I'm getting an electric bike for my father-in-law who's been wanting something that's easy to step over and take up minimal space in their house/garage.
His typical ride for them would be trips to the grocery store 1/2 mile to 2 mile away, maybe occasionally 7-8 miles one-way to the nearest fishing pier along the Bay Parkway in Brooklyn.
I ordered a $950 w/shipping, step-thru ebike, 500w, 48v 12.5 ah, about 55 lb. bike, expecting delivery next MON. Of course, I will be riding it first.
