E-Bike, I Like!
I've always been tempted to buy myself an e-bike, this one doesn't make that any easier.

Re: E-Bike, I Like!
Nah, tyres are too fat and draggy for road work and the frame is over complicated. Looks like 1940s Russian agricultural.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: E-Bike, I Like!
Faster than 32km/h is a no no on e-bike here, so slow is fine with me. As for range, it wouldn't see any long rides, just little trips around town.Comment

I would prefer suspension at that speed. A pothole at 30 is bad enough.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: E-Bike, I Like!
I think half the attraction of ebikes is that you can ride something that looks fun but wouldn't be sensible without the electric assist, an a fat bike falls right into that category (unless you ride a lot of sand or snow).
That one looks a bit like Pless's signature. Over-engineered but cool.
If I had the time and money to spare, I'd love to put a conversion kit on a Raleigh Chopper

Re: E-Bike, I Like!
I tried one maybe 5 years ago , very impressive acceleration it was on a hybrid bike so tires were not overly wide , fun zippy ride but couldn't understand the price of around $3000 at that time . I expect they will become more popular as battery technology advances and if prices come down below $1500 . Most trips people do for shopping are below 10 miles round trip so they just make sense .Comment

Re: E-Bike, I Like!
The rolling resistance on those tires would kill the battery range, they look cool but thin and hard is the way to go. I might end up with an E bike sometime too.'' You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know. ''
