Okay folks, hold onto your handlebars, I pulled the trigger last week on my 2nd ebike in two months, a 20" folding Likebike (Sunny model) that was basically on clearance on Temu for less than $300. It has a 36V 10Ah battery and a lower wattage motor but it can definitely keep up with my other 48V higher wattage motor ebike on my hill of pain at the park.
Three PAS settings are more than enough for a cruiser on paved surfaces. And it really throws me back in the seat when I hit full throttle.
So, I guess the moral of this story is don't be afraid of a 36V ebike with a lower wattage motor if you are an old fart or younger fart who likes cruising on paved roads and trails. I only had it set on PAS #1 when I hit my "Hill of Pain" inside the park so it could obviously handle a steeper hill.
Keep in mind that I am pedaling like crazy when going up hills, so I am doing most of the work in 1st or 2nd gear. My garage space is limited since I live in a shared garage condo so I can fold this up, if need be, and put it in the trunk of the car or in the back of my truck in the driveway.
