Hello!
This is my first post!
I have spent several hours searching for the "best" electronic Mountain BIke for my needs. Initially I was turned off because having not done a deep dive on the subject I had assumed Stealth Bikes and HPC were pretty much it and spending $12 to $15k is out of the question. This was steering me toward a Dualtron Thunder scooter or possibly a Works Electric. That said, I did not want to discount the bike option as it truly is more versatile....so I did a deep dive (well, 5 to 6 hours of poking around)
I want a bike that goes 40mph+ and can do about 50mi under moderate stress in a charge. I also want it to look like a bike as much as possible. Price $4500 to $7500 max. This lead me to checking out the about including Vector. While Vector is damn powerful and has one hell of a range, the looks do not do it for me. The Neematic looks great, but as of now is vaporwear and I will be purchasing within a few weeks time.
The Qulbix Q140MD is my #1. From reading reviews their mid system has been done right and has a ridiculous amount of power. It also appears that is the way folks would prefer all of them to be made so the weight is balanced with no weight attached to the rear wheel. That said, the fact it only has one gear is worrisome incase it craps out on a trail....Can you still pedal it? What would the resistance be like?
------------------------------------------------
All in all, I *think* this would be the best bet. Can anyone chime in a build quality and overall support from this Company? There does not seem to be to many of these around (or any brand for that matter) in this price range.
I am looking to be on pavement and light to moderate trail riding. This seems perfect. So far I have checked out and landed on the Q140MD after looking at Stealth, HPC, LMX, NYX, Neematic, Luna, Vector, Cyclone, anything where you have to put it together yourself. I want turn key. I am open to other brands as well, but feel like I covered many of the top mfg out there.
Thank you!
