One has to hire an experienced ebike assembler !

75 yr old guy coming from a 26 lb carbon road/trail bike looking for something that will work well on streets & mild trails, is comfortable, easy to peddle, under 45 lbs & will fit into the back of my car. So many options & new bikes coming out every month. But since so few have a dealer network opportunities to ride them are far & few between even in a major biker city such as Seattle. Current leaders are the Propella C9-V2, Aventon, Soltera.2 & Velotric T1 ST. But I can't find a Velotric within 2 hr drive. Frustrating!

I like the style, and these low prices defy logic. The white color looks like a ghost bike roadside memorial. I agree their other colors are better.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

"Ghost bike roadside memorial" is one we haven't heard before 😆Did you have a favorite from their other colors?

[@Mike-or8qv]

lol "ghost bike roadside memorial" 🤣

@@ElectricBikeReport the two dark matte colors make it look less like a cheap beach bike and more like an omafiets for transportation, but just having lots of color choices is nice.

I guess I got a weak budget because $999 is not friendly to my budget....

[@ElectricBikeReport]

There are a handful of exceptions, but yeah, a thousand dollars is generally the starting point for a non-sketchy e-bike.

I really like this bike. It fits all my criteria. My one concern is I’m moving to the top of a hill with a 7% grade for a half mile, if I do the straight shot. (There’s always room to make my own wiggle route, of course.) I’m a-ok with using my human power. However, I don’t want to be pooped everyday. Would you recommend this bike?

[@antonioiniguez1615]

I'm trying to decide whether I should get the Ride1Up LMT'D V2 or the Aventon Pace 500.3

[@markrhuett]

This would make a great comuter bike.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

It has some potential so long as you don't have a lot of hills.
