I have been researching for a couple of weeks and I would like to order a bike this weekend. I could use some advice from the veterans here.
Looking to ride for fun and exercise. I have some knee and and calf muscle issues along with a weight issues so I'm looking for bike to help smooth out the hills but still offers exercise on the flats. I'll be riding mostly paved paths, and groomed fine gravel trails.
Basics:
6ft tall, 325lbs.
budget under $2k.
I originally was looking more budge and going with Eahora but I've decided a better quality bike would be wiser purchase and something higher wattage due to my weight.
After researching I was leaning towards the Ride1up 700, but that will not be back into stock until end of June.
My other choices are:
Ride1up Lmt'D - seems almost perfect for me but risk is a new unproven model.
Aventon Level - close to the price of the limited, but less power, and no water bottle mounts. Rack is nice but don't really need that.
M2S All Terrain Sport R500, good reviews but their shipping costs are high when you take into account every other vendor I'm looking at is offering free shipping. Also does not have water bottle mounts.
I am leaning towards the Lmt'D and would be thankful for any advice.
