85 and bought e-bike 6 weeks ago. I have been riding about 10 miles a day but when I return home need to go uphill. The e-bike makes riding so much fun so now I can travel more miles. E-bike was a great choice.

I’m 61 and I bought my ebike just over a year ago. It’s changed my life, instead of sitting on the couch I’m outside riding around San Luis Obispo,California. Over 2000 miles on it now.

Hey good for you! Age is nothing but a number. For me personally from a young kid into adulthood I have always loved biking. Biking in general is an inspirational, healthy hobby. The adventure is what has always inspired me. The e-bike gives me the same feeling of excitement & adventure. My fav aunt whos in her late 60s loved riding too but could no longer ride with me due to her arthritis And that was her worst fear turning into a couch potato and becoming unhealthy. Until I got her an ebike.. and the ebike actually got her back into shape and helped overcome her arthritis and if anything probably slowed the progression down. It really helps her ride because of the power of the motors. It's almost as if she is more healthier now because of the ebike compared to when she was riding a regular bike.

I'm over 65, got my first ebike a year ago. I've put over 700 miles on it already. I have a fat tire 4"x20" wheel 500 watt, 1,000 peak watt hub motor. I rarely drive my truck anymore, costs pennies for 60+ miles of riding. I do all my shopping on my bike using saddlebags.

The throttle is a big help when starting your ride with the relatively heavier ebikes , when crossing busy highways, going up a steep hill, or when you get a little hot in the Florida sun where I live. I do 90% of my riding on pedal assist level one, the least help by the electric motor. I had cervical surgery a few months before buying my ebike. I was concerned I might be able to ride because. I believe when starting the bike moving is a more likely time to fall and the throttle makes it safer. I like having the throttle even though I don’t necessarily need a throttle. Riding the ebike has greatly improved my balance, even when I’m not riding but when I walk also.

I just turned 68 and bought my first e-bike. It’s built for off road and trails and I love it. I can get as much of a workout as I want. I can make the ride easy or hard and when I get tired I can use the motors to make it easier. Hadn’t been on a bike in probably close to 50 years but only took a few times to get used to it again.

That's the kind I have, but it works well on roads as well. I did upgrade my seat, as my bottom was getting sore on long rides, but e-bikes have a large 'FUN factor' so you need to get use to the features, know to lower your gears when coming to a stop, and lowering 'pedal assist' levels as well, if you plan on using them right away. Braking using both levers together, and making sure your foot/toes can reach the ground when you have to stop. My helmet has a red blinking light on the rear of it, so folks can see me at a distance, and I often wear my yellow jacket, again for visibility purposes. Ride safe, and you'll ride again in no time after enjoying that 'fun factor' mentioned.

I'm in this age bracket and went looking to test ride an e scooter. Sure they're fun but limited to throttle only mode (I was a little concerned about the small wheel size too). I really wanted a machine that e-assists as little or as much as I want, providing a proper workout and not find myself struggling home. The shop offered me an e-bike (just entry level) for about the same money as a scooter, and I've been hooked ever since. The combination of a surprisingly well made cycle with an easy changing gearset, front suspension AND a motor assist ticks all my boxes. It happily takes me along trails when I want to. I'm discovering cycling all over again!

I'm right there with you. 63, started riding motorcycles at age 15. I've had Hondas, Yamahas and Harley's, loved them all. Unfortunately, the years have caught up with me, bad back, shoulder, reflexes and balance not as sharp as they used to be, having some struggles handling the weight of motorcycle and just not feeling safe on them anymore. Never thought I'd see the day, but reality can be an unforgiving mistress, and she doesn't suffer a man's wishful thinking. So, wife and I are going the ebike route. It'll be good to get back on two wheels, in spite of the fact that they won't make a low rumbling sound, lol. Good luck with your new adventure.

I'm 65 and I wanted to get outside more. I bought a folding Brompton. It's a nice bike and I love how it folds up so that I can put it in the trunk of a small car (Mazda 3) and take it to where ever I want to ride. But I can only handle it for about 20 min due to a back injury. A friend bought a fat tire E-Bike and I tested it out ... it was great and rides so much smoother. I just got a WTVA Hebe 1.0. ... it's super fast. The Brompton is probably going up for sale!

E bikes also weigh sometimes twice the weight of a normal bike. Mine weighs 65 pounds and my non e bike weighs 30 pounds. So if you are not using the peddle assist you are pushing sometimes twice the weight.
@sixthreezero

True, but you can also remove the battery to reduce the weight if you want to ride your ebike like a normal bike. Also, on flat ground, paved surfaces most riders will not notice any difference between an ebike and standard when riding without motor assistance.

A couple of questions, I don't think anyone else here has asked yet... Is 28 mph the top limit of automatic "street legal"? or do these require any type of registration/licensing/insurance with the DMV? Also, in Idaho (and similar states) where the "Idaho Stop"-type laws have been enacted, do these qualify as bicycles for that purpose? or are they similar to mopeds/motorcycles, because they have partial motorized power?
@sixthreezero
@sixthreezero 2 жыл бұрын
28 mph is legal top speed for Class III ebikes. You can reach 28 mph with pedal assist and if you have a throttle, the throttle can only assist up to 20 mbps. Class I, II, and III are treated about the same under the law as a regular bicycle so you don't need license, registration, or insurance. However, states are different, so we would need to look into Idaho specifically.

That was just awesome. My wife and I are awaiting delivery of our first ebikes and we really wish we had ordered them a lot sooner in the year. Probably another 2 weeks until they arrive, so very little riding season left for us to enjoy them. Watching these folks, who are in wife's and my age bracket (63 years both of us) getting on those bikes and seeing the smiles and the "Wow's" when they first used the pedal assist, made me smile and clap my hands for them. I hope you offered all 3 of them a decent discount on the purchase of an ebike, because this video is great advertisement and worth a few bucks off the price. Now, the initial thrill isn't going to be as great for my wife and I, as we were avid motorcycle riders up until about a year or so ago. We've begun to feel the weight of a motorcycle a little unsettling in our legs and our balance and reflexes aren't what they used to be. We sadly felt it best that we take the keys away from ourselves before one of us gets hurt. Thing is, we both miss riding on two wheels and being able to experience the wind and the smell of the air. We discovered ebike have come a long way and started looking into them. We decided to go for it and ordered a couple. Talk about anticipation being a killer. We can't wait for them to arrive so we can go on rides together again. I really hope these three jumped the broom and purchased bikes for themselves. They are a wonderful way to get you up off the sofa and get moving and continue to be an active part of society. It's important for us older folks to get as much exercise as we can, if for no other reason, just to keep the joints from becoming stiff and losing range of motion. Yes, you're probably not going to lose tons of weight, but you will still get your heart rate up above a resting rate and you're still keeping your joints all lubed up. My best wishes to you all. I'm going to watch this video again, lol.

Any bike shop could service them. The warranty is 365 days. The battery questions depends on many factors, like how many often do you ride, how far do you ride, how often do you charge the battery etc. I would estimate it would last several years but again can vary. Yes, you can buy extra batteries.

It seems that the extreme wise handlebars are a thing now. From experience these make bikes very twitchy for first time riders and not so practical either.

We disagree, they may take some getting used to for some, but once you get comfortable with them they keep your arms, shoulders, wrists in a much more relaxed position. Reducing tension on your joints.

My question is what if you are overweight, what bike would by best.
@sixthreezero
@sixthreezero 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Kellee, it depends on many factors like where are you going to be riding, how far do you want to ride, will you be riding up many hills? Also, overweight is a very broad term, especially since most Americans are overweight in some sense. If you are comfortable telling me more specific details I can help make a better suggestion, or you can email our company theteam@sixthreezero.com. In general our e-bikes are good for riders up to 350lbs, the motors and batteries will perform just fine under that weight limit. I hope that helps!

I'm 250. I want to get an ebike so I can get back into biking and able to get up hills without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack. Lol. I want to continue to pedel while still biking to get the exercise I need. Thanks for getting back to me.

A 500w minimum motor size would be best for you, and I think will give you the assistant you'll want up hills. You can view ours here, www.sixthreezero.com/collections/all-electric-bikes

A standard bicycle helmet will work, you can view ours here, www.sixthreezero.com/collections/sixthreezero-helmets If you'd feel more safe will something more robust you can also take a look at motorcycle/moped helmets, but they will be heavier and a little more restrictive.

How long does the battery last
@sixthreezero
@sixthreezero 2 жыл бұрын
It depends on many factors in including the weight of the rider, the terrain, topography, wind conditions and also which mode and level of assist you are using during the ride. As a general rule of thumb we say in pedal assist the battery can last 30 - 50 miles and using full throttle it can last 10 - 25 miles. Here is actually a video of us seeing how far we can go with only using the throttle, not pedaling at all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqarh3p_p8ubb5Y

So good to see all these guys having their first e-bike ride, just goes to show how enjoyable these bikes are and there's no reason for anyone to be worried about learning to ride them. They are the future, and its hear now. I've just finished my first self built e-bike (1500watt, 48volt Voilamart kit, with a 52v 20ah battery) and I absolutely love it, its all put together with love & care, torque arms both sides of the rear axle etc... About 6 years ago I bought an e-bike, it was a 'Cyclamatic Powerplus' 250w, 24v and it did about 16 mph top speed, but back then boy was it fun, and everyone I let ride it.well, they all loved the bike too... E-bikes are there for people of all ages to enjoy, it was most enjoyable watching these senior citizens fall in love with e-biking!

Sizing the feet should be done from the down stroke of the pedal, not the ground. Seems to many people ride cramped up. That can’t be good for the knees.

Great video..... QUESTION: Do you make this bike with a handle throttle instead of a thumb throttle? Ones thumb can get tired of pushing the thumb throttle on long rides.... What are the best ways to keep this bike from being stolen while parked at like a grocery store? How much cargo can it carry and what types of metal baskets can be attached to this bike for ultimate cargo capacity? What is the weight of the bike? Does this bike do any ghost pedaling at higher speeds?
@sixthreezero
@sixthreezero 9 ай бұрын
We currently only make it with a thumb throttle. I would invest in a heavy duty chain lock to keep it safely locked up. Most baskets available will be able to be attached to this model. With the battery and everything this model weighs 68lbs. At the highest level of pedal assist and using gear seven, there will be minimal ghost pedaling but if you are trying to achieve speeds of 20mph or more there will be some.
