Yo so I bought a 5th wheel e-bike for commuting to and from work (roughly 10 miles round trip)
I got the bike may 8th it's may 17th so 9 day owning 8 days riding.
I have a total of 103 miles spent on the bike.
Here is my list of pros and cons for anyone looking at this bike
Pro:
Relatively easy assemble
Time to max speed is short, on flat roads I can easily hit 20mph (the max default speed) quickly.
Has light and horn
Disk brakes

Cons:
My frame cracked on the steering wheel chassis
My brakes are slipping and becoming loose. Even with the disk brakes
The battery is only lasting me roughly 12 miles I have to charge it daily which is very annoying

Overall with minimal experience in E-bikes I do not recommend this bike. I only bought it because it was listed on sale for 350$ from 700$ on Walmart (huge mistake I know I regret buying it)

I have contacted the company to see about a replacement frame/battery but I'm not sure they will help me because I bought it "3rd party"

Overall 2/10.

Hi! I tried searching this sub for recommendations for ebikes with kid seats but all I could find was recs for ebikes FOR kids.
I have a 3 year old and am looking for a ebike to ride around our neighborhood with him. Hoping to stay within the $1300 range. Best recommendations? My friend has one from Rad Power bikes but they got bad reviews. I’m being bombarded with ads for Letric Bikes but they only got a 2 kid seat and I only want one. Any recommendation is welcomed! Thanks!

So i want to buy a e-bike. I dont need it for transportation to work or school, Just as a hobby. I thought it is a good way to workout and spent the time. i live in quite hilly place so thats why i actually gonna buy one. i can use it on sharp hills, other than hills i d use mostly as a regular bike. Are e-bikes good enough to cycle if you use it just as a regular bike? What Would you recommend? and i found RKS RSIII pro x model. anybody has a experience with that model?

Hey guys.

I've followed Lectric on and off for a while. Lately I have to make a lot more short range commutes, so I'm looking into an electric bike.

Lectric currently has a "sale" (read: free accessories) for mother's day. Is it likely to have any kind of better sale for Memorial Day a few weeks away? Or is this about the degree to which their sales reach?

Thanks for any answers. Appreciate them in advance.
