A few newbie questions

[Wes Turner]

Hi, all. I am new here. I am thinking about getting an e-bike, but have a few questions before I do have a few questions. It is better if I limit each new post to a single question so the discussion can stay better focused rather than ask 4-5 questions in one post?

Thanks

Put all the questions in one post. Makes it easier to understand the context of them and give you sensible answers.

My suggestion is to provide a little background to help narrow down your choices. There is a difference between the good/better/best ebike choices on the market compared to good/better/best ebike for "you" that meets your needs in your riding environment.

- budget range
- miles per week, max range
- experience level for mods, maintenance, and repairs
- any health or physical limitations (limited mobility, weight, too tall/short, conditioning, etc...)
- riding environment (need to ride all 4 seasons, store during winter, rough roads, dirt, etc...)
- riding location (city, suburb, single track, work commute, etc...)
- weekend warrior, daily commuter, used for work, any cargo capacity needed, etc...
- home/work storage and transportation needs by car, SUV, or bus
