Have been riding for 25+ years. Road and mountain. After renting my first ebike in Portland Oregon 2 weeks ago I am hooked. After tons of research, I am so overwhelmed with info I am ready to scrap the idea and keep riding my Pinarello Paris. I am very close to A Juiced ccx. I rode the specialized Vado 2.0 but felt like it was causing "drag" at higher speeds. I think the bafang rear hub is where I am heading. Want to commute to work 40 miles RT. Roads in Vegas are pretty smooth. The main concern is the heat here in summer 105+. There are soooo many bike choices and it seems like if I wait a year they will be better and cheaper. Any advice is appreciated. Like I said. Class3 is what I want. Juiced ccx and the surface shred 604 are in my buy list. Want to stay at or under 2500 bucks. The shred is the only bike I can find with decent shifters and rear derailleur. Sram x5. I am a 200lb guy who rides 150+ miles a week.
