As @pxpaulx said, Haibike low step bikes are not that visually different. If it helps, I am 29" inseam as well and the low step 44cm Trekking fits me fine. It is the XDuro Trekking S RX but I'd think the frame is similar between XDuro and SDuro.
I love my Ohm Urban XU 700 16! I have put over 2200 miles on it. Great commuting bike! It has a lot of power and I really like having both pedal assist and throttle. My wishlist for the next version: Throttle cuts off hard at 20 mph. Wish it was smoother. I would like to have a more powerful...
Curious what do you all think about the new Stealth model they are launching on Kickstarter? So far, the response seems a bit tepid but that is expected with bikes that cost upwards of $4k - at least on crowdfunding platforms. Motor is 750 watts and max. speed is 20mph. There is an option to get...
A mid drive bike would be good given your requirements. You might be able to find a deal on last year's models if you look around. You could probably do more than 30 miles a day on an electric bike. A lot of people on this forum commute long distances on their ebikes.
Take a look at the Bobike Classic Junior or other seats from Bobike. They seem to be popular in Europe. I have the Classic Junior and my 5-year old likes it...
My experience has been similar to yours. For me, ebike has made it possible to ride 200 miles every week. I wouldn't have done that on a non-electric bike. So even if I'm using less effort while riding, overall, I'm exercising a lot more. I've lost a decent amount of weight since I started...
Mine is working great! Stiffness and weight of the lock were a bit surprising but now I'm used to it. I leave the lock attached to a post in our garage at work so I don't have to carry it.
Court, it was EBR that got me hooked to ebikes. I'm commuting almost exclusively on ebike now. Thanks for all your work. If you happen to be in Austin, would love to go for a ride.
Does Velofix serve your area? They will bring a van to your place and assemble the bike. You can also get the bike shipped to them. Ohm bike isn't that hard to put together. You could probably do it yourself and then take it to LBS (even a regular bike shop) and ask them make sure everything is...
