Hi. Been researching bikes for the past several days. Watching YouTube clips and such. So here is where I am at.
wants:
On the lighter side. (40lbs or so max)
Compact (no fat tires)
Leaning towards 16”-20” wheels
Must go at least 20mph
Ability to ride without pedaling (throttle?)
Don’t want it to stick out like a custom fancy bike (aka Gocycle) (don’t want it a bullseye for theft)
Ideal budget around $700-$2000. All depends on what I am getting for the money.
other items not required but prefer:
Be able to fold up and push/pull like a luggage wheeled bag
Multi-gear (3 or more)
Removable battery.
Inability to steal battery easily (or any part)
fenders to avoid splashing water up while riding
Rear rack (for possibly carrying small dog)
so far the bikes that seem to be under consideration are:
Enzo
Fiido (though think max speed is 15)
London citizen ebike
Jupiter
Carbo X
Jetson Metro
MATE city+
SDream ur500x
I realize these options may not hit all my wants but seem to be pretty close on most levels. Or they are on the cheaper side of things and hence I may be willing to go with a $700 Jetson Metro vs a $2400 Carbo x.
Any input? Any brands I am missing? Anything features I should not skimp on that aren’t on my lists?
Thanks
