Rich, glad you've got your bike on order. As for the hitch and bike rack... I installed my hitch myself. The hitch was $125 and it took only about an hour to install with no drilling and only one skinned knuckle! Don't know if you want to do it yourself but it's an option. You can also buy a...

I'm sure Court or someone else will have some suggestions. You don't mention your height or weight which may not matter but it might help steer you to a bike that fits you better. I considered folding bikes too, but went for the Easy Motion Neo Jet because it fit me well and was more of a...

Rich, Good luck and welcome to this thread and electric bikes. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I do like the bike I got. It fits me well and has me riding longer distances than I would otherwise. It's been a rainy spring here in Oregon so I haven't been out as much as I might have...

Court, I ordered those exact peddles just an hour ago... :)

I agree with everything Court has said about this bike. I rode this bike and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the software and display/control system of the Izips. I was looking for something to ride around town and also travel with (so the somewhat smaller frame was desirable.) Court...

I know Ms. Morissette well, Court. Thanks for the laugh. Had my first real ride with the Neo Jet today (the rain finally stopped). Rode 40 miles on a really nice paved trail. OK, my butt is sore, but otherwise it was quite enjoyable. I'll need to sort of relearn gearing when I have...

Well, I went ahead and bought a Neo Jet yesterday (with fenders and a rack). Otherwise, I pretty much got it stock and will ride it a bit and then decide if the stem should be raised a bit, if I like the seat, peddles, etc. I bought it locally and they gave me a nice discount and some freebies...

Thanks Court and Chris. I think too the number of gears might reflect company philosophy. Easy Motion which seems to offers more gears and is part of BH, which is a bike company first and foremost. Some of the other companies newer to ebikes or even producing bikes seem to offer fewer...

Yeah, Chris, I've thought of that too. It's funny. When I first started looking a electric bikes I was aiming for something pretty modest and simple. Having biked most my life I've gradually shifted toward looking at more "normal" bike frames and tire sizes. Of course, what I think I want has...

Thanks, Chris. The Neo Jet does seem to be really nice. I plan on giving it a test ride this weekend. It's at the top end of my price range and I would probably then have to add lights and probably a rack of some sort. The main thing for me might be the riding position. I'm hoping it would...

I think you're spot on, as always, Court. I saw a Easy Motion Neo Jet today with the updated battery. Any idea on when the new models will generally be available? I'm having fun reading and checking out the new bikes, although it can be a bit maddening. I also agree that Easy Motion's...

Court, I think what I liked about the Twn: Exp was the size of it and the ride. I also really like the computer and TAG/PAS scheme of the Izips. It would be interesting for me to ride that bike again and see if it still appeals to me (which I definitely will do). It doesn't seem to be any...

Thanks for the input, guys. The rain finally let up long enough today to go to a local dealer and ride a few bikes. Is it just me, or are bike shop owners some of the nicest people? I must've rode eight bikes today and they were pleasant and gave me plenty of attention and advice. The store...

Wow. I've been reading non-stop about electric bikes for the last two weeks and just stumbled across this site. I'm so impressed with the reviews and sense of community here... I'm a small guy, 5'5", 140 pounds and looking for an electric bike to take with me in my small RV although it...
