What To Look For In A Quality E-Bike!

[@TrojenMonkey]

I didn't learn anything from this video, other than: "I like this bike, I don't really like this part about this bike". That's it? That has nothing to do with what the title of the video is about -- What To Look For In A Quality E-Bike. The title should've been: "My opinions about 5 different urban E-bikes".

[@grantp4022]

totally agree with you, and I was thinking the same.

[@davidwade8874]

I'd like to know what you think is best for someone with back problems- i'd assumed more suspension will make it a softer ride and even walking a misjudged step or unexpected jar is hard on my back?

if you do some serious riding a bike from an actual bike company will be hugely better. less risk of it turning into a fire. also much better quality, will last you years to come. brands like Specialized, haibike, trek, canyon, cube come to mind.

[@Wombles_Wanderings]

I'd prefer to buy a known brand, but want to be able to use a throttle. I'm not bothered about top speeds. I have a motorcycle licence and would happily pay for insurance and wear a helmet, but there really doesn't seem to be anything that suits .

[@nickgrant5800]

Kicking bikes over?..Anything on Average distance per charge? Top speed? Functionality? Difference between bikes? - This review was pretty grim mate. We need to know what we are buying, not what the bike looks like, we can already see that.

[@TheThunderdome-il3ez]

One of the MAJOR reason for owning an e-bike is disability or partial disability. If you have dodgy joints, heart problems, or have other medical reasons for having difficulty with a "normal" bike, then e-bikes can go a long way towards getting you (back) on a bike. This is great for health, and fun. I know "real" cyclists like to look down on e-bikes as "cheating", but for some of us that's the only way we can enjoy cycling again.

[@Barneyrubble241]

Absolutely. I'm 61 with heart problems. I tried riding a regular bike but my heart went nuts. The only way I can ride a bike is to use an electric one. I'm in the market now and I don't give a RATZ AZZ if "real" cyclists think I'm cheating. I just want to get out in the fresh air and have some fun. I've got 2 fingers for anybody who tries to make me feel bad about using an electric bike.

[@Javed1982]

I have a medical conditions where I like to ride electric bike and can't get enough. Am I eligible for ebike? 😂😂😂

[@michaelvincent8306]

[@Barneyrubble241]

@@michaelvincent8306 Sorry to hear that. We all have some kind of issue as we age. I've been walking a lot and really enjoy it, but I'm looking at the bike as more of a hobby and not exercise. Definitely not going to be a speed demon. I have no illusions of the damage that will occur to my 61 year old body should I crash a bike even at slow speeds. Just looking for some fun and maybe meet some new people. Stay safe Michael

[@comedyman112]

[@davidroberts6594]

OK, you may not like the cheaper ebikes- but lots of us cant afford the expensive brand name stuff- seeing these brand new ebikes being kicked over is really dissapointing. I don't care how cheap of something I may have I still take care of it and would never just kick it over like trash.

Glad to see you turned over a new leaf. I've only watched 1 other video of yours and it had me quite upset. Not everyone has 4-10,000 dollars to spend for a bike. I got my wife and I a pair of e-bikes for $3,200 for both. That enabled us to be able to get out and get some exercise and fresh air. We are in our 60's and the electric assist of an e-bike is the only way we could get out and enjoy biking again. And even with our limited income, this was doable. This video was very informative and enjoyable to watch. I have liked and subscribed. Thank you. 🙂👍👌

Im looking for a commuter bike mainly for work and getting rid of my car as 90% of my travel is just to work or the grocery store and these costs of gas/insurancr/repairs is insane for what im using it for. Id also like to travel to my parents and siblings with it (aprrox 25km away) from time to time. Im relatively fit (i dont mind doing peddle assist). My budget is roughly $2000. Do you or anyone else have any recommendations for what im looking for

[@ScrapKing73]

7 speeds is all you need on an e-bike? You assert this but then don’t back it up. I don’t understand that thinking. 7-speed shifting is of very poor shift quality. If ups actually want to pedal and stay fit, you might aspire for more.

[@randomtrendz]

Exactly I need 21

[@ScrapKing73]

@@llegedly I suppose it depends on where you live, and how you ride. It's quite hilly where I live, so very few people opt for single speed bikes here. For me, I like to keep my cadence in a very particular zone (90-105 RPM) so single speed is a "hell no" for me.

[@BruceGordon925]

[@albertocastillo4572]

Good Video Josh, quite informative for people that are just looking for a cheap ebike, but as I bike mechanic I want to share the caveats of owning these almost disposable bikes: 1-Weight, these things are heavy and for some reason marketed for elderly people telling that the big tires offer stability but in reality are not easy to handle at all, and come with sub optimal brakes for the weight and speed of the bike. 2-Lack of spare parts, your LBS will be hard pressed to find some of those tire sizes, wheels, hubs, forks etc so when the axle breaks or the hub motor fails be ready for a trip to the landfill, and don't get me started with the electronics as none of these bikes share a common controller unit/battery/motor. 3-lets be real about the cost, a "cheap" 2K bike that may last you one year of 2 is not really cheaper than a Towny e-bike like the Specialized Vado, or a Cannondale Adventure neo that cost 4k but will last you longer and have factory support.

[@chrysflower]

I was curious about annual maintenance and how these bikes actually fare over several years. Buying online may be tricky because of that and whether or not the parts are available and how to fix if you aren’t a DIY’er. I was looking at a higher quality bike from a US company called Electric Bike Company. I’m more inclined to buy their product. It seems like so many companies are out there

[@jameswright7923]

Sometimes it’s better to have more gears especially if they get lower. Try biking back 30 miles when your battery goes dead and the bike with those fat tires and allready weighs 77 pounds plus yours self. Nothing like pedaling 300 pounds for 30 miles. Lol

[@davidd6510]

If that's aĺl they are to you pack the fastest one up and send it to me! I lost my disability income and need to be able to get across the city and arrive sweat free, maybe. Someone like me would really value a decent machine to get around. Simply put I can't afford what they want for ebikes!! I'll pay shipping and maybe a bit more for your time to pack it!

[@akrocuba]

I just purchased a zeegr 2000w, duel motor e-bike. With bad hips riding was getting painful. This bike is outstanding. Well built, even though it came from Chine, and vet comfortable. My buddy uses his for hunting and has pulled some pretty big deer out of the woods with his. These heavy duty e-bikes are for more heavy duty uses in my opinion. Mine also have full suspension that really helps out on the trails and in the woods. I can still go for a great ride and not have to worry about painful hips anymore.

[@waynethebarber1095]

what do you think of Puckipuppy ebikes for 3 or 4 mile commute to work and back....

[@elultimo102]

I'm considering an e-bike, due to the fact that it's almost 10 miles to the shop where I get my car fixed. That's a long walk, so I'm thinking of a fold-up, to fit in the back of my car for the ride home, and to get the car.

[@DeathCab4Cutie]

Keep away from these big tyre ebikes. Instead, go for a bike with something like 20 inch, 2.3 - 3 inch tyres. Weight should be 30 kg, (or less). For a decent ebike, you would need to pay upwards of $1,000. Just remember, you get what you pay for !

[@edgartokman4898]

All nice bikes nice tires too. A regular road bike is still the best bike there is like the o'ne Lance Armstrong had.

[@sjanzeir]

Actually, I would say that the BFIsport is by far the most versatile of all the bikes in this video. Though I'm not a fan of 3x (not 2x as was said in the video) drivetrains, in this particular case, it's good to have that kind of range - with that kind of low gearing - for when the battery runs out in the middle of a purposeful ride, like, say, the grocery run; at least you can get home under your own power. Also, the "controller in a bag" setup allows you to strip the bike of all electric components, swap the hub motor rear wheel for a regular one, and turn it into a regular fat bike - if you're so inclined, that is. Which leads me to the third point: imagine how easy it would be to modify this thing!

[@Yeet42069]

The only bike that needs front gears as well as back gears is a mountain bike and that is only if you are using it for the purpose it was made for. And even in that case the only advantage is that you can make the choice of shifting between a big gear or a small gear instead of shifting 2-3 times making it faster and more useful during an offroad experience. 7 gears is enough for most normal bicycle's and landscapes, and more than enough for an ebike who has access to out of the ass power. If you find your range lacking due to running out and having to peddle something heavy, you're much better off buying an extra battery than going through the cost of changing the drivetrain for something stupid that is still as impractical as it normally would be due to the roll resistance of your tires.

[@ericb.4358]

I needed a CARGO e-mtb for hunting. I found the E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown ad the best bike for my purposes. TWO wheel drive, dual suspension and two batteries.
