e-bike that look like a normal bike

[Tabs]

I found it's easy to spot ebike or not, just look at the wheel hub. Much bigger compare to normal push bike

That's my point,you knew what to look for

Yes,12S 32Ah in one side and 14S 32Ah in the other so good for at least 120 miles.
BBSHD fitted with 46T x 12T-36T gearing so good for 34Mph and not found a hill it wont go up.

Poor bottom

e-bikes need to be more comfortable to ride because your muscles acting as suspension don't work as much as when you ride a normal bike.

Thats the main limiting factor especially as I have a damaged coccyx.
I have a Selle split saddle with Suntour NCX seatpost on my MTB which works well and I can do 100 mile rides on that.
I decided to try the original Marin sadle and seatpost on this bike for its first ride and was amazed to find it even more comfortable than the MTB setup so kept that and done quite a few 100+ mile rides now without problem.
I do stand on the pedals for a couple of miles during the second half of the ride and use throttle to give my bones a rest and it works well.
The only problem being if you hit a pothole without front suspension it gives the wrists quite a shock .

I was thinking to get a seat post suspension for my aerobike but found the size is a bit rare. 26.8mm seems for US market only. Common seat post size in UK seems 27.2 onward.

I totally agree with you on that Kinninvie and thank you for your genuine thoughts.

Why do you want a normal looking bike, just get one with a big battery on and then you won't miss out on all the people that call you a cheat.

Just joking with you. Good luck looking for a new bike and enjoy
