Back pain and handlebar change on my 2020 City Ltd

[rich c]

I had a lot of regret with the idea of putting on an offset handlebar on my City Ltd., but after getting an X-ray telling me the pain in my lower back was from Arthritis, I knew my back would be happier. It has a 90mm offset and a 6 degree back set. The look is about what I expected, but felt zero discomfort on my 10 mile ride today. $37 on Amazon and no issues during the install. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0956QBZ9Q?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1

Nice!

Now get a Kinekt seatpost, your back will be even happier

I haven't looked into that. The seat post on this bike is not round, it's carbon fiber and has a D shape.

Are you having backpain while riding your ebike?
Or after riding?

Usually just at the start. I've started doing stretching exercises before going out and that has helped.
