    First e-bike for commuting with steep roads

    First e-bike for commuting with steep roads

    Hello, I'm new here and I'm looking for an e-bike for my commuting. Before covid I used to ride my "normal" bike (i.e. not an electric one) for my commuting. I live in a upper neighborhood in North Vancouver (Canada), the way down in the morning was never an issue :-) But in the evening, at the...
