Hello Everyone, I am Considering buying my first Ebike, I am looking at the NCM Moscow plus. Is there anything similar right around that price that I should be looking at ?

Not much offers as large a battery (768wh) for the price of the Moscow: the Juiced Cross Current S2 has a smaller 672wh battery for the same money but also has a more useful 1 x 9 drivetrain, you do not need the 24 gears on the Moscow, you'll only use 2 or 3 regularly; the Ride1Up 700 has a similar 672wh battery and a cheaper 1 x 7 drivetrain but only costs $1,500. Both the Moscow and Ride1Up use cheaper basic cadence pedal sensors and a throttle, vs Juiced use a torque sensor which is more bicycle like to ride and a throttle, IMO that makes the Juiced the best of the three.

I went with the R500 Commuter from M2S. The reviews on their bikes seem to be very good. Time will tell, my bike should arrive on Thursday. So far I've been very impressed with their email and phone customer service in North Carolina. They have answered about a dozen questions I've asked

Thats funny, that bike was my first choice. However when I went to order it last week they were sold out, pre order only. The web site shipping in May. When I called they said it could be June or July, I didn't want to wait that long
That's unfortunate to hear they sold out but I guess good for them. The bike is pretty much a copy of the RAD Rover but with smaller battery and less standard equipment. However the Rover is a tad bit more expensive but I hear they have much better support. Good luck!

I've had my R500 since Jan, lots of fun adjusting to an ebike. This model will tackle city life with ease and is a competent ride. I did find the original tires noisy and slow, changed out a few bits and made it to suit my needs. You won't be disappointed.
Thats great to hear, what tires did you end up using? I'll be using for street and gravel roads 50/50

Since I'm mainly on pavement I went for Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS 468 flatless puncture resistant. They are less aggressive pattern, super quiet and long tread life. Go to their site, this is a new learning curve. I also changed out the hand grips. There is so much available to make your ride unique
Thanks for the info! I already plan to do some Farkeling Lol
I rode motorcycles for 35 years... Farkle (n): A modification to a motorcycle that satisfies the following criteria: creates “bling,” serves a purpose (the usefulness of which is in the eyes of the farkler) and is most likely expensive
My last motorcycle was a 2006 Yamaha FRJ1300. The bike cost about 12K, I think I had about 2K in "Farkle's) and mods Lol
