Have a Jeep?!?! We have - for many decades... An "off the menu" option from 1UP-USA is "reverse side plates" that lowers the ride height of the rack in case you mount it in a front receiver and don't want the bikes riding too high above the top of the front hood. This might also help if your...

@NancyS I'd suggest you consider a Fat Tire Bike (FTB, tire width of ~4"+) if you're on rough surfaces. The suspension features other folks suggested can help with ride comfort, running the fat tires at lower pressures, will also add a cushioning effect, and also traction on your rough...

@Carol K sorry to hear of the apparently defective motor. We have two bikes with the 750 watt Bafang mid-motor and they ran great out of the box, and continue to run great. Bafang is a global volume leader in e-bike motors, they are not Bosch/Panasonic/other high end units, but are a very good...

@indianajo Check out this 2 year hunting review of the Rambo R750 G2 G3 Hunting bikes by GabeVanWormer of Full Quiver Outdoors ( ) . This is one of many e-Bike game carts offered by manufacturers Rambo R180 Game Cart.

@nublar @kathik @vincent that (link -->) 1UP USA rack look like a nice rack - thanks for mentioning it A double bike rack is in $570-$620 range, aluminum or black anodized aluminum finish, rack weight 46 lbs, per bike rating is 50 lbs (ea). Fat Tires require an optional spacer kit. Uses...

@AHicks - Glad that you were not hurt! Appears that seat tube should have been of greater thickness or a better alloy composition. Be sure to get a quality replacement!

@Greencat @billyboy WRT "lifetime warranties" go into the deal with Eyes Wide Open. Don't count too heavily on warranties... they may not cover you when you have a failure - they are basically a telling ethics check for the manufacturer/vendor. We had a premium Saris/Graber bike carrier...

@AHicks we went with the Cloud 9 cruiser style seats also. Actually the bikes came with narrower Cloud 9's. They aren't too expensive...

@phoenixtoohot , we don't own a RadCity or RadCity step thru, but did consider purchasing Rad Power e-Bikes as good values/a good first, rear hub motor design, e-Bikes. As a prior suspension bike user, you're on the right path questioning tire pressure/considering testing again at a lower tire...

@E-Wheels absolutely correct. Just cut the soft steel bike rack tubing, flex the rack open, and leave with the bike. Remove the Altor SAF elsewhere at thief's leisure.

@FlatSix911- agree Analog is a much better linguistic term and bicycle design fit - modern e-Bikes (digital) have control software, semiconductor based controllers, motors. Analog pedal-bikes may have a digital speedometer/trip computer accessory. Acoustic connotes noise, consider "Acoustics...

@Ken M - Agree... e-Bikes as a larger, more stable, more visible platforms, just seem to make a lot more sense than scooters or hoverboards... as "viable and effective human-scale transportation."

@indianajo Thanks for posting a matter of fact, pragmatic view... Didn't know that brake fluid was so pricey BTW.

@erider_61 Congratulations! Tuesday it is!

@Ktmracer - Welcome to the forum. Enjoy those trails! Ride On!

@Ronnielc Welcome to the forum. We're already replacing vehicle trips with e-Bike outings. It's nice to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise (<-- yes this is possible on an e-Bike)...

@JamesJackson Yes good old Newton's 1st Law "an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force." As long as one doesn't blow your controller or motor, you'll be fine. @Muhororo is a big guy pulling a big load (kids) he needs to help that...

@Brewerpaul - You bring up a good point about Local Bike Shops (LBS) sometimes being reluctant to work on low-end E-Bikes. An item to add to one's shopping/purchase criteria should be an e-Bike that has components, including drive components, sourced from a reputable or widely used...

@erider_61 considering you carefully researched this purchase for 10 months, I'd suggest waiting another week or two or three. You obviously are blessed with patience to some degree. Good luck and sorry for your disappointment. Even anticipation of 6-7 day shipment of an in-stock bike can be...
