills and also live in a hilly city @mschwett . Not so pedestrian friendly though. When I went from living at the bottom of a hill (all rides end downhill) to near the top of a hill (all rides end uphill) I began to think about a...

I've only got 150 miles on my ebike but so far I haven't been tempted to ride my old non-ebike. But I still think there might be times I'd like to ride it. Maybe take it on a road trip to somewhere flat. Easier to transport, less tempting to a thief, etc. My question is, "Did you keep your...

Though the web site originally described this color as root beer, it now says mauve - a more accurate description as there is some red in it. Perhaps there was some confusion in the paint supply chain? Anyway the color has really grown on me and I'm pleased with it.

I've got 150 miles on the bike and still loving it. We've had some strong headwinds and I really appreciated the boost. Springtime in my city can be blustery. I spent some time reviewing the Shimano Steps e6100 manual and then went back to look at the specs for the bike to confirm what I was...
