    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    I just ran into a new electric scooter that seems very much like the GigaByke Groove and the Jetson. It's an Emmo, made in Canada, has great reviews. I've emailed the company to see if they sell and ship to the U.S. I suspect that new tariff rules may cloud such inter-county commerce, but...

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    eMom; Thank you for your observations. I've seen the same expansion of diameter on the mountain bikes in my area. Some of the new bikes come with incredibly big tires in both diameter and width. That's why in looking at the GigaByke and the Jetson I thought they might be ideal for my needs...

    Terminology: Looking for an electric scooter

    In looking for an electric scooter for my environment, I have run across a maze of terms for electric bikes. It's pretty confusing. First, there are bicycles that are electric bikes, and then there are electric skateboard-type machines noted as bikes, and scooters that are listed as electric...

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    Yes, I am aware of the risks--but I like the potential of this bike for my terrain. I'm thinking about volunteering my services as a tester--I could vet the bike, show it around my turf, introduce it to the local bike shop, do a review or two. I have no idea if the company would go for such a...

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    I am now looking at the EcoRider E5-10 as a possible ride. Unfortunately, no dealers, no reviews, and the makers are a long ways away. It would be a pig in a poke--but I'm hoping to find a dealership in the US or a similar bike made in the US.

    Timpo; I have now. It's like there's a revolution in the bike/scooter world with an incredible number of options showing up everywhere. Slomoshun; When you talk about the bicycle wheels digging in, are you taking into account the fatter bike tires now on the market?

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    More specifically, I'm looking at the Bigfoot X1 1200 W, 3 speed, electric Fat Tire scooter. It is sometimes represented as the golf scooter--it'll get you through the course. It's a bit pricey, but I'm thinking there may be some winter sales--who plays golf in the winter?

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    Yo, Tempo; thank you--I had not seen this bike. From the reports I've been getting, the tall-tire scooter-looking bikes may not be very good in my environment--a desert village with lots of gravel and dirt paths. So now I'm looking at some of the fat tire options. Interesting stuff.

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    Well darn. The GigaByke and the Jetson looked about perfect for what a want--a small village cruiser that can handle dirt and gravel.

    Moped Style Electric Bikes

    I've been looking for an eScooter along the lines of a GigaByke Groove or a Jetson Electric scooter/bike. The reviews have been incredibly contradictory and confusing. For example, I asked Amazon buyers if the scoots were ok on gravel, grass and dirt(I live in a semi-rural area) and the answer...
