Help me shop for an electric bike/scooter!?




effexorz


I'm really on the fence about exactly what I want. I live in Berkeley, California, and I really don't know what I want, except that it should go at LEAST 18-20mph, and have at LEAST a 10 mile range per charge. Pedalling combo might be good too, but I'm not sure. Give me as much concise information as you can.


Answer
It depends how much you're willing to spend. I owned one (in fact I'm currently trying to sell it) that had a range of about 13 miles and top speed of 20 mph that initially cost about $1300.

Now I own one which has a range of 30 miles and top speed of 50 mph which cost $3600.

I also owned an electric bike which would have worked well in Berkeley (that's where I went to college, btw) and only cost $350.

The link below has user reviews of electric bikes/mopeds and should be of service.

Whats the Best Dirt bike out there? Easy 10 PTS!?

Q. I do not care how much the price is, it has to be a dirt bike/ or duel. Please tell me the brand,Price,CC, year, and MPH


Answer
KTM 530EXC, full up racing bike that comes street legal. price varies depending on location but around $8,000-8,500, 510cc, 6 gear wide ratio transmission, electric start. ~12 inches front & 13 inches rear travel, right at 251 lbs, top speed with stock gearing slightly over 100 mph...

I have personally owned over 50 off-road motorcycles dating back into the 60s, raced MX, harescrambles, enduro, cross country, etc. and my competitive race bike of choice that I currently own is the KTM 520 & 525 EXC from a few years back... very hard to beat for the majority of off road riding to be done... not set up for MX/SX with the wide ratio tranny & softer suspension necessarily but as I get older, I do that type of riding less and less. if I did MX more, I might opt for one of the newer fuel injected CRF450 or KX450F over the KTM EXC...
