Hi guys,
Im buying my first ebike and I think ive narrowed it down to these two. The main points it should hit for me are:
1. I need to ride minimum 10 miles 2 times a week. The main thing is id like to not feel tired on my journey and perhaps arrive at my destination a little quicker than I currently do(takes me about 30 mins), so may use higher assist levels? Im sure most ebikes cover this range anyway.
2. Weight is a big one for me, im an 8 stone female and dont really want to end up with a bike thats too heavy, I currently ride a decathlon single speed bike thats 13kg which is perfect for me weight wise. I dont mind heavier but not if its going to feel drastically different.
3. Should be folding.
4. 20'' Wheels preferably.
I am also open to doing a conversion job on my single speed bike, was thinking of getting a Bafang motor like the Furo X and converting it myself too, what do you think? Open to any suggestions!
Heres the spec pages for each:
Furo X (Max)
Volt Metro (Standard one)
My current bike - Decathlon Btwin Single Speed Folding
What bike do you guys think is better overall or more suitable, thanks in advance!
