Looking for a light weight e bike. Currently have free go hawk

[Kanwalhaq]

Hi. I have been riding an electric bike to work for almost a year now but I find it’s difficult to pedal my free go hawk without electric assistance. I am looking to upgrade to a lighter weight e bike so that I can ride back home without electric assistance like a normal bike. Which bike do u guys recommend.

Ok then, Juicy Ticket or Woosh Faro or Orbea Gain.

One of the low power assist lighter ebikes such as the Gain might work for the way home.

But I suggest you try one first to make sure it has enough grunt for the way in.

Your other option is a Bosch bike, which has better engineered control software and a more of a push bike feel than the Chinese hub bikes.

Sport setting on the way in for a decent amount of assist, and eco on the way back for a very limited amount of assist but still not 'difficult to pedal'.

Once again, give one a try first.

As a now experienced ebiker, it shouldn't take you long to decide which bike will work best for you.

Bafang has the M800 out for nearly a year, it weighs just 2.2kgs and looks very smart. Lots of lightweight bikes have it now.
Aikema comes out with their M65M, also 2.2kgs and is nearly identical to the M800 but at half the price.
I am tempted to fit one to my Faro.
