I have the same cost savings thought as you a few weeks ago about the SLA vs LifePO4. However, my conculsion is that SLA is a little too heavy. It is losing the fun for biking since pedaling become harder. Eventally, I will not pedal any more if I get a SLA. In this case, I told myself if I get...

Thanks! This is a great tool which I'm looking for.

Hi all, I'm new to ebike and I would like to purchase one to help me to pedal thru the slope to my home since i'm not allowed to get a scooter :cry: . My total commute is about 2.5 miles but there is about 1.5mile with a "sorta" steep slope (see the link in below). I would help to pedal a...
