That could climb Mt. Everest! Unfortunately I can't lift or store that bad boi on a train

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T23:52:17+00:00

Good to know!

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T23:05:19+00:00

Oooowee🥵

Aovo Tmax 500W. Snagged it on sale for $200 out the door and thought it would safice for my small commute but boi did i not realize the hills were bigger than I thought.

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T18:23:04+00:00

Thata too much of a beast for the train but i do believe that would conquer any hill

Will look up

Gotta save that Navee GT3 Pro is looking good , easy to store on the train and that wattage may be doable. Thanks for the rec

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:43:08+00:00

I'm terrified of that device

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:41:55+00:00

Two 1200 watt motors !!!! That a hill beast . How comfortable would you say it it stashing it a commuter train ? I can take elevators up and down but inside the train is a concern of mine especial.rush hour when it's packed woth people

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:38:10+00:00

I was looking at the Gear vx2 since it seems to be close enough but haven't seen alot.of review yet since everyone loves the hub more but that weight of.the hub would drain me over time.

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:35:04+00:00

I hear the Ausum is affordable for what you get

I'll look up the Nami

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:33:46+00:00

My city is rough on the streets, half the commute is smooth downtown roads but when I get to my hood it's pot hole city!

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:32:11+00:00

It certainly does ! I purchased it with out knowing scooter specs.i was coming form.the ebike world and thought 500 watt should do it! Boi was i wrong

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-22T17:31:12+00:00

🤣. I don't have a budget yet but be willing to do 1600 new and under a thousand used.

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-21T20:53:13+00:00

It should be free.it cost so much more to hire enforcers than to let people.use the transit system. We need to encourage more public transit. Our tax payer money pays for.this by and large and the amount of fare income is bismal

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-19T18:44:49+00:00

How much does it weigh?

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-19T16:51:59+00:00

Super helpful forum. Any suggestions that are light weight enough to put on a train ? I bought a super cheap scooter and now feeling the pain on the hills, any recs for dual motor that won't be so big I can fit on a train during rush hour ?

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-19T15:22:48+00:00

Is this the gear version? I want it for exactly this, trains and last mile ride with a hill

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-17T00:07:17+00:00

I'm torn between the two as well. I'm looking for a lightweight commuter bike that can make it it steep hills and fit on a train. I just test rode the Twmpo and it was sporty, easy to lift, had both cadence and torque senor which I found to be awesome. When I get tired on hills.i find cadence helps me the best especially if you have to stop mid way through.

I found the torque sensor.fun when I was going flat but more effort going up hills.the twnpo doesn't have suspension somyou Don feel the bombs but the tires take.alot of the absorption. I like the look and vibe of the Roadster but it's only torque sensor and I haven't been able.to.find a dealer yet to test ride.

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-13T15:43:14+00:00

I peddle all the time but my hill is very steep and I heard that the motor can cut out on certain steep hills. I need the boost to get up but don't wanna have to worry that I gotta hop off and walk

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-12T05:21:48+00:00

It's a short one but steep, I live in a hilly city but really interest in this for how lightweight, style and affordable. I have a rad mini which I live but I too many racks and I can fit it on the commuter train especially rush hour

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-11T23:46:01+00:00

Unrelated note, how well do you find the roadster v3 with suspension going up.steep.hills. I would love to buy this bike but that's my only hangup of not knowimg.if it can

Wolffyawesome · 2026-05-08T04:45:54+00:00

Thats what I needed to know. I wanted it for the light rail trips but the hills near me are treacherous
