Hello All. New member looking for some guidance on purchasing my first e-bike. Full disclosure have zero knowledge of e-bikes. I’ve done some internet research and visited a coupe shops to check out a few bikes that I’m interested in. As background, I live in Alberta Canada, am a very recent senior, 5’6” and it’s been quite a while since I’ve ridden a bike, of any kind. Pretty active outdoors so looking to expand my exercise routine.
From my research to date I’ve narrowed my list to ether the Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 IGH, the Como 4.0 IGH, the Gazelle Ultimate C380 or TuffHill (local manufacturer). I really like the Specialized 5.0 but after reading some of the comments on the Specialized products, seems the software has a few issue more so than the bike. My criteria is for a medium frame, belt drive, mid motor and battery >500Wh.
Would appreciate any recommendations and comments or other bikes I should consider.
