Looking to make a big change in lifestyle by getting rid of second car and ebike commute to work. ~6 mile almost entirely on paved bike trail. Mostly flat. Two medium sized hills, one big enough to have switchbacks.
I'm 6' 2" and 275lbs. I need to be 190-200lbs. Ergo drastic lifestyle change to kick-start efforts.
Price point is a huge thing for me. Dont have much of a budget for this. To give u an idea my car is only worth ~$1k. I'd like to stay as close as possible to that same price for a bike.
The $700 bikes from Walmart and such don't look worth it? Based on EDR suggestion I was thinking about VoltBike Elegant. EDR says 350W motor but VoltBike website says 250W? Which is it and is the Elegant big enough and powerful enough for a guy my size? Not afraid to pedal (kinda the point) but would like edge to be taken off and minimize sweating on the "to work" trip.
Any advice is appreciated.
