I'm looking for a electric bike to buy.?

Question

I'm looking for a electric bike to buy. I need it to be affordable and able to cover alot of ground. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Electric bikes start at ~$750.00.  At that price you will get a range of about 50km (30 miles) on a 3 hour charge.  They're intended as a power-assist; very little torque but riding on level ground feels like downhill and riding up a hill feels like level ground.

I bought mine at Daymak in Toronto; they've been selling them for about 8 years and they ship worldwide.  They're at http://www.daymak.com

Answer 2

Lots has to be considered; the laws of your state, your budget, the terrain, local dealers, your ability to maintain the product,  your bicycling abilities, the total load and expected range, frame preference.

Try the following for information;

and use the Bionx 350 and the Crystalyte motors  as standards.

If you need more performance at a better value and you can do some of the installation, try

Answer 3

My second electric bike is a Giant Lite.  I am very satisfied with it (dependable) but I am not sure if they are still sold in the US.  They are very popular in Japan.  They are not cheap.
