Ok, so far this is one that is leading the pack in my choices.
Lemme have it, what do you cycling aficionado's say?
I don't plan on any rides over 8-10 ish miles so I don't think that's gonna be an issue.
I'm 6'2", 200 lb with a 34.5" inseam.

Hit me with it, what don't you like?

I don't like that you're getting one and not me. It looks great Consider it is 105 lbs though if you plan on driving somewhere with it.

That bike is junk imho, particuarly at a $3K price point: a no-name motor combined with low-end components is a terrible value

There are FAR better options available at that price; from reputable companies

Look for a Bosch motor or comparable from a recognized manufacturer

It has a Bafang motor...Not sure how that compares to Bosch but Bafang has been around for quite a while

If this is your first ebike and not something you know you want to spend a shit ton of money on, I bought a $120 500W front drive motor /w controller from china and got a $600 battery locally. Helluva lot cheaper and on a frame I like. It's fairly light and will go way over 50kph with some pedal input.

No issues with derailleurs but I could only use two of the three front sprockets.

If you're going to get an electric bike the Lightning LS-218 looks pretty sharp.

Range of 100-180 miles depending on battery option. 30 minute fast charge.

The Lightning LS-218 can hit a top speed of 218mph, which is accompanied by its crazy zero to 60 mph dash of 2.2 seconds!

I've seen a few people going down the road on those or a similar bike.

This is sick with decent components so you won't be upgrading much. But the price much more......

They have other less expensive bikes too. This looks pretty good. Definitely a more affordable price.
