I'm trying to choose a bike that will enable me to ride to and from work. It's about 20mi each way. After poking around, the iZip ProTour seems to have everything i'd like in a commuter ebike, but the range is pretty lackluster at about 15-16mi minimum.
Is it possible to augment that range on a bike like this with an after market battery mounted on the back rack or something?
Anyone have any alternative recommendations? Things I like about this bike:
1. I'm short - it comes in several sizes
2. It has a throttle. I'm a type 1 diabetic and there are going to be days when I just feel shitty and i'd like to be able to use a throttle to mitigate that sometimes.
3. It's got a suspension fork in the front
4. COBI on the 2017 - not sure if this is a pro or a con yet, but it's interesting.
