I am shopping for my first e-bike with a budget under $2300 and weight limit of 50 lbs. Will use for city commuting — includes a couple of steep hills and a stretch of gravel. Also will use for weekend rides - 30-40 miles, mostly on paved bike paths. Considering new Ride1Up Roadster3, but concerned it will be difficult to service. Only one shop in my area works with them - and they’re not the best. Also considering a used but “like new” 2021 Specialized Vado SL that has low mileage. The Vado would cost quite a bit more than the Roadster, but still within my budget. Any thoughts are welcome!

First time in Italy for our family. Looking for someplace special. My teen loves history - a really old, atmospheric restaurant would be great. Or a recommendation for an agritourismo dinner — or someplace in an amazing garden or someplace else unusual or that just feel very authentic and welcoming. We love good food but don’t want anything really fancy. It’s been a tough year and we just really want this night to feel beautiful.
