    Which ebike Seattle commuter for 6’2 300lbs?

    Nice! You're my hero! The Bulls is the 28mph w/ 500whr, but probably will mean less distance than yours... Getting some exercise during commute and dropping weight back down is the goal!

    Which ebike Seattle commuter for 6’2 300lbs?

    All right! I got the bicycle today! I usually make my purchases online. After visiting several LBS in Seattle, they didn't seem to know much about their Stromer, Specialized and Trek e-bikes, which is very disconcerting since your spending several $k. After stopping by Seattle Electric...

    2015 ST2 vs 2017 ST2

    Awesome advice from everyone, I ended up going a different direction and ordered a mid-drive Bosch class 3 bike from an LBS.

    Which ebike Seattle commuter for 6’2 300lbs?

    I test rode a couple more and I ended up ordering a Bulls Six50 through a LBS. I'll receive it sometime next week and I'll write up my experiences. Thanks everyone for the great input!

    Dail-E Grinder

    @Ravi Kempaiah thanks for the great input. I decided on the Six50 E2, special ordered at the LBS and ordered a bodyfloat seatpost. The Supernova looks awesome but will have to wait on that for now. Thanks for the suggestion on changing the front chainring to a 20T, that's definitely do-able!

    Dail-E Grinder

    @Ravi Kempaiah , I really enjoy your posts and videos. I'm looking at the Bulls Six50 e2 Street as a cheaper alternative commuter to the Dail-E Grinder. With your experience w/ the ST2 S and the Dail-e Grinder, what are your observations on the advantages and disadvantages of both?

    Which ebike Seattle commuter for 6’2 300lbs?

    I recently test rode a couple e-bikes. The first was a Vado 5. It was nice, but my ass and wrists were sore after a short bumpy pavement ride. Suspension fork and seatpost may be a requirement. I'd probably consider the Vado 6 w/ a bodyfloat . I tested out some Bulls and Haibike, with...

    2015 ST2 vs 2017 ST2

    Thanks for the thorough replies. I've had the chance to test out some e-bikes at a local shop and may also be considering e-bikes using Bosche speed. After test riding, I definitely feel the need for a suspension fork. I did have a chance to test out the bodyfloat (which wasn't calibrated for...

    2015 ST2 vs 2017 ST2

    I’m comparing at a 2015 ST2 (demo) at a LBS and another new 2017 ST2 online. They’re both going for about $5k. Looking online, I don’t see any/many changes from 2015 to 2017. In regards to the 2015, I’m concerned the 2015 battery may have a lower capacity due to two years of showroom demo. In...

    Which ebike Seattle commuter for 6’2 300lbs?

    First post. Looking at Stromer ST2, Specialized Vado 5/6, Trek Super Commuter or others for a 40 mile Bothell to Seattle round trip commute. Path will be some paved bike trails and Seattle streets. I’m 6’2 and about 300lbs. Any recommendations? Thanks!
