commute

Hi, I'm a prospective first time ebike purchaser and want some advice about what to purchase. I'm a 6'4, 215 lb male and want an ebike for two main purposes: (1) 4-5 mile hilly commute to and from work - hoping to do in under 20 minutes each way. (2) taking 4 year old to school in rear mounted...

I am happy to say I have finally joined the e-bike world. I really appreciated people sharing their insights when I was researching bikes, so I am going to write my thoughts here on the ebikereview forum. I am a big guy, 6'3'', 305 lbs. Though I don't look like it, I love biking and spend a...

I tend to be wordy, so I'll summarize in bullet points at the top: -I live in the US now but may be moving to Vienna, Austria in the next couple of months -Need an e-bike for a 20 km commute each way (elevation: 60 m up, 90 m down from home to work) -I'm 5'7" 240 pounds -- I'm in better shape...

I am toying with the idea of replacing my Pace and Metra monthly passes (total $190/mo pre-tax benefit) with an e-bike for a 24-mile commute from a Chicago SW suburb, via Ogden Ave, to the Chicago loop. Would it be insane to consider doing this year-round? Could I get a reasonably snow-worthy...

Meet the reincarnation of KITT (for those that watched TV in the 80's ;)) I've had my OHM bike for a few weeks now, and thought it would be good to share some of my thoughts/impressions after logging almost 500km on it so far. Obviously my riding style and preferences won't be the same as...

Hello, I am in the market for a new ebike that can handle a long and hilly daily commute to work. I've tested out a few bikes at my LBS, and was enjoying the mid-drive Bosch performance CX system and its climbing ability ((Link Removed - No Longer Exists)- a MTB setup, but I would convert it to...

Greetings, I am in the market for a new ebike. After much online research, looking through these forums, and trying out some bikes at my local shop, I think I could use some experienced opinions from the ebike community. I have a long bicycle commute to work, and there are lots of hills at...

One of our friend, Adam sent us this video and we were WOW'ed by his effort and scientific approach. You may remember he had made a video a month ago comparing an ST2 with Focus mid-drive. Now, he is taking it to another level. This is such a detailed, analytical approach to comparing E-bike Vs...

Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum. I've read through so please forgive if this has been answered and I missed it. I live in Marin CA and commute to SF, about 12-13 miles one way. I'm the sweatiest person I know. I'm tired of having to change (wake->home clothes->bike...

I am astounded by the explosion of e-bikes now available, and would appreciate pointers for which bikes I might focus attention on. I bike-commuted for 10 years then gave up when I moved to a city 7-10 miles from work, with hills, route challenges, and no shower (or time for one) at work end...
