Then I'm out. I can't advise someone how to do it 1/2 way. Good luck. You will love whatever ebike you get... for a while.

I saw these today... they're "ebikes".

Do those Treks have throttles?
@Taylor57 You're gonna need to set a price range too.
I remember some Eahora (or was it Eunorau) full suspension eMTB in the $1300 range... just not sure about the support.
I think for the kind of riding you want to do, you probably need a rear hub since throttle mid-drives are usually hard on the drive system and you're not really needing the off-road torque of a mid-drive.

Hectors Ghost, I didn't say they both weren't ebikes. Time to take a chill-pill.

It definitely meets all my criteria. Couldn't find the weight (looks like a 70 pounder) and my one concern is the only color available now is white. Not crazy about the white with the black battery attached to the frame...

I was looking at those recently. Nice bike for sure, but they come standard with a pretty small battery - and they get a lot of money for the bigger ones most would want. Most will end up spending 4k or better for that bike....

I actually like brighter/lighter colored bikes... makes them more noticeable.
My thought as well. One less excuse for the jack ass that hits me to say "I didn't see him"!

Yeah, I did a simulated buy and added the best battery and upgraded forks and the price went to about 4500. For that price I will buy a Bulls Iconic and hot wire a throttle...

You won't be adding a throttle to an ebike with a Bosch motor. Can't be done.
As someone else mentioned, I'd take a close look at a Frey ebike.

Would love to see a review of the Homie on EBR...

look hard but in the end you wont beat Frey,Biktrix or M2s when it comes to FS throttle middrives, they own that market!
the M2S Ultra FS is $3499, it comes stock with a 52v 16ah pack and thats pretty sweet! y
you would have to add your own rack and fenders.
