Hey all,
I've been considering getting an ebike to bike to work instead of driving since I am less than 4 miles from my office. I live in an area of steep hills and no bike lanes (which is why I want an ebike and not a regular bike). I did a test ride of a Pedego Platinum Interceptor just to get a feel for one because I had never been on an ebike. I found that to be way too expensive and more than I need. I was looking at the 2018 RadCity, the VoltBike Enduro, and the CrossCurrent S. The steepest climb on the commute is 300ft over 1 mile and I'd imagine I'd need a pretty powerful motor to help me climb that on a bike. I am leaning towards the 2018 RadCity but thought I'd ask the hivemind of EBR for recommendations. I am hesitant about the CrossCurrent S because of the delays and how long it would take to get.
