Hello Everyone,
I need help choosing a replacement folding E-bike. Mine just got stolen today (left it outside for three hours- 18 millimeter chain was cut with a power tool). My bike was a Dahon formula s18- 20 inch- with the Bionx Motor and electronics. I used it everyday to commute from and to work in Manhattan, New York. I really enjoyed the pedal assist, the powerful motor and the relative lightness of it. I normally kept it in the same gear and rarely used the other many ones the bike offered. I believe they are not making any more of them so Im looking to buy a new similar model.
It has to be foldable and preferably 20 inch wheels. I've been looking at fat tire addmotor 150 on Amazon for 1300 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B17HE1S/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza does any one have an opinion on these?
I also looked at the Radmini http://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radmini-electric-folding-fat-bike?variant=17586850561. I like the fact that this one has racks because I occasionally carry up to 30lbs of stuff with me.
I like the idea of having thicker tires to be able to use it in mild snow showers (I bike all year round almost everyday).
However I also found this one which is not a fat tire bike but has an affordable price tag and seems very close to what I had:
GreenBike USA G5

The acceleration and motor power are very important to me. It would be ideal if I can pedal past the 20 mph limit of the motor. Any thoughts on this on which could ? Thanks for any help.
