Hi folks,
I'm new here, just recently exploring electric bikes and scooters as a commuter tool, and I need some help. Here is the problem I'm trying to solve.
My son's school commute is 2.3 miles long each way, which isn't a problem for most electric bikes or scooters. However, there is a 1-mile portion of the commute that has an elevation of 300 feet. I haven't measured the grade, but some parts are a bit steeper than others. I'm also trying to keep the cost down - he doesn't need a fancy bike/scooter with bells and whistles. I need a device that will get him to and from, and cost as little as possible.
That said, what does this community recommend? What are my options? I'm willing to explore bikes and/or scooters.
Thank you in advance!
