I'm close to getting an E bike. I wanted something with a good range, good weight capacity, assisted speed under 20mph, good torque to climb hills, and a good support network of bike shops in the USA.
I liked the Specialized Vado, but their assisted speed exceeded the legal limit for bike paths around here (20 mph). I also liked the Trek Verve Plus 3 and the Allant Plus 7, but their weight capacity (Bike Plus Rider) put me over the 300 pound limit. I like several Cannondale models, but their Newton Meters seem to be limited to 50 on their Class 1 machines. (Do you really need more than 50 Newton Meters of torque to deal with hills?) Any suggestions on a bike that ticks all the boxes?
I'm a newbie with most of this stuff.
Thanks for your help.
