OK....I see a rabbit and I gotta chase him down that hole!!!!...........so.....here's something about me and my wants.
I came here do explore the world of ebikes. Have not yet ridden any ebike but I'm this >I I< close to retirement and I've gotta have one. (Much to the chagrin of SWMBO)
I will be riding......
NW Denver metro area.....the 'burbs
Streets
Paths....gravel and paved
A few trails
Grocery store .....backpack or small basket size loads
Slightly hilly
Minimum range....25 miles
Removable battery desired
Mid drive <hahahayouafunnyguy($)
NOT 'fat tire'
Probably not a folder
Reasonable manual drivetrain (for when SWMBO takes away battery)
Payload (ME) 6" / 190 lbs
Class 3 desired but.....
$1900 limit
I'm mechanically adept BUT want to be close to electronics repair for whatever bike I get.
