I've been trying to make a decision on what kind of ebike I should buy. I am unable to get my drivers licence because of limited left peripheral vision; that is the biggest obstacle that makes me hesitate to buy a CLASS 2 ebike to ride on the city streets in Calgary Alberta. Following the rules of the road, always riding on the right hand side wold mean all other vehicles would come from my left side which is where I have no peripheral vision. It would be safer to ride on the many bike paths that are in Calgary, but According to provincial laws it is illegal to ride class 2 ebikes on bike paths, but if the ebike has both POD and pedal assist then would it be ok to ride it using pedal assist only? Alberta is often snowy, wet or sometimes sunny, the weather is always changing, so what ebike would be most suitable for commuting around the city on both flat and rough Terrain. As you know ebikes are expensive to ship, so I was looking at Daymak's models, but not many are class 1 ebikes. What other brands would you recommend that stay within a budget of 1000 - 2500 CAD starting with the most affordable. I haven't fully committed myself into getting one, but if I do I could also go for something that will last and be worth my money.
