Yea Jom, I'd like to have the option of riding in both types of conditions however, I have a bunch to learn when it comes to all the different features that E-biking offers. The RipCurrent S looks great. I like the fact that the new 52 Volt battery platform has over 1,000 Watt-Hours and 70+ miles of real-world range, not to mention Juiced has incorporated the latest charger technology to extend the lifespan to over 1,500 charge cycles.
I am definitely taking my time to learn all I can. I was looking over some of the offerings @
https://lunacycle.com/ . Some of the reasons I like them is because they offer top-quality powerful products at affordable prices.
I want to get the best E-bike I can & I'm more than willing to wait a bit longer to buy it.
Looking over some of the fat bikes @ Biktrix, I was also impressed with what they had to offer.
https://www.biktrix.com/collections/bikes shows a line called the
Juggernaut . This seems to be a pretty healthy line of bike. The Juggernaut Classic HD has a 1000W rated, 1500W (peak) power mid drive motor built into the frame with 1-9 programmable levels of assist and a 35mph top speed. It shows a 20-80 mile range based on battery choice.
Again, I'm trying to expose myself to as many different e-bike companies I can with respect to motor type, battery power, range, price, quality and last but not least, service after the sale. I know that with a (direct to consumer) purchase, I'm not going to get the same support I would as with a dealer but, that is okay by me. I'm willing to take my time and learn as much as I can about servicing and supporting my bike as I feel it is the best way to go. If you look back over at Luna, you'll see that they offer a basic tool kit as an included option. It sure seems to me that the more I understand about how to fix and service my bike, the better I'm going to feel in the long run, after the fact.
