Thank you for this. It is really helpful. So, with absolutely no knowledge of cycles, I don't know what reduction gears or a derailleur are. Totally willing to learn though. Is there anywhere I can go to to learn how I'm supposed to treat my ebike correctly? Wipe it down after a ride in the...

I see. What I was looking for was similar to pedego's bike except they have a fixed speed at each level. At eco for example, it takes you to 9mph as soon as you pedal irrespective of how fast you are pedaling. I would want maybe a analog based on how much force I'm using.

I know, Wouldnt buying one of these essentially mean that you just trust yourself to keep yourself safe. If I got one I wouldnt drive over 28 just cause laws. It's always nice knowing you have the option to burst out though, say either on roads where there is no-one(and US is huge, I'm sure...

That's the thing. I would want the bafang motors cause I've test driven a few 350W-500W motors, while they felt nice while climbing hills, they lacked the 'oomph' I was expecting.

Hah, that's what I thought. I also do want to use it as exercise though. Probs wont get this one otherwise

Interesting. Can you pedal though (They have pedals for extra on Sur-Ron black, so it must be usable for something)

Interesting. Good to know about the forks. I've to wait till week end to go testing anyway. Will add this to notes

Interesting. I have a shop near me that sells a LaFree +1, but it comes with a chain drive. If I'm aiming for a belt drive I'd have to look elsewhere.

This is great information. Thanks for letting me know

This makes sense. Imma go ride a yamaha. Do you know if any motor feels similar to a bafang that I can try before I make a decision.

I'm leaning towards either Juggernaut/Ultra right now, but I've got a few questions before I buy them. 1) How do the wheels fare in rainy season? I'm in Seattle and I want to drive 30-35 miles(2 way) even in rain, maybe slightly slower. Would I need better wheels? 2) How often would I need...

I see. This makes sense. So yamaha over bafang then? I've looked at yamaha and it seems much more costlier as compared to the equivalent I'd get on BikTrix, and people say Biktrix has great service. I do have a yamaha dealer near me though, which would make it easier for me if I try to get...

Interesting. I did not know yamaha sold ebikes. Thanks for letting me know.

Ye giant is good. The motor is proprietary though, and I'm not sure if I like that. I'm looking for places near me that do sell them(I think I have one, which is really good for me)

Yes, I am seriously considering local sources, but I've test driven quite a few ebikes but none felt super satisfying. The best I felt was a Muller, but that is completely out of my budget range. I'm probably going to have to compromise if I do that. I'm working on understanding the motor...

I have spent forever searching for ebikes and am absolutely confused over what I should be buying. Here are a few things I am interested in : 1) I must have a mid-drive motor. I live in Seattle, and mid drives are so much more efficient in hill climbing. My commute takes me across quite a...
