Electric bikes?

satellitemike · Jul 23, 2019

OK so with my pending knee surgery the dr. said riding a bike would be good rehab. Anyone have any experience w these things? Would also be fun to ride around w the wife on the weekends to lunch and maybe a bar or two! Did a quick google and holy shit they can get expensive quick!

What kinda surgery are you having?

the new Specialized Creo is the latest and greatest. Introduced at TDF. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-creo
Really the first road bike that doesn't look like a Electric Bike. Variable Assist. 28 MPH top speed. These things are going to wreck my KOMs......

We have a couple and they are a blast. I don’t think my partner ever pedals though. Ours have 5 levels of assist or straight throttle plus 7 speed derailer They also fold up. We wanted folding so when stopping at rest stops or truck stops they would be inside the Jeep out of sight.

I have had a couple pedego's for about 10 years, they are awesome. Mainly ride at beach were wind is always a issue and they work great. I peddle mine mostly with a little throttle assist, my GF don't peddle at all. Sweet pedego is about $2100.

you looking mountain or road bike? If I had the free cash, I would have an Intense Tazer in my garage. 29" front tire, 27.5+ rear tire. The electric boost allows you to climb easier and enjoy the downhill more. If you want to get an Intense, there is a 10% discount code of their website if you use PulpMX10

Road bikes to putz around with the wife doesn't sound like the right fit.

This, however, does. Those are versatile looking even though I'm more of a beach cruiser type.
Been considering getting a rear wheel hub and battery for my cruiser.

They're stupid expensive. I've been wanting one for a while now. I've had my eyes on the ones on bikesdirect.com I just can't pull the trigger.

If you have a bike you like you can rehub the rear wheel and add the battery/control elements for way less. That's what I'm thinking of doing.

RandyH · Jul 23, 2019

I put this Bionx on my wifes Catrike two years ago. 2600 all in. Less the cost of the bike of course.

Now you can buy a whole bike for that much. Prices on these E bikes are dropping like a rock.

Ive been thinking about a full suspension my bike forever. id like to see one of those bike direct bikes in person. The intense tazer would be awesome. Id consider the giant trance E bike first, since its a bit less money.. check craigslist too. Id be reluctant getting one with the hub, because of the quality of the wheel...

footer · Jul 23, 2019

The most trouble free solution is a bike with a Bosch built motor/battery/control system. Multiple bike brands use Bosch systems. I'm not saying there's no other good systems, or that Bosch is cheap, but they have the best quality hands down. And the best service if there ever is an issue.

ive seen the kits to rehub one but it seems like a pain in the ass to get it done. I have a roadbike and 27.9 hardtail....ive always wanted a FS bike but a nice yeti, Santa cruz, or marin were way out of my price range. Ive read really great reviews on the hal6 which i still want but still cant bring myself to drop that coin on a weekend warrior bike. The only reason i started looking at electric ones is because i saw they finally offered an electric FS mountain bike and its almost a no brainer to spend the extra cash to get that over the basic hal6

I just hooked my friend up with a new Specialized but it was 6k https://www.specialized.com/us/en/mens-turbo-levo-comp/p/154386?color=239518-154386

If you want something cheaper, check out my buddy's company out of Florida. He is a good dude and has great reviews.

One of my website clients (and fellow boater) sells one.

The site is not done yet, but here is the link to the one he sells...

Stick with Specialized they have this nailed and have been through many generations. Good dealership network and warranty. Both street, cruiser and the best e-mt bikes.

So You hooked your buddy up at full retail?

For real rehab maybe you should ride without power, it is good cardio also.

I’ve had 3 meniscus operations and ride a regular Mt bike all the time on plenty of gnarly stuff. You’ll rehab fast. Just take it easy and listen to the cautions about blood clot prevention.

LOL!!!

You obviously clicked on the store link? I just threw that price in there cause I had no idea what to put. The store is not fully functioning just yet, and as the site owner is headed to Powell next week, the website is pretty much that last thing on is mind!

Lemme text him and try to get a price...

rivermobster · Jul 24, 2019

The bike is on special for the moment at 899.00.

He is actually IN Powel at the moment with no internet. I'm lucky the text went through.

I fixed the price in the store as well.

They look like like fun to take camping

Addmotor.
Some people don’t like that there is no real store everything is done online. So no face to face resolution if an issue arises.

Price seems reasonable but the bike looks way to short for my frame, 6'7"

I bought one of these. Great bike and only $1700.
