really stumped on finding a bike like this...

[sourdoughben]

Serial1 cty step thur but need a comfortable upright rider position. I sat on one today and my 71 yr old wrists just can't take the weight of a leaning forward posture. Serial 1 designed the bar cables hidden in the stem and tubing and there seemingly is no verticule adjustment of the handlebars. I really liked everything but the low handlebar height. I just wish I could find another bike made as nicely.

I don’t know much about Serial 1 bikes, but if the cables are long enough, you might be able to go with a riser handlebar. The attachment is just an example. There are many available with different widths and amounts of rise.

Height is not always the reason for too much weight on the bars. Sometimes it is the reach. If the saddle is so far aft it will put too much weight on your hands, (the old rule of thumb is to have the crank at 3 o’clock and hang a plumb bob from the bone that protrudes from the inside of your knee. The plumb bob should align with the centerline of the pedal). Bars that are less wide or more swept will lessen our reach and allow you to sit more upright without having to increase rise.

For the price of a Serial 1, there are lots of choices. You might consider looking at Gazelle, Yamaha, Specialized or Trek, but if you really like the Serial 1, I would go back and see if the seat is positioned correctly and see if a handlebar change is a good option.

This is one of the most comfortable e bikes I've ridden, Electra makes some pretty nice stuff. Cushy ride, nice riding position , no issues with hands ,shoulder or neck.

I bought my most recent ebike from Alibaba, on Black Friday, upright riding position, dual batteries 30Ah total, 750w hub motor, hydraulic brakes (which activates the rear brake light), 5 PAS levels, smooth power output/engagement. $1662 delivered to my door two weeks ago.
I just pulled it out of the box yesterday and put about 10 miles on it today in windy condition, below 40 degree F.

very nice

Great looking bike! Is the battery locked in place, or just sitting there?

 

[munirider]

That's an interesting bike.

It looks like it is a mid drive but it's a hub drive. So what's inside the black cover behind the cranks?

Then it looks like the battery is located in the front tube of the frame but there it is behind the down tube. It looks like it is just sitting there in the frame but not locked in.

I would say look for another bike that fits you better. To buy a Serial 1 bike at their prices and not have fit you doesn't sound to me like a wise decision. Their E Bikes like the mother companies motorcycles are very overpriced, IMHO.

Yes, the compartment around the crankset is just housing the controller & wiring for the dual batteries.

Two batteries, one integrated into the downtube of frame the other sits behind the seat tube. Original picture have the battery sitting just off the mounting bracket.
