Which aspects of e-bikes do you think are the most important? Why?

[Eugene Boac]

low cost, energy efficient, and emission-free transportation....specially with just small trips to the stores

[Rick Gallard]

I would think the most important aspect would be battery life and durability!

I am interested in learning more about e-bikes and possibly owning one. So I don't know too much about them. I would think the battery life would be the most important because it would be a pain to run out of juice when you are not near a charger.

I have an eBike that I love and I like the pedal assist. I probably would not bike ride unless it's an eBike. Its funny, I hadn't rode in years before I got my eBike and I had forgotten how FUN riding a bike is.

[Christine Queen]

Ease of getting on and off the Bike.

[nashbo]

I think consistent and durable power is most important.

[bamfranklin]

I think ride comfort and suspension is the most important. With an ebike, I am likely to be riding longer and a comfortable ride makes it much more enjoyable and easier for those long rides.

[Jerome Brownell]

For me, being a wee feller of 6’6” and 380, though losing fast, it would be battery size, power and a sturdy frame. Has to be able to handle my size.

Easy to handle

Easy to handle.

[Michael Woods]

I want an e-bike that has the longest batter life possible to take my on long rides.

[Ivelisse Woods]

Having an the right balance of assist capability is important to me as I want the benefit of getting exercise while having some help on inclines.

I have trouble going up hills, so the most important aspect for me is speed. I want a powerful bike that I can get around with without sacrificing my knees on the journey.

[Peter Mogish]

For me the bike's reliability, and range are most important. Would like enough power to go 25mph on level ground, and maybe 15+ up hills.
- Also good if battery can be easily removed for longer range (2nd battery), and for recharging.
- E Bikes get expensive, so anything that can help prevent theft would be great!

Speed is important, but battery range trumps it by far!

[whippeteer]

I think range is the most important, which is a function of power and speed.

My 2 most important aspects would be battery life and speed

[AnneS]

Battery life. I'd like to ride to the office but worry I'd arrive exhausted, hot and sweaty. A power boost would make me more confident

[jliusyl]

Safety and how long battery life can last.

[Leland Lee Lee]

It really is the battery life

[Xia Lee]

It really is the battery life/range

[Jim Wood]

An e-bike is a hybrid motorcycle. Range and torque are what's important to me.
