Need advice from actual ebike users
(lemmy.ml)
TL;DR: help me, Micromobility, you're my only hope
Long story short, I am fed up with the state of public transit in my city and feeling envious of the e-riders whooshing past. However, while trying to pick an actual model, I've ran into being unable to find a model that fits my needs:
- being able to drive 30+ km, with ~100 meter elevation difference between start and finish
- being able to handle 100+ kg of load (I am, unfortunately, fat)
- being able to handle rain and possibly light snow
- being foldable or otherwise transportable, because I'll have to keep it in the apartment
The Ebike store I've been to suggested picrelated, Yokamura Apache, which seems to fit the requirements, but is expensive enough to give me pause. Are there better options? Am I dreaming the impossible? Please help!
Two things:
Good luck. Have fun.
e-bikes are not at all necessarily that heavy, mine's literally a normal bike with electronics added and weighs 21kg.
I feel like a lot of people mean american style pedal mopeds when they say "e-bike".
Definitely depends a lot on the style, yeah.
Thank you!
