New To EBR, But Not New To Tech

[TheGadgetGuru]

Just a note to say hello and to thank the folks at EBR for all that they do. The amount of information they have online is amazing! While I'm basically retired and only produce videos on an occasional basis, I've spent my life reviewing new products and technology. Allow me to tip my hat to EBR as they have developed the best database of eBike info on the planet.

I purchased a 2017 Rad Mini and liked it so much that I purchased a 2018 Rad Mini as a second bike. IMHO, I find the 2017 model fits me better as the ergonomics changed on the newer model. Yes, I'm vertically challenged and these things do make a difference. I'm in search of my next eBike and am considering various models at the moment. Since I ride a combination of streets, sidewalks, light sand and through campgrounds, another fat tire model is definitely in my future. For the next bike, since the 2017 Rad Mini will go on my motorhome and the new one will stay in the garage, having a folding bike is not that important...but having one that fits a 5'6" rider is very important. I do like to have my feet on the ground when stopped. Suggestions are welcomed and again Thank You EBR!

I would like to welcome you to our forum!

Bikes that allow your feet to the ground when stopped are called "feet forward" design or crank forward

and there are a number of ebike companies that make them. You can go to EBR homepage and then click on the category "Cruiser Style Electric Bike Reviews" and then scroll down.

This is the page where you can find the feet forward design that allows your feet on the ground while at a stop. Good luck.

Here's another example.

Hello, The Townie - Go is a great choice ! Trek bought Electra which made the original Townie so that should say something : ) I
think this was the original feet / crank forward design allowing for feet on the ground when stopped or necessary. ...Very safe and stable.

The Townie - Go has a Bosch power system , Performance Line motor, Intuvia controller, Bosch battery and a two year warrantee.
With Trek support after the sale you can't go wrong.
