Hello everyone,
After owning my Pedego Ridge Rider for a few years, I am looking to upgrade my bike in terms of power, range, and maybe go full suspension.
My current setup has the following
Pedego Ridge Rider with 48V 14AH battery
500 watt rear hub motor
Bright eyes 1800 lumen bike light
Kinekt suspension seat post
extra battery carried in pannier bag which consists of a 48V 11AH battery
two pannier bags
Ortlieb cooler on rear rack
On flat ground at a steady pace of 11 to 13 MPH I can go about 70 miles using both batteries, and both batteries equal about 1200 watt hours.
I normally ride on streets, beach paths, and mountains, pretty much a mix of all three, and I love this bike for it, and would like something for more mountain biking. What I'm looking to have is:
At least 80 NM of torque mid drive.
1000 or more Watt-Hours without having to carry a spare unattached battery (Willing to get spare battery if bike is nice enough)
Full suspension (not a must)
Front suspension is a must
local brand store support, like my Pedego which has amazing support.
I'm willing to swap over all after market parts to the new bike, seat, light, etc.
For example here is a bike similar to what I want, but I don't want to spend $8000.
https://www.r-m.de/en-us/bikes/supercharger/ close to $8000 without any upgrades
What I actually do want to spend is close to $5,000.
I ride mostly in very nice weather in So Cal.
I am 6'3 200 pounds.
What I would love is suggestions from you all for bikes I may be missing in my search. Thank you!
