Hi everybody,
This is my first post here and I am very new to electric bikes. I recently ordered an electric scooter bike from qelectric. The bike is called the expresso and I have a few questions concerning this product.
1) Does anybody have experience with the expresso bike in particular, or any of the qelectric products in general.
2) I plan on using the bike to commute to work and want to use the bike trails here in the Monterey area. Is there any problem doing this?
3) I have one large hill to climb on the way back home. It's the Carmel Hill. Perhaps 2 miles of more than 10 percent grade. The bike is rated for an 18 percent grade, but I am wondering if this hill will deplete my batteries before getting home. On a flat surface, with a 170 pound rider and no headwind, the bike has a 30 mile range. My commute is 14 miles round trip. Do you think the bike can make this trip on one charge.
Thank you very much for any help with these questions. I am hoping to cut my car driving by half this year and plan on using the electric bike to accomplish this goal. I don't like giving oil companies my money (they already have way too much) and I am interested in reducing CO2 emissions as much as possible.
