I've been researching ebikes for days. Things that are important to me are range, speed and quality. Quality applies to all bikes. Range is more important than speed but I wouldn't mind having it all.
I was originally going to go with the Aventon Level.2 Commuter. Seems like a great bike with a 500W (750 peak) motor and 672Wh battery. It's light weight for an ebike at 62lbs. The reason I originally didn't look at fat tire bikes is because they are heavy and have a higher rolling resistance so that would hurt range and performance. I saw an ad for one so I took a look. No problem with range/performance when there is a bigger motor and battery. The Aventon Adventure 2 has a 750W sustained motor that is powered by a 720Wh battery. This sounded pretty good to me! I was pretty much set on going with the Adventure 2 until I saw a Facebook ad for the Mokwheel Basalt. It has a 750W motor pared to a 940Wh battery. Something else that I like about this one is the wheelbase is about 5.5" longer than the Adventure 2 while I like better. I wouldn't have thought anything of that until I compared them. I do like the Aventon display better. So these fat tires can 28+ MPH and have a really good range.
My current bike is an X-treme Rubicon. It has a 500w motor pared with a 499Wh battery. I can only get about 24 miles out of it and that's at the lowest level with me providing input. My rides have to be carefully calculated. I'd like to be able to do 20-25 miles in each direction without thinking about it.
Thoughts/feedback?
Thanks!
