![]() ![]() I do use ~400 watts going up my mile+ long hill at power level 2 and pedaling to assist, so I am pretty sure I would burn up a 350 watt motor pretty quick with my commute.Įxactly tyort1, the ebike has been a great experience. I like the 750 watt motor, but as mentioned it is overkill for flat terrain. I ride in power level 2 most of the time and seldom use the throttle. I have added Big Dummy Bags to the rear and now feel confident I can carry most usual loads on the back (though I have not yet tried). I chose the RadWagon after reading review by Syonyk and looking about on EBR. The e-bike has given me 20 year old legs again. My commute has a mile+ long hill that daunted my best intentions with an un-motored bicycle. I never rode to work before (bad mustache shame). The first thing I have to say is - I am riding everyday I can to work, to the library to the grocery store. I am fat and 50+ years and I made the plunge for an bike 2 weeks ago. Personally I have a Haibike Xduro RX 29 and love it, it's basically a mountain bike version of the Haibike Xduro Trekking RX(I take my bike on trails/downhills). I believe the 2nd Raleigh Misceo iE in the list is an automatic Ebike, which seems pretty sweet. If you decide to go for one, do some research. With the Haibike Trekking RX's and the Izip E3 Protours, I'm not sure which model is better so I listed both of each. Most of them are more expensive than the ones you're looking at. I've only ridden 2, but they all get good reviews. Here are some bikes that I would recommend, So what do you guys think? Would an E-bike realistically help me achieve my commuting goals? Any E-bikers out there that could give me some real world advice and share your experiences? No debt and a solid NW for our age so money isn't a huge factor in this decision, other than trying to get a good deal and reduce car use. Gain another winter activity to stay active during the dark cold months.įinancially we are doing good. (Go from no riding to 2-3 days a week bike commuting) Below are some of the main goals I would like to accomplish with an E-Bike. Right now I have a cyclocross bike so winter riding is not an option at the time. I have never biked it in the winter and would prefer a fat bike for going through the snow. I have a 28 mile round trip commute for work that I try to bike as often as possible during the summer which turns into 2-3 times per week. I would most likely get something like the RadRover which has low end bike components with decent electric components. However, I am having a hard time justifying dropping 2k for an electric bike. This weekend I tested out several electric fat bikes and was extremely impressed. Alright MMM community, I need some advice! ![]()
