Hi Everyone from Newport Beach, CA
The 2 of us, Wife (5’ 6”) and myself (6’ 3”) are in the market for a Commuter E-Bike. It will be for going around town, Beach paths, etc. Have 4 small kids. May eventually have a Child Bike Trailer behind one of the bikes so we can tow the 2 little ones. Just maybe? Have a hunch we may be towing alot of crap also. 4 Kids under 4. Always out and about and you only know the amount of stuff you bring kids. Lol.
Our Wish list is the following:
I would like to find a deal. Not pay Retail. I probably will buy 2 bikes and if I could find a good discount for a NEW 2019 model, this would be a good time to buy.
Here are the bikes I've been looking at. No Ranking Order
Love to have anyone's input re this first e-bike purchase to help steer me in the right direction or share any experience that may help a first time e-bike owner. First Time posting. Been on the site for a few weeks going down many rabbit holes.
