Which e-bike should you buy? You asked, I answered

[@Thomas-oe4io]

If this becomes a series i want him to call it "Different spokes for different folks"

[@remixread]

I am 6 foot 250lbs and I purchased an Ecotric Fat tire bike with a 500 watt 36 volt motor. I commute 3 miles each way. I had the cable fail on the S900 lcd because they bundled the harness too short so it would create tension when making turns. I started getting Error 30. The company covered it under warranty and I was able to baby the bike back home and repair the cable temporarily until the replacement part showed up. For about 900.00 USD delivered through Amazon. I could not be happier. 18 mph throttle only and 20 mph using pedal assist level 5 in 7th gear. Thanks

[@kollow]

I'm looking in that price range. I'm 210 pounds and I'll be commuting about 26 miles round trip to work. If you think the customer service is good I may buy one.

[@remixread]

GhostCubic it took me 10 days to get the replacement part but tech support returned my call right away. But 26 miles round trip might require a second battery or bring your charger to work and recharge will take about 3 to 4 hours. Good luck

[@kollow]

@@remixread I can definitely charge it at work. Thanks for your input!

[@DilipBanerjee]

Even though I have just made my purchase decision and bought my first e-bike after extensive research, I really enjoyed your video. There is always more to learn, and I appreciate your opinions and knowledge. A series of such videos would be a great idea.

[@biffmalibu3733]

It's amazing how many choices have become available since you made this video. Dual battery bikes are available for under 1800 dollars.

[@dearThax]

I really appreciated you talking about the motorcycles for a minute. I don't want to get snookered by overseas sellers, but I would like to get into a bike that can reach highway speeds, at least for a short time. I haven't found anything in my kind of budget, so I love the advice.

[@Bolt99K]

I wish this video was twice as long, maybe consider a second edition of this video since its incredibly helpful and very well received by the audience.

[@denislostinlondon199]

Window shopping is great in a lock down.

[@gracelandone]

Supporting the idea of a series. I am just beginning to formulate the idea that an e-bike is a viable solution to my desire to rid myself of a second auto in the family, but I’m not far enough along in my research to know the right questions to ask. I’m going to avail myself of your back catalogue, but I think hearing the specific questions of others from a variety of viewpoints and your corresponding answers will be very useful.

[@nuance2317]

As a e-bike neophyte I can learn a lot from these videos. Appreciate your approach.

[@JohnEich]

Liked this style of "Video FAQ", and hopefully it'll save you some time! it's very generous of you to answer so many of these questions on email. Having covered the main contact email for a makerspace (so tons of odd questions), I can only imagine how much work that is! You rock.

[@EbikeSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnunderwood-hp8rj]

I think you should continue. I subscribed based on the advice you gave others. I retired almost 4 years ago. I spent nearly all of that time sitting on my rear. I decided I needed a physical fitness program. I have ridden a mountain bike most of my life. I haven't ridden in 4 years. Almost two months ago I started walking around the yard. We've got a pretty good sized yard. I'm up to two miles a day. I also got an under desk exercycle which I have been riding daily for about 30 minutes. I'm about to tear the exercycle up. I've been hitting 128rpms. I decided I needed an ebike. I researched for nearly a month. For an ebike I wanted one that was fun and resonably powerful. I chose the ECOTRIC 500W Electric Bicycle 20” Fat Tire Alloy Frame 36V/12.5AH Lithium Battery Ebike Rear Motor LED Display. They're saying I should hit 20mph on the flat. I'm a heavy rider and I think I'm going to get somewhere between 15 and 17mph with just throttle. We both know I'm going to peddle. My question is should I buy a spare battery and carry it for longer trips? The bike does weigh 60lbs.

[@richardtc17]

I love this format. It would be great to get one of these every couple of weeks! Thanks!

[@jermainem4340]

All your videos are great. Just purchased my Lectric XP 4/25/20. Thanks for helping me decide which bike.

[@MihailNikoloff]

I liked the comparison video for electric motorcycles you did before so I was thinking that a similar comparison video between different DIY e-bike kits(bafang, tongsheng etc.) or factory e-bikes with most common e-motor providers(Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano etc.) would be interesting and useful as well.

[@josephnesbitt2879]

Thanks, I was in the process of ordering a e kit for my wife and a tow seat for our 4 year old son, we live in a small town , east Rochester new York and they love traveling to loc library for puppet hour and feeding the ducks and I thought a ebike would be a fun way for them to explore my home town. Thanks for all the good video's and tips. From power? To wieght, price ' DIY batteries ' can't wait for my kit to come . Have a great day

[@christopherneelyakagoattmo6078]

You have any "easy to talk to" kind of attitude. I wouldn't feel stupid asking any question.

[@frogmandave1]

Great video. Really helpful advice for people looking to get onto an e-bike. I liked the style of the video a lot. Simple, down to earth, non-biased opinions. Great job!

[@Dennymolv]

This was a great video. You actually answered some of my questions. I own the Jetson Bolt and I agree with you that is more like a scooter with a seat rather than an E- bike. Keep up the wonderful content.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The bolt was suggested to me as a cheaper alternative to the Imotion P1 or P2. Interesting thing about the Bolt is that since it's a rebrand of another vehicle there are people modding them in interesting ways. One that caught my attention was the official company (Dyu) had an upgrade kit adding a magnetic sensor and pedal crank that makes it an actual, albeit minimal, ebike. I considered actually getting the the Bolt and adding at least a crank as a back up for low battery, but then I thought why not just get a slightly more expensive ebike like the Swagtron (ugh, I hate that name though).

[@joblessalex]

My mom loves her little bike. She's pretty short, so this thing fits her perfectly. I bought her one of the 20in folders and she could barely ride that. She's slowly grown in on it though.

[@tomleonard6177]

I liked this video, very helpful honest feedback. I built a converted electric motorcycle as a learning experience and am now interested in getting a motor/ controller combo that I could use to try and make a poor man's version of a Twike or EvoVelo as a home built enclosed 3 wheeler.

[@WHITELIONNYC]

12:11 Yes...that's how they get us with the shipping. The shipping is often 3 times the listed price of them item. With some items though even with the crazy shipping markup is still way cheaper than purchasing from dealer in USA. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

[@jerrytrullender1184]

I enjoy this video, I think it would be a good series to continue for those of us who are wanting to buy, but not knowing how much is to much. I willing to pay a fair price and for a good e bike. But I don’t know what is good vs a waste of money

[@davidmwade1]

I like the way you are helping people pick e-bikes! More please.

I had a Sonders fold for three years no problems, but that new lectric bike looks good too

[@JerseyStyle7]

David Klein , i have a luna cycle too( Ludacris) version 45mph top speed, i was just comparing my fold to the ebike that was featured

[@thissideofcrazy2133]

I would have liked you to include 1) person's weight to speed (maybe 2 weight ranges 150-200 lbs & 200-250lbs, or 175-225lbs &225-275lbs). I feel that would cover most people. 2) how they take different grades (I live in the mountains)

[@rob2257]

I didn't ask Micah about OTHER fat people, I just asked him about me. Lol. And he felt like my question might help others and asked to use it.

[@tomfrenza8049]

[@paulmouttet1739]

Great video, Micah. I definitely think you should continue doing these. The information is helpful and like you said can reach a larger audience. It seems you have gotten a lot of support to continue.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I watched a nightmare electric motorcycle order from a guy in Fresno, California. The extra charges that he had to pay were outrageous and the bike had nowhere near the power that it was supposed to have had. Once your are in so deep, you have to keep getting deeper and deeper to try to get the performance that you were promised.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

His name is “The Inja”

[@WHITELIONNYC]

I learned very quickly many electric: bike, moped, scooter companies, including ones here in USA post and advertise misleading specs. For example: listing that an e-bike has 750W motor when actually it's a 350W motor that can produce peak output of 750W. I feel sorry for the Inja guy. It must be a very helpless feeling. I'll do a search to see if I find the vid and watch it. Thanks for sharing.

[@WHITELIONNYC]

@@mitchellbarnow1709 found it. He's happy with it. The hidden fees is the bummer making the bike actually cost double what he initially paid.

I have the entry level Swagtron without pedals that was fine in campgrounds with smooth roads. I would not recommend it on gravel. I am young at heart but almost in mid 80’s. I would like to get the lightest weight bike that is easy to pedal but can be taken on streets as well as not so perfect trails. I would prefer a step through bike. Don’t want the cheapest, but something I can handle. It has to be put in a cargo trailer when traveling but doesn’t have to fold.

We’re new to ebikes & full time RVERS later this year. I like the Aventon 350 but everything I’ve seen suggests 500 amps. Would like American made & put together when purchased.

Hello Micah, I really like this video and I hope you decide to do more. Maybe once or twice a month you can pick out 3-5 purchase scenarios from the most generally applicable 'what should I buy' emails you've received. If so that would be great! Perhaps you could even include some e-motorcycle and DIY build-kit deals, or any other good deals you spot along the way that you think we should check out. Again, thanks for all these videos you've continued doing in addition to your work you do for the Electrek site. ✌️

I'm hoping you really take a good/hard look at what you expect to get for your hard earned cash. If you spend around $1500-$2000 for a complete bike, you will probably be very pleased with your choice. If you do a DIY type of build, you can get a very good Bafang BBSHD for about half that amount but you need to have a bike to mount it to. And you will need better brakes than you imagine right now. Wishing you the best of luck on your first purchase into this mode of transportation.

I just want to say big thank you for doing this video. I was indeed interested in swagtron and gotrax folding ebikes and you made a good education about these cheap entry level bikes and a bit of comparison between the two. I was thinking of using them for a 20km commute. Although i plan to use the pedal assist rather than throttle alone to get a work out and also extend my range, I'm afraid i might not make it since i wont be traveling in flats. There will be slight inclines, bridges, overpass and some stop and go. I wanted this folding ebikes because of storage as ebikes are usually stolen at bike lockers at my condo. Also bringing them in trains would be a less hassle as some people could be upset on people who bring bikes on trains. Lol. Big thanks again for the vid. Hope you can make some more.

[@Leonardokite]

Indeed when the sun comes out it is bright my friend (watched the whole video eh') This might get a bit long, but I promise you it will be worth it. I am an old dude who was 6 foot 243 pounds and decided I had better get my act together I started with just diet and beer reduction, but that isn't obviously this channels forte. When I returned to my recumbent bicycle I was averaging about 4 to 5 mph for 15 minutes. As I moved on, a 10 mph average with 15 mph speeds quite common. (PS: 188 and dropping little by little, but still 6 foot😄 Old people background: ones reflexes are slower and the attention span is not always (rarely LOL) quite, as sharp as when one was younger like you Micah. All that to say that I was getting pretty nervous about catching a front wheel edge and taking a smack at 15 mph. Which leads me to.......... Tricycles! Purchased a tadpole recumbent trike and my only disappointment is that I didn't do it many years before. There is stability along with the most comfortable ride you can imagine. Recumbent bicycles were already my go to so the added stability of the trike, and shall I say go kart like fun, sold me. One caveat is: that state ability is only at reasonable speeds. You don't lean the machine into a turn with a trike. You can roll them. Of course sliding in surprise gravel tends to be a lot easier to recover from than a two wheeled cycle. Anyhow, an EVO trike to me would be the ultimate for an old dude who wishes to get in shape and yet travel in the short term, the price tag is certainly considerably higher. One more thing, is the scooter type bikes. If you look at the physics of the high center of gravity, small wheels, and short wheelbase, they are a disaster waiting to happen as far as tumbles. When I was your age, it wasn't a second thought. You better believe it is for me now LOL. With luck and grace you will be here some day. Anyhow, Thank you, I totally enjoy your upfront and candid reviews.
