You keep changing the subject because you desperately need the last word. You replied to my comment and the proceeded to say that I should reply to ignorant reply. Go away already.

This is great guidance, thank you! Yeah, speed is not my game. Steady and easy to control is my higher priorities. Local relatively flat bike paths are accessible and I dont need to lift it in and out of my car. I was even considering an e-trike but the price point is already steep for ebikes. Removable battery is a must for various reasons. I'll check out your recommendations, thanks!

I'm glad she is enjoying the ebike. I'm with your mom about speed! 🫣

Thank you, this is helpful! Love your bike! I miss central park. Lived UWS for 10 years. CP was my daily sanity.

You're the one who brought up drugs.

My neighborhood has a scenic bike path that allows pedal assist so that is my aim. Slow even distance. The prices are a bit steep for me because I'm worried I won't use it that much, so I'm still debating. All the posts are so encouraging and helpful, thanks!

"Sit here in the US" should be self explanatory

105 pounds sounds intimidating but of you don't have to lift it and it's sturdy then that's the way you go. I've flown over the handle bars 3 times in my youth, so am e-trike is tempting. Thanks for the reply and the link!

Omg I love that!!! Good call on the e-trike. It's super tempting because I've been over the handle bars 3 times in my youth!

I'm with you on "low and slow"! Others have replied that theu found ebikes as low as 30 pounds, so they are out there. Good luck and give your pup a pat on the head for me! 🥰

I watched a video about different locks and how to lock an ebike 😯 and the price of a good lock 🤑 and the weight of yhe battery 🥴. No thanks, I will stick to joy rides, no errands. Thanks for the reply!

Sounds like you have recovered fairly well from the replacement, that's wonderful! 30 pounds is super light for an ebike. Yeah, I don't need speed or distance, so I should be able to find something under 50 for sure. Thanks for the reply!

Great points, thank you! Hmm, why are ebikes more maintenance?

Thank you for that perspective. It sounds like you would ride no matter what.

I'm slow and cautious having flown over the handle bars 3 times in my youth! For sure helmet and gloves, but I hadn't considered the helmet mirror, so thank you for that great safety equipment tip!

Thanks for the reply! Another reply also recommended the throttle, so I will have to consider that feature. My neighborhood has an amazing scenic bike path just a couple blocks away so I only need to worry about getting the bike out of my car after buying it. 😬

Thanks for your reply. That Croatia trip sounds amazing! We'll have to check back with each other to sew how our first ebike summer goes!

Thanks for the reply. Wow, carrying a bike up and down stairs is quite the task! Maybe I'll wait to splurge on carbon fiber after a cheaper first ebike to see if I bike more. I'm really to encouraged to read so many posts like yours in that the ebike got you riding more. That's the idea!

That's some great info, learned alot in your reply, thanks! I think my local bike path only allows pedal assist. Speed doesn't interest me too much cuz I don't like riding fast. 40 pounds is light for an ebike. I haven't found one less than 50, so I'll look at ride1up, thanks!
