[QUOTE="dranrab, post: 5316635, member: 22803"] The first consideration is what kind of e-bike would you want? Full suspension, hybrid, city bike? There are a lot of different styles. The heart of an e-bike is obviously the motor. I recommend a mid-drive over a hub drive. Like most discussion over which is best, which e-bike motor is the best can be a contentious topic. Bosch, Yamaha and Shimano are the brands I trust most. Power, range and modes are all considerations. My wife's is a 400W Bosch. It is fantastic. Do some reading and research on the various motors to see if one offers something the others don't. Brand really doesn't matter. I do recommend 400W minimum. I would not get an off brand motor. There are different classes of motors too. They are designed to assist up to a certain maximum speed. The frames of all of the major manufacturers come from just a few different plants. The parts they hang on them are are all similar at a similar price point. My opinion is that bike brand doesn't matter. A good dealer may matter. My wife's bike is a Civia city bike. Her bike is fantastic, and I would recommend it, but they shut down. There are still some out there [URL]https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=94632[/URL] I still haven't gone to an e-bike, but will at some point. They are a flippin hoot!
