    Advice on first e-bike

    In this case and once I watched that electribikereview on the Powerfly FS 9, I called around town to see whether anybody had one (of course, they didn't). But one shop has one coming in at the end of December... so I put a fully refundable deposit on it. I will continue to research options but...

    Advice on first e-bike

    Yes, I, too, know a couple who bought bikes without FS and wish they'd bought FS. I'd probably carry the 10 essentials for hiking in the bag on the bike rack and then my camera and lens in a small backpack. I'd put wear binoculars on a chest harness. I know I'm going to love it. There is a...

    Thanks, Catalyzt. I will take a look at the bikes you mentioned. It's difficult to see or ride any of the bikes right now, but I'll see what I can find.

    Advice on first e-bike

    Thanks Merle and Ian! Yes, I had seen that review and have searched out as much information as I can on that bike. Of course, there are few bikes available to actually ride, much less the one I like "on paper". I will see what I can do about riding some bikes locally first. Full suspension and...

    Advice on first e-bike

    I'm looking for my first e-bike. It's hard to know how much to spend on a first one and I'm not entirely sure how I'll use it. - I'm not a cyclist; I'm a hiker/birder/photographer, but I have a campervan and want to take a bike along to leave the van and go exploring at distances greater than a...
