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.

Ease of getting on and off the Bike.

I think consistent and durable power is most important.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Safety and how long battery life can last.

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