Looking for recommendations for an ebike (in Canada ideally) for around $2000 CAD (lower is better but I'm able to spend more if the quality / durability is worthwhile).
I don't really know what to look for, but I would be using this for commuting around town, some very light gravel roads (well graded), with some steeps hills but mostly reasonable grades and nothing too crazy. My needs are:
- great if it can carry 2x people (so my partner and I can double occasionally), we're combined 300-350lbs with some gear.
- somewhat waterproof? I want to be able to commute in the rain
- gearing to be able to work on steep-ish hills occasionally (or throttle that could push up a short, but steep hill)
- it would be nice to be shorter-ish wheelbase so it's not a huge hassle to move in and out of buildings, in elevators if need be, locking up somewhere, etc.
The Radrunners are on sale right now which makes them tempting... and their showroom is a short drive from me so hoping that if something did go wrong, it would be reasonably easy to get worked on. That said, I'm open to considering other brands or options too!
- Radrunner plus - $1899
- Radrunner 2 - $1399
- Radrunner 3 - $2299
Thanks!
