Which aspects of e-bikes do you think are the most important? Why?
(08-02-2021, 05:55 PM)Nicholas Wrote:  Hello, bike riders!
Have you ever considered buying an e-bike or do you already own one? Let's share our opinions about e-bikes and their most important aspects.

  • What's the most important aspect of electric bikes and why? Is it the battery life? Is it the max speed?
  • What would you consider the most when choosing an e-bike?
  • What's your e-bike ride destination - a short trip to the grocery store or a multiple day bike tour? Who would be your ride buddy?

For me it would be battery life -- not the range, but how long the battery lasts before it needs to be replaced -- and whether the battery could be rebuilt because I don't expect a one-of-a-kind battery to be available when it needs replaced.

I think an ebike with a long battery range and that is also eco-friendly would be nice to travel more easily

I would love an ebike but would keep my classic!

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.

Have one. Love it

I love the overall riding experience, especially the comfort and long range. But everyone has their own reasons for choosing an e-bike.

Going to the grocery store is my ride so probably battery life and max speed are most important

@jenrenh, please let us know what e-bike you ride. Recently there was a lot of discussion in the forum about e-bikes, with some even seeking recommendations. So, your experience might help them..

@Burrobabe was one of the few who're looking to get a new e-bike.

So, please elaborate more on your kind of e-bike.

Thanks and take care

@Robert Miller, it would be helpful if you tell (maybe again) what e-bike you ride..

Battery life, speed, durability and comfort.
