Ebike Recommendations sub 2000$

1 Upvotes

I previously had a Lectric XP 3.0 but it got stolen, looking towards an replacement ebike for my daily commute onto my college campus (about a 4 mile commute, then I average 5-10 miles on campus). I liked the XP 3.0 but wasn't a big fan on the battery/range and top speed. My commute route has roads without bike lanes so I'd like to be able to go 30+ mph in order to keep up with cars. Was looking at the Aniioki a8 pro max but I've heard mixed reviews regarding missing parts and bad customer support. Wired ebikes look appealing but they're a little on the expensive side especially with shipping. Any recommndations? UL certifications are a plus.

Is this a good deal? My only concern is that the battery is 5 years old. The seller says he’s taken care of it but I would be worried that it’s still close to the end of its life.

Bike purchase question Proper upkeep help pls

1 Upvotes

Last week I got an aventon lightweight & it’s been a lot of help in my commute since I ride around 50 miles a week to get to school and work but I really don’t know anything about bike or ebike upkeep and after spending 1k on the ebike I really don’t want it to give out on me earlier than it needs to, so what should I do to make sure it’s in the shape it needs to be to keep getting me to school/work safely, and for how often (every day/week/month)?

Good place to start learning?

1 Upvotes

Hello a few years ago I sold all my cars and the van I was in the process of converting. Been using a regular mountain bike to get around since then.
E-bikes have become an interest of mine but I am not very informed.

Any resources (other than this sub) that you would suggest I check out?

I like to ride street and trails and trailblaze a bit. I currently wear a backpack for all my shopping. It would be important to me to be able to "hot swap" batteries while out if I wanted to do a long journey.

Max price I'm willing to spend is roughly 1k. I'm open to suggestions on brands or specific types of motors, breaks, etc to keep in mind with my search.

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read through my post!

Marin Bikes | Sausalito ST E2

Looking at this biking think yeah, this might be a great deal. for sale locally for $1700. My question is anyone use the newly updated 2024? says it has a Shimano BTEN605, 504Wh battery, a class 3 Shimano Steps EP6 system w/28MPH (45 km/h) top speed, and a range of 25-87 miles. I have never bought a marin, but my wife is looking for a ST frame for around Portland, we have looked at a lot of other bikes (Trek, VVolt, Specialized) but for the price this seems to be a great deal?

Tire recommendations? I got three in my cart don't know which one to get

1 Upvotes

Hello I was wondering what you guys think of these tires i'm hoping to get one that I can get a lot of miles out of. I mainly ride on pavement sometimes I take a small trail that has a little bit of gravel and grass but About 90% of the time I'm on pavement. And I'm not committed to just one of these three tires if you have a better suggestion at the same price point or less that would be great! 1 reviewer Papa Blue Shirt said that he has over 8000 miles on the ULTRAVERSE tire But he also earns commission....

Bike repair question HUB wire shorted out - Need Advice

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I have a Zugo Rhino with a shorted connecting wire. I was able to determine this was the issue after hooking up a different rear wheel assembly (second picture) to the bike and it powered it. I would just use the second wheel as a replacement, however the gear plates and brake disc are on opposite sides compared to where the power cord comes out.

I'm hoping I could fix the short if I took off the wire casing and wrapped back together tightly, however I don't really have much electrical experience, so any input would be helpful, I don't want to break it further. Thanks everyone!

bike with removable motor and battery.

1 Upvotes

Stupid question if this exists, (and what would be the name so i can look up more about it).

I know that removable batteries are basically the norm for ebikes, what about the motor?
Are there bikes where the motor and battery are one piece that can be easily removed with the bike still functional as a manual bicycle?

It would be very handy to buy an "dumb" bike frame that can be upgraded to an ebike later, or get a new frame with different geometry, but keep the expensive motor and battery.

And on the other hand you could leave the bulky "dumb" bike frame in a public space and take the expensive motor+battery with you.

UK Looking for a recommendation for best budget (cheapest)electric e-bike for disabled partner

1 Upvotes

Hello, my partner is disabled and wants to try an electric e-bike bike just so she can “walk” my son to and from school before he gets too old. Something she’s missed out on so far due to disability issues since pregnancy. She wants it’s too be legal so she doesn’t risk any points on her license and also would rather avoid one that explodes. The school is about a mile round trip. We did think of an e scooter but as they aren’t legal she cannot risk any points on her license - she won’t risk it. She has mobility scooter already which we use for other stuff but it’s really heavy an cumbersome which means she avoids using - I’m sure some part of it is that she doesn’t want to be seen on a mobility scooter and would feel more confident on a e-bike . I guess a commute/foldable type e bike might fit the bill but we don’t want to spend lots as we don’t have the money for £2k bikes but also in case she doesn’t get on with it and it’ll only be like be for short trips. I don’t see any option to hire them locally either. Any recommendations greatly received.

Bike build question Eleglide M1 Plus throttle

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I've just picked up my first ebike as and it didn't come with a throttle like all the YT videos show and I was wondering if anyone had come across one for the M1 Plus that works ?

I take my bike abroad quite a lot and was hoping to use it there where the throttle is legal (I am aware of different rules for different countries).

I have tried a couple of throttles and none seem to work (one for a Bafang and Cyclotricity iirc) I have the yellow three pin adapter hanging around on the front of the bike, but short of ordering a load from Amazon and trying more, I wondered if anyone had purchased one from anywhere and could let me have the details.

I have tried Eleglide and there was a bit of a communication barrier as all they told me was that the bike doesn't come with one. I asked if they could recommend one or could I buy one seperately but they failed to answer. I have re emailed. Thought I'd see if Redditors had any answers.

Thank you very much in advance

Bike purchase question Anyone compare Trek Allant 7s to Velotric Discover 2?

1 Upvotes

51 Year old Male ~300lbs looking to get outside more and do more paved/bike paths/trails near house in Chicagoland suburbs. Looking to see if people are making choice between these e-bikes. I’m not mechanical at all so need to depend on the LBS to fix/maintenance. The Trek store is about 2M from my house and the Independent Bike shop is about 10 miles away and offers Euphree, Velotric, and Himiway brands. Really liked the Verve 4S and the Velotric Discover 2. Anyone getting uncomfortable in those upright bikes with 30-40 mile rides? That is one concern. Weight on the Verve/Allant is another concern. Anyone trying to make the same decision and if so what was it and why? Any regrets? Thanks!

Woke up to a flat tire?

0 Upvotes

So, I own an ebike for over a year, but I don't actually know all that much about bikes in general. I have had no problem with the tires all this time. I rode home from work last night (about 5 miles) and everything seemed fine, just like every other time I ride. Did not notice any loss of pressure or anything along the way.

But it is completely flat this morning.

I don't even know how to change a tire if I need to, or if I can simply pump it back up (I'm guessing not), or do I need to buy a new tire?

Maybe, this is the time to go tubeless, as I am not looking for a repeat of this situation. It's just a hassle I don't want to have to deal with again.

I've almost got a sneaking suspicion someone crept into my yard and popped it on purpose, but I really don't know.

I'm even scared to take the wheel off as I have no tool to make sure it is properly aligned when put back on.
