I have been debating which bike to buy. I live in a mostly flat area, but some steep hills are a challenge. I want it to commute downtown, but there is not a lot of secure parking in down Philadelphia and a full size bike would make it harder to bring into buildings.
I want hydraulic brakes, suspension or sorts, torque sensor, 750 W motor, at least 48V 14.5AH battery, 26" wheels, and ideally a folding bike. Also, ideally integrated battery. The sondors smart step foldable frame and tire size is almost perfect if it wasn't because it's only 350W motor and the mechanical brakes.
My top contestants are
Juggernaut 750W DUO $1600 w/ shipping. (Cons: No foldable, battery replacements maybe expensive, heavy at 70 Lbs +)
Fat Bear750S - $1750. (Cons: More than what I want to pay and not full size wheels or torque sensor)
Qualisports Beluga - $1400. (Cons: motor is only 500W, small battery. No torque sensor. Pros: Easy to roll)
Ride1 Up LMT’D - $1695 to 1795. (Cons: Not foldable, no fenders or front light. Almost...)
I am sure I a not aware of all bike options I am not aware of, I would really appreciate it recommendations in my price/desire rate.
Wallke X2 Pro or Wallke X3 Pro - $1599 to $1900. (Cons: Mix customer service reviews, shipped with different parts than advertised. No torque sensor, 66 lbs)
RadMini Step-Thru 2 o RadMini4 - $1500. (Cons: smaller wheels, no torque sensor, no integrated battery)
Stark drive advanced - $1500. (Cons: No torque sensor. Importing from Europe taxes?)
