I'm back on the hunt for some good-quality, foldable e-bikes! The ones we got ended up being the biggest lemons ever, so I guess we're stuck w/ them. (Retail price $1694 each.)
We want these requirements:
- preferrably 20 x 3" tires, but I know most tires aren't 3" wide...well take about 2.5" or fat tire 4"
- as lightweight as possible to carry in/out of the car
- can go a good long range...at the very least 40 miles
- at least 500w motor, preferrably 750w
- at least 48v battery, preferrably 52v
- speed in the 25-30 mph range
- twist throttle, but thumb may be OK
- comes in step-through AND non-step through styles (for each of us)
- price: nothing outrageous like $3K, but post here anyway & we'll see because we'll be getting a PAIR.
- hydraulic brakes preferred, but if mechanical, then OK
- full suspension, but at least front
- one of us needs a seat height of 31-32" at tallest
- great customer service when things go wrong
- when repairs need to be done during warranty, how are they fixed? (Have to send bikee back which we don't want, can be reimbursed if go to local shop, etc.?)
- NOT Lectric - heard bad things & a little too cheap @ $999.
- Pedego...we'll see
(We really want the Ariel Rider & Juiced later on, which we'll get someday, but they're not foldable & we can't do non-foldable where we live now...way too much trouble.)
TIA!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
