What E-bike Have You Bought | What Electric Bike Do You Ride | What eBike are You Considering Buying

I'm still considering purchasing an e-bike and have tested a few but haven't made that plunge yet. So, my question to you is, what e-bike have you purchased, or are you considering purchasing?

Last year, my team created an e-bike buying guide and since then we've been accumulating additional bikes to put into our guide. It's got a really great discussion about all the issues about purchasing an e-bike and the considerations of the different types of batteries, motors, the different classes, and things like that. But I want more information from people and cyclists who are using e-bikes and what prompted them to purchase a particular bike, what they're using it for, and why they got it. It would be a great help to our viewers if you would comment and tell us which e-bike you have been riding, what you use it for, how often you ride and the things you like and possibly dislike about it.

Tell us why you bought it, what you bought, and why you bought it. How are you using it? I think sharing this info would be helpful because it's one thing for us to find e-bikes online, look at the specs, look at what they cost, read the reviews, but when somebody tells you something about an e-bike who is riding it, I think it's more helpful. Some people use e-bikes to commute to work, others use them for leisure and I have met several people who have used them to lose weight and get back in shape. So, another question is what kind of riding are you doing, how often, and on what type of terrain.

Timing is good! I was literally looking at bike websites last night trying to decide between an eBike and traditional bike!

I actually just purchased a Juiced HyperScorpion E-bike. I'll be usung it to go to the parks, beaches, and any appointments or errands. I picked this one because of the good reputation with customer service, reliability and long distant range on one full battery charge. It is also made for the streets with safety features a loud horn, alarm system, bright headlight, 2 morriors, turning signals and brake lights.

I ride Schwinn Mendocino I use for comfortable long distance adventures, transport and commute. I recommend this comfort bike for someone who plans on riding on smooth roads. They Advertise 45 miles but ive gone 38 and still had half a battery left.
