My wife and I both own Class 1 mid drives. We are both retired and are long time cyclists. We enjoy cycling and the bicycles themselves, so we wanted to keep it as bicycle like as possible. We have no regrets after two seasons.Just wondering what class of ebike is the most popular with members here? and the reason or reasons why you bought the class of ebike you did?

Yes, except for the old Sturmey Archer 3 speeds, many were girley in the old days. But check out the Shimano e IGH line up. And the Envioli IGH's are used on cargo bikes. I like the ease of shifting, the protection from the elements, and the ability to shift up and down at any speed.Mod drive torque to an IGH seems like a breakage waiting to happen. Especially pulling a trailer.
Are those restrictions enforced? If so, then I see your point. Also, you might fare better in national parks with a class 1. I don't want to go all politicy, but 45 did a good deed when he loosened up e bike access to national park trails. Much of that was rescinded by 46, but it might have been that there were too many wild childs on those trails.. I think you can find utubes of such idiocy in this forum. When e bike usage gets restricted in your area, you'll know why.I went with a class 1 as California has restrictions on us on the bike trails. So I have a Bafang 750 w motor on my bike today. It is a new experience for me and I enjoy riding the trails along the river today.
