From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.
Whatever you get put a suspension seat post on it if it doesn’t have one. I’ll never ride a bike without a suspension seat again. It’s relatively cheap and easy to swap out the post but I’m sure a local shop wouldn’t charge much to put it on for you.
I got a Lextric XP 3, it was pretty cheap but it’ll get up to 30+mph and can handle well over 20 miles of range if you keep the pedal assist at like 3. I got a second charger to keep at work so I can just keep the pedal assist maxed out and not worry about range. It is foldable but it’s a heavy bastard, pedal assist does most of the work while riding but going up stairs is a pain if there isn’t an elevator. It also has a fixed seat post with some stiff springs, they do nothing, suspension post made all the difference. Overall i’d buy it again at that price point.
