E-Bike Question of the Day ⚡🚴 What do you think about our picks for the best electric bikes of 2023? What others would you add to it? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[@reginaldhyppolite1468]

Very well in depth! Would love to see the Hey bike Tyson next.

[@sunilkumarr8480]

Velotric thunder series

[@akay1014]

Wondering why Verve+3 Trek didn't make the list. Pricey yes but range comfort a plus. Sort of scared to order online. Then no one to maintain problems

[@robertharmon6593]

The Juiced Ripcurrent S should be on this list....

[@thethelostjs]

you must include less categories for step through/folding/fat and more categories of performance oriented bikes aka lunacycle z1, frey and about 10 other well made full suspension bikes that are under 70lb without compromising battery life, suspension quality, price or power

[@billyrock8305]

This annual Ebike review is becoming like Consumer Reports coveted yearly automobile review. ✅

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thanks Billy, we strive to be the very best at what we do! We will always keep getting better so we can better help consumers navigate the electric bike market.

[@stephendenagy3396]

Things you haven’t mentioned consistently are battery safety and service. All machines need service. Lubrication, ball bearings, suspension maintenance, etc. Regarding batteries, which ones are UL listed? For sure Specialized. Which others, if any. If not, be careful storing the bike inside. Who will repair it? Most local bike shops won’t touch an off brand e-bike. Even good bikes need maintenance. I just swapped and upgraded my drivetrain as the chain was shot. And the head tube had worked loose a little. Who will fix that? Even though these are cheap, you may be getting what you ask for! And what class? Class 1 is safe everywhere. 3 and motorcycle style might end up being restricted. And unfortunately you didn’t call out much on drive systems, esp mid-drive bikes. Hub drives are cheap, but probably not as durable as they have to spin as fast as the drive wheel is going. Mid drive can take advantage of the transmission, and perform well under massive loads.

[@Tiddiboi]

Thank you all for putting this video together!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thank you for watching!

[@mmanjin]

I was so happy to see the Electric Bike Company on the top 13 list. I purchased their Model E about a year ago and it’s an awesome quality bike that’s built to last. Their customer service is superb and yes, as mentioned in the review, their customization options and warranty is absolutely unbeatable and have many models to choose from and stand behind their product 100%. The cherry on top for me was that they are manufactured domestically in California, unlike the majority of E-bikes that seem to come from China. In my opinion Electric Bike Company is definitely worth serious consideration.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I agree these are nice bikes, but the are not manufactured in California, they are assembled in California from offshore components. Also they seem to be very generic in their design with nothing special other than their paint jobs.

[@mmanjin]

@@Hoggdoc1946 Although some parts of the bike are sourced from other countries other parts of the bike such as fenders and wheels are manufactured in California. However, the point is it's skilled American labor that designs and is putting these bikes together and not offshore labor that is often subpar, so the build quality of these bikes is excellent. In terms of design it is anything but generic especially given the number of models and amount of customization available and it's not just paint colors either. Speaking of colors, Chinese made bikes mostly come in one or two colors, which is black or white and maybe a couple of other colors. If you want a different or custom color forget it. Or maybe you want the fenders a different color from the rest of the bike. Ain't gonna happen. Or maybe you want a different brand of tire on the bike. Again, ain't gonna happen. Now that's generic and boring. Many companies offer strikingly similar models (with different graphics and slightly tweaked component mixes) that come out of one or two factories in China. Not very many offer anything unique. With Electric Bike Company you can make your bike truly unique to suit you. More companies should follow Electric Bike Company's lead and bring jobs back to the USA and support their local community.

[@lightworker4512]

@@mmanjinoff shore labor is subpar? You must be 30 or less. I’m old and from Detroit. American workers overall were subpar which is why companies overseas became dominant.

[@rschnee]

I’m surprised the Priority Current did not make this high end list for commuter bike.140 NM Mid-drive Shimano or Enviolo CVT up to class 3 etc. 🧐. And, if you belong to Costco a ~$600 discount over direct from company website. I love mine and was convinced on test ride from mega bike enthusiast friend. I imagine you can’t straight out advertise the lower price at. OST o but even still, it easily competes with the Specialized Vado.

[@WorldwideDarts]

My girlfriend bought the Pace 500 two years ago and she LOVES it. I've been on it and with me being 210lbs I'm surprised at how much torque it has. You can go into the settings and crank this bike up to a 32mph top speed. It's honestly a beast!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

So many people love the Pace 500!

[@ManchurianCounterweight]

yeah, I feel sort of screwed with my ride1up limt'd, more $$ but not better than the 700 or pace.

[@jeffsharpe2852]

I was happy to see the Ride 1Up 700 series make your list. I basically bought it for the reasons you list in your review. I've owned my Ride 1Up 700 XR for one year now and at almost 3000 miles, I am still impressed with it's power, range on a charge, and stability. It is a bit heavy, at 65 lbs. but that seems to be the tradeoff for this kind of performance and durability.

[@hockey98550]

How does it ride off road?

[@Busdathead]

Video is much appreciated especially when people are always asking me about what kind of ebikes to buy and I've told then about the Lectric if they were just going to ride for fun . So I can now direct them to this video for a wider range . Ever consider the Ariel Kepler and the Wired Freedom or Cruiser ? they are both around $2000 or lower right now .

[@SaraLoyola-k8f]

I purchased an Adventon Adventure 2 recently based off the features and price point compared to the competition. I haven't ridden in 25 years since I started driving and It's been great. I added a Thudbuster LT suspension seat post that was a great investment for my lower back. It doesn't quite get the attention of my e-scooter but everybody seems to love it. If it had front turn signals it would be pretty close to perfect. Oh well, it's still a ton of fun.

[@Busdathead]

So glad that you finally mentioned the Himiway Cruiser ! I bought one almost 3 yrs. ago because @$1500 total this bike would get take me to 30 miles on throttle only at aprox. 28mph , since I have a lot of foot pain I can't peddle much and this is my only transportation . I haven't been disappointed at all in my purchase especially when other bikes that cost more give less . If I had to do it all over again I most certainly would do it . I've just purchased a Wired Cruiser as it's been advertised to exceed 38mph and can travel up to 36 miles on just lightly peddling for $2,162 which includes shipping . My Himiway will be for shopping trips and cold weather since I have a dual battery setup and the Wired Cruiser will be for just getting out and ridding .

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I agree, I also have a Himiway they as a company have really have been expanding their reach into the e bike marketplace by developing their dealership network. They still have some work to do on their aftersale support system by setting up warehouses of replacement parts to speed repairs.

[@TheReman5000]

how is the Wired compared to the Himiway after you have received it?

[@MNMetalMachine]

I'm not that impressed by the himiway. I have had the kick stand fall off more than once along with bolts for the rear rack. The brakes are ok. I've spent money on the bike to improve the weakness of it to make it much better. Upgraded the brakes to hydraulic makes it better.

[@chrisboling2852]

I bought a Specialized Globe Haul ST about a month ago. Get 60 miles on level 1. I use the panniers for my business hauling shipments to the post office and to local customers in my town. The 20 in wheel and 3.5 in tires with the quiet tread in the center make it quieter and it’s so maneuverable! The power is unparalleled and with the throttle assist up to 20mph you don’t have to be shifting gears every time you stop/start

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Very nice!

[@lauracarpenter363]

Great video. Really helps the shopper. The two bikes I've been considering made the list and one more I'll have to check out. Quick question: do you receive any sponsorship from any of these manufactures? Other videos I've watch do a disclaimer. Just wondering. Thank you!

[@urnewmyold4913]

Great video . Only channel that really break Down the facts about e bike with detail . Im planing to get the rad power series 3+ off this video that green color is so cool to me . Does the bike come with that double kickstand from the video ? On the site it doesn’t look like it

[@2GoodLookin]

Which bike would you guys recommend for a 6"3' 230 lbs guy? Does a large wheel use more power than a small wheeled bike?

[@zardozjones]

A larger wheel uses more torque. Small wheels = fast acceleration and good hill climbing, Large wheels = faster top speed, more comfortable ride. You can consider the wheel size as the last gear in the drive chain as such.

[@2GoodLookin]

@@zardozjones Thanks, that's what I kinda thought but wanted to hear it from a pro.

[@BillBadMule123]

I Own 3 Rad Rover 2020 Bikes with over 13 thousand off road mountain trail miles No Problems at all other than routine maintenance like Brake pads and tires . I Love my Bikes

[@porterbrass]

Thank you for a FANTASTIC “best of 2023” list. I’m now considering some other options than I was previously aware of.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bikerider4326]

How many times did you attach a trailer to one? Or more to the point, which ones CAN you attach a Burley Coho XC one wheel trailer to?

[@joniboulware1436]

Absolutely fantastic presentation. In next update I would like to see the weights of the bikes noted in the comments. Also, a category for lightweight commuter would be useful. Older riders - I mean 70's and 80's can't lift a super heavy bike onto a rack. Light is meaningful even with range tradeoff.

[@UC241]

I would like to see your review on the best lowest priced full-suspension mid-drive e-bikes.

[@riskyron1416]

I'm riding a RAM Mia 1200 watt e-scooter. Cost was $1600 with 3 year waranty. Full motor use has a better than 100 mile range on it's 60 volt, 40 Amp battery. Comes with mirrors, horn, turn signals, rear carrier with trunk and a great alarm system. That locks up the wheels. It will do 56 KPH and pulls 20% hills very well. I am 75 live and ride in Costa Rica. Without Residence a drivers licese is not possible, but this gets me around very well. One thing I did not like is having to put mu feet together straight ahead so I added a 26 inch bar of 1 inch box steel as a foot rest and crash bar. Made a world of difference. There is a 4th mode locked out that will allow 67 KPH. Only 2 highways here allow for over 60 KPH and unlike the US most drivers here are 10 to 20 KPH below posted limit.

[@scubafrost2007]

I have the first Aventon Aventure that has over a 1000 miles and zero issues. My wife nowhas the verision 2 and loves hers s well.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad you're enjoying both Aventures! They're great bikes!

[@tenncutt]

Before and after photos of your Dad would have been cool. Without pics it didn't happen! Kinda surprised Lectric's XPremium middrive didn't make the list. Good video. Thanks

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Agreed 100%! We'll get a post on the website soon showing that and add a card to the video where people can go check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@randycrager4074]

I looked at them all but went with the Aniioki A8 Pro Max for $1899, 1000w 48 Volt and it's built like a tank, built solid and I'm very happy with it.

[@edgar3821]

I did the same, best ebike ever !

[@sfomann]

Please consider making a dedicated video of The Best Electric Bikes for Steep Hills. San Francisco have have really steep hills of 20-24 grade and I have test ridden Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 and others with Bosch Performance Line Speed Gen 4 and it is very hard to get up on these hills on full turbo assist level.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Great idea for a video, 20-24 hills are super steep.

[@DriverJ-N]

Don’t get any bike under 52v tbh I would try and get a middrive with 52v or dual motor with 52v or more

[@sfomann]

@@DriverJ-N That is good information to know however, most the ebikes that I have looked at including Gazelle T10+, R&M Roadster/Charger4, Trek Allant+, Specialized turbo Vado 5.0, either do not list or have a 36v battery. If you know of any please let me know in the comments. Thanks!

[@hughhunsinger6132]

ariel rider grizzly will get you up the hill

[@brandenkhan15]

Lectric Xpedition will do sf hills no prob! They tested the bike on those hills during development and made sure it would make it up the steepest hills before releasing it

[@genekied]

I've had the original Aventon Aventure for over a year now and have riden it everyday, and I live in extreme Northwestern Minnesota. The bike performs day in and day out as my daily commuter even in the most severe weather: snow, wind rain, etc. It's just plain fun to ride too.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Glad to hear it's holding up well in all the conditions! We're eager to try a bit more of it in the snow!

[@minnesotanice369]

be careful my brakes totally failed and I broke my face on my aventon

[@genekied]

@@minnesotanice369 One does have to do regular maintenance occasionally to avoid mishapes. My brakes need a fluid refill on a regular schedule, this is normail.

[@hooskerdu1]

Thank you so much for doing this video! Fortunately, the 2 bikes I had narrowed my search down to were included in your Top 13...the Aventon Aventure 2, and MokWheel Basalt. Before I make my purchase, are there any differences in performance, speed, or on the quality of components included in each? As I understand it, the MokWheel can be programmed to a top speed higher than the 28 mph of most other e-bikes. Not sure I will actually go faster than 28 mph, but it's nice to have it available. Anyway, again thank you so much for a very informative video!!

[@bluerockalot]

Did you test the PEDEGO? It is an impressive eBike and has a hefty warranty of 5 years with a prorating on the battery.

[@Smooooove25]

This is an AWESOME video...nice job guys/gal! Thank for ALL of this information, it truly helps me in my decision making process. I'm definitely looking forward to more of your in-depth remarkable videos! Be safe out there! God bless!

[@patriciashaffer9781]

Looking for advice on the best Class 1 bike! I think I will end up with the Aventon 500 you just reviewed. But this Rad City might be of interest. The price point is an issue. Thanks

[@ivanecheverria9892]

Appreciate the time and effort. I almost never see any real evidence regarding quality, warranty, serviceability and and service/support from the makers. I can’t just buy a bike at these prices based on ‘coolness’ or ‘smiles’ and your perspective on performance. Start looking at software, defects, and service experiences. Thanks!!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

The ones we've chosen from this list are ones we feel comfortable enough about in terms of quality and customer service. No company has a sterling track record (especially during covid when customer service was a problem in e-bikes nearly across the board, and we're noticing lingering feeliings even though things are much improved).

[@Queen16333]

Hi! I was leaning towards Aventon Sinc …. What do you think, compared to this Lectric???

[@KittenOverlord]

I think the apias a6 the same level and the lectric xpedition if not better. Any thoughts?

[@raisedbycarnies]

I shopped hard before buying - there were a lot of bikes I liked but only one I loved - the Velotric Nomad 1 - their whole line for me stood out above the rest for me -- just for me :)

[@steveg6978]

Battery UL rated too

[@raisedbycarnies]

@@steveg6978 One of the main reasons I bought the Velotric -- at this price point you don't always get this. I did the same thing when I bought my son's hoverboard.

[@brendadavis7322]

Just bought a Lectric XP E-Trike - would love to see your ranking of trikes. Glad to see the Lectric XP 3.0 ranked so highly - that’s the bike my husband chose!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We're hoping to do a comparison between a couple of good options soon, but the XP Trike is a great choice!

[@keithmiller6307]

Looking at an Aventon Sinch 2 vs Adventure 2, going to use it to commute, would one be more stable and easier to ride than the other?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Handling is a bit better on the Aventure.2. Maybe look at the ST model of that one!

[@richardannett2493]

I keep wondering whether I can get a good workout on an ebike with a cadence sensor. Can't quite figure this out. What do you think and how should I do this?

[@mckayhouston9334]

So this weekend I took it to Green River. And boy, it was floating over the gravel like it was so smooth. I'm very pleased with how it rides.I would highly recommend this bike to people. It's called the Eco Motion High Step Pro Fat Tire Ebike I haven't seen a lot of videos on it, but boy, it's the best bike I think I can get from my money.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We will have to look into it. Thanks Mckay

[@robertpollock8617]

You never take into account the easy of getting one fixed, repaired or dealership network for fixing. That will play a role in my decision.

[@bartholomewnathaniel807]

Great video- ALL of you guys! Personally I am Almost 70 and just now getting interested in ebikes (Man I miss California!) but as I'm retired in an urban to suburbia place and drive to- the country I need a kind of general All around bike and your video will be taken into consideration- Thanks!

[@margaretfrankiewicz5754]

Ok, had to watch the entire video-I love biking, really liked your camp bike, love the idea you are getting solar for charging, wow! Wonder if that’s adaptable towards any bike? Long range is also good. Would like to know of any biking cities in the US, where I live is not necessarily bike friendly for the most part. But best part of all? It’s not an overly priced car. 😂

[@BrandonWebb-z3v]

I have about a 2-3 mile ride to work uphill then all downhill on the way home, I need something affordable that’s appropriate, any recommendations?

[@rangersmith4652]

A little over a year ago I was "forced" back into cycling due to joints that can no longer support running. Not sure my existing bikes (road bikes) would be suitable, I bought a Ride1Up LMT'D, the cadence-sensing version, and it was just the thing to get me back to cycling. I barely ride it anymore because I'm back onto analog bikes, but without it, I might have never gotten back to cycling.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thanks for sharing!

[@martinmaddox5315]

I had 3 discs in my neck replaced and had balance issues. I was concerned that I might not be able to ride my radrunner plus that I purchased online during covid. I didn’t have a dealer near me. I’m 73 and not only was I able to ride it but it improved my overall balance even when walking. I ride it mostly on PAS 1 using 2 on windy days and using the throttle to when a little tired, a little hot after riding a while, crossing a busy highway to get across quickly. I love it, but my endurance is such that I’m toying with the idea of a standard mountain bike, no I’ll just ride my ebike? If you’re older get a step thru which is much safer to mount, and dismount especially if you need to make an emergency stop. Also you might not need it now but might in the future. Also, the radrover step thru and many other brands are so solid and overbuilt that the possible disadvantage of less strength from the folding joint are pretty much negligible.

[@AviatorGM]

A big question to ask is which of these companies is likely to still be around in years when parts (Like batteries) are needed? I have a 2008 Prodeco Technologies Phantom X ebike. Good bike, great condition, but the battery is bad. Prodeco is out of business. I can't get a battery for it. There are battery rebuilders out there, but even they seem to come and go. My first thought for a new ebike was Specialized as I've owned their mountain bikes in the past. One visit to my local bike shop and seeing the $5000+ price tags of their e MTB's made me start looking for alternatives. Thoughts on who will likely still be around for decades to come?

[@jvn8481]

How about riding this XP 3.0 on the beach, as a surf fisherman. Instead of walking to my favorite fishing hole which usually a 2-3 miles walk, this bike should take me there in few minutes riding on the surf beach sands. Do you think the default tires and power will be ok to plow me thru the beach? I am concern about the small tires side on sands, but i am older now in retirement and i need a bike that is 60lbs or less. I am searching for an ebike that can do this beach thing, best if weight around 36-40lbs, but it is great that this bike can fold and is around 60lbs. My budget is around $1000-$1500.

just bought a Radrunner 2 in the UK, my first Ebike. They were offering it at quite a decent discount as i believe they are moving out of europe, but its such a popular bike i dont feel that will be much of a problem. Of course, being in europe we have quite heavy restrictions on ebikes that barely makes they practicle, but the radrunner has the ability just to swap out the display for an eggrider that means you can get 900W of power available - to be use offroad, obviously. Havnt got it yet, but quite excited to do some gravel trailing with it - and it will be my around town transport

Thanks Roger!

[@jasondelarosa5457]

The difference in worldwide offerings is interesting. European market has so many interesting offerings that I hope you guys can review as well.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We've checked out a few, but would love to do more!

[@garangeradventures6255]

Curious about your recommendation for the best rail trail ride. Hard packed ballast and or paved surfaces mostly. My wife and I have been riding Himiway cruisers for several years and we enjoy them immensely. We’d like something lighter but with excellent range for up to 45 miles per ride on those rail trails regardless of the surface material. 😊

[@ridesharebiz5317]

Great stuff. Consumers should reach out to the bike company and ask questions about their return policy, where to service their bikes, and to get parts. Check to see if the bike company has a dealership close to your home to test ride the bike before buying it. Most importantly, check your state to confirm that ebikes are legal to use; especially if you're buying it for a minor.

[@pefernanda28]

Which one is best for carrying your dog ?

[@MAX_max_2024]

have you considered Pedal e-bike for the moped style bike? interested in your thoughts. Otherwise this is THE best video on all bikes, thank you for all the efforts you put into it!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thanks MakC! We actually just recently got in the Pedal e-bike and are testing it now. We'll see how it does in the full review process and maybe it'll be a contender for the next time we update this video.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

I was looking to get a Super73 E-Bike and came to see how it fared. Unfortunately I didn't see it mentioned. Have you guys ever tested a Super73 model, and if so what did you think?

[@gargwanderer]

Hey guys, thanks for the info. Myself and my wife stands around 250 + pounds. Can you recommend few options for comfort city rides

[@Kaeden_Hahn]

Man I love the aesthetic of the Radrunner 2 Utility, but I also enjoy the power / torque sensor of the Aventure 2. This will be my first E-Bike that I will be using for groceries, errands, and for leisure. With this in mind, which would be the best choice?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

That is so hard to choose one or the other, we love them both. Having two e-bikes isn't a bad thing right? If your primary purpose for the e-bike is for groceries, errands, and leisure I would likely go with the Radrunner series. If your want to adventure more, going off-road, climbing hills, etc... I would probably go with the Aventure 2. In a perfect world though you would really appreciate owning both bikes. Our team rides the Radrunner's and the Aventure 1 and 2 bikes daily here, including weekends!

[@joegarland2224]

Ariel Rider Kepler is better than the aventon in every category except looks. Better rack, more torque, more speed.. etc... Make sure you check out the specs before you buy

[@Ctrey97]

Great video, looking forward to the other videos coming down the pipeline!

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Thank you, Christian!

[@tll39564]

How do you rate the Troxus Trax 30/750?

[@taishamikell1438]

Has anyone tested the sixthreezero All-Terrain Zip n Fold e-bike? Any thoughts about the sixthreezero brand in general?

[@mikemischler2886]

Literally watching this from Boise Idaho. One of the best if not the best bike trails in the USA.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Many good trails out that way!

[@skowmi5681]

You omitted a very important review category, customer service. I purchased an Aventon Adventure 2 based primarily on your review but have questions about the bike and Adventon never answers the phone.

[@Ironpeddler1017]

Really surprised none of the Evelo bikes were in this presentation. I researched e-bikes for over two years before finally pulling the trigger on the Atlas. It comes with a 4 year warranty and I couldn’t be more pleased.

[@ElectricBikeReport]

It was heavily considered and likely would make an appearence on our list of mid-tier / higher tier options that we'll have coming out soon!

[@tonytesoriero1242]

I think for under 2k the Juiced rip current is unbeatable 52volt 19.2 amp hour battery 1000watt motor fenders and back rack , trigger shifter 9 speed cassette palm grips from a company that has been building bikes for a while now

[@ElectricBikeReport]

Hoping to test it out shortly!

[@SirWrecksy]

You are correct. I have bought six juiced bikes and I am at over 30,000 mi. Now I ride daily 50 to 60 mi The latest rip current s has an optional 40 amp controller and that makes a great difference too too I'm surprised juice is not on this list. I think they make the best stuff out there quality wise and value

[@stevemccormack9948]

The Electric Bike Company is quite some looking bike. If they ever decided to make a 20 inch fat-tire e-bike it might be amazing.

[@rayvelez3736]

Good job overall, glad you covered EBC warrantee. I shopped 12 years and kept coming back to EBC, with all the newer models. "before covid" I changed the cruiser bars to ole school Klunker bars to make it better for trails and hills of the Pocono Mts of pa. They also provided me with a more powerful controller and a set of gears at no extra cost. { the sign of a good company } I ended going with one of the larger battery on one of the original Model's the " X " Black with brown seat grips & Tires. Oh I almost forgot wooden chain guard, was a nice touch. they offer wooden fenders also. 🚲🍃

[@NomadByNecessity]

Hello, good job you guys did! But how come none of these bikes come with with a rear suspension option except the Revv1?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

We're all for comfort, but rear suspension is something that's more needed on your dedicated eMTBs or other bikes where you're primarily off-roading. Since many of these are functional commuters, cruisers, city bikes - or a combination of those - we didn't feel the extra cost was necessarily worth it from other options we didn't put on this list.

[@rustychace3253]

How about Troxus brand? You guys like or not?

[@halmorra]

I’m gonna get a cargo bike- pretty set on the lectric expedition. I wouldn’t mind to pay a little more if I thought one of the $2,000ish bikes was any better. But it seems from your reviews that it’s just a beast. Would I get more bike with the rad wagon or aventon abound? Or is the lectric just the way to go?

[@ElectricBikeReport]

The internal debate amongst the staff is between the Abound or the XPedition for top cargo recommendation. Abound has a better overall quality feel, but the XPedition has staggering value (and solid ride quality to boot). You wouldn't be going wrong either way, and the Wagon or Blix Packa Genie or solid options as well.

[@halmorra]

I’ve had the abound for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. I carry my two kids on the back and it is a beast up every hill. 15mph right up the hill. I chose the abound because the safety rack for kids on the back looked much higher than the lectric’s (theirs looks like it barely comes up to their hip. I don’t know how big a deal that really is but I am thrilled with the abound. wish the front carrier bin was bigger. Front shocks are awesome.

[@DevValladares]

I'm so torn between the Revv 1 Hardtail (Only because FS is out of stock) and the Super73 S2. I know I should get the Revv because of the value for money, but as a designer my heart seems to be set on just how beautiful the S2 looks. Am I being stupid? Is the Revv a no-brainer? I'm also on the shorter side (5"6') and the S2 seems to be a bit lighter to take down to the bikeroom in the apartment basement. Any advice would be amazing

[@WeSnapple]

what's a good bike that can go faster on throttle only than the aventure 2 besides the revv 1?

[@MrCancertropic]

Did a lot of research over the past 1 1/2 years and needed the right circumstances to pull trigger on a purchase. After discarding Gazelle and Trek and Specialized middrives on price alone, I was resigned to a hub drive. Discarded fat tires after looking at Aventon, Rad, Himiway and Magicycle. Decided on a commuter style based on needs and looked at Aventon Level and Ride1Up 700. Really, really wanted a Kost for the range but just too much $$. I was almost all in on a Ride1Up 700 last week when one I looked at and forgot about went on sale: the KBO Breeze. The range was a huge factor, but another was the fact my bike trail (can’t believe I missed this in initial research) does NOT authorize Class 3 ebike. Luckily, the KBO Breeze is an Uber-500W nominal, meaning you actually get 22mph and actually bump it to 24-25 with programming. Sale was able to get me a Breeze w/ 55 mile range AND an extra battery for the same price as a Level! Hope I made the right choice, will advise. But aluminum fenders, integrated front/rear, rear rack, removable battery, extra battery all for $1,700? Had to do it.

[@jimcolo]

Mechanical Disc Brakes on the Breeze??? That is a big no for me.

[@MrCancertropic]

@@jimcolothat’s fair enough. I’m strictly straight bike path and plan on very little if any road riding, so I’ll sacrifice the hydraulics for a whole extra battery. I need big range.
