With these specs (wants) please help me choose a bike

[runway1]

Yes, it is. Euphree is looking very like a strong consideration for me. I like the Lectric Xpress as well.

In my spec list to start (again, ignorant road biker wanting an ebike), I said I'm not a fan of 'fat tires' for a bike that's almost 90% road ridden. No real benefit in that application and plenty of negative characteristics. Given that, seems a bit less power in a commuter style with 2.1"-2.4" suits my needs better.

So, back to the commuter style with higher end power - 750w sustained, 15aH is fine, torques sensor, tires<2.5" wide bikes. Keep 'em coming and thanks again!

You do usually get a bit more torque with a 52v. system don't you?

I don't see how it would be anything you could actually feel. Torque comes from the delivered amps. That is decided by the controller which you aren't changing. The battery only delivers more volts, and thats going to be felt as speed ... but only when the differential is greatest, fresh off of a 100% charge when you are at 58.8v and falling ... you'll dip to 54.6 and below in a few miles. Its those few miles I'm after with the 52v pack.

You are right. I was thinking of how the overall system is set up. A 52v system would be set up with a few more amps via the controller, which would give you a bit more torque. It is just something I look at when comparing bikes.

52v (58.8v fsoc) 45ah lifepo4 batteries are really nice just mind this cold weather coming up.

Aren't they the same as the common Li-NMC?

1. Range is affected negatively as it gets colder, but you can still ride with them.
2. Never charge at or below freezing or the damage to cell capacity is immediate and permanent.

I keep my daily-driver bikes indoors. One in a spare bedroom behind my garage that I can heat if I have to, and one in my garage that is going to dip right down to the outside temp. This is my first full winter here and when if it gets really cold (for California) I am probably going to have to use a forced air heater I can use to blow hot air around the bike.

Oh yeah.
This was just one of those random comments that popped up in my head and i just typed it out

No problem and thank you sir! They only have two models, but I really hope they continue to grow, they really seem to take pride in building a great bike. It is shipped from overseas, but they unpack it and adjust everything in Houston before they ship it to the customer.
