I have an I-Zip Cruiser Enlightened (nimh) now - my 2nd ebike after a WE brushless/ SLA / hard MTB - and I'm looking for a lightweight hill climbing machine. In case it is not obvious, this I-Zip bike is way underpowered.......but a good smooth, light design for level ground fun. An ideal bike for the wife, and also very stealthy.
There are some great trails/views to be had in Granada Hills and the surrounding area. Range doesn't have to be more than 10 mi. including hills
Speed: at least 20. It doesn't have to speed uphill, just get me there w/some pedal assist without burning out.
I'm also thinking "folding" ( is Montague the only real option?),
rear drive (so I can have front suspension).
I am 5'8 130 lbs. w/ bad back so I want to have an adjustable stem and semi-comfort handlebars (more upright position).
Please give me some suggestions or comments:
Cyclone w/ SRAM hub/LiPO (will this work with their controller?)
Texaselectric w/ 35a controller / 36v Lipo
?????
TF may be too much of everything (weight, looks)
Clyte would probably be too heavy, but I may be convinced, in combo w/ Lipo.
Thanks in advance,
