What bike BEST suits my needs?

[Dominic]

While the following is what I'm looking for, I understand it doesnt exist and trade-offs will happen. I would like a bike that is foldable, durable in all its parts, maintains speeds of 20mph, manages cold weather and has the option to install tires for snow, bearable rideability in the event of no battery, has a superior battery life, easily switched out battery, integrated lights and phone mount.

I need the foldability and durability first. It will be used for about 60 miles per day and folded many times. However, weight isn't too much of an issue as long as it can relativly easily be put into the trunk of my car. The battery isn't super important as I can just purchase back-ups, but I don't want to need to switch a dozen times during the day, and the more I switch it out, the easier I would like it to be. I could live with a slightly lower speed and the roads I'll be riding on -should- be plowed. Rideability - I'll be using the motor almost exclusively, so it's only for emergecies and not particularly important either. Intergrated stuff I could go without and just add later if needed. But the less I have to trade-off the better.

I know almost nothing about electric bikes, but I was considering the MOAR 24/7. What are your professional opinions?

Look at the Tern folding ebike. Expensive but well built.

That Moar 24/7 is a pretty interesting looking bike. Certainly seems to tick a lot of your checkmarks.

I'll second Tern, they have some very good stuff. Good ebike builder imo, their product are VERY well thought out.

You could also consider the Kutty from Biktrix. It has a throttle though (I personally prefer pure pedelecs). Using the throttle significantly reduces your battery range. But it's got pretty meaty tires and I think checks off everything on your list.

You want 60 miles in snow per day at 20 mph, throttle only. I'd say you need a Chevy Bolt.

I'm a bit confused on your requirements....you mentioned "It will be used for about 60 miles per day and folded many times." and "Rideability - I'll be using the motor almost exclusively, so it's only for emergecies and not particularly important either."

So do you intend to pedal at all? So your looking for an all terrain bike that has the range of 60 miles,not pedaling? but fits in your car? Can you elaborate a bit more on your needs? Am I reading something wrong?

I agree with the Tern they seem like a solid company and specialize in the folding bike stuff.
