Hey guys!

I’m currently riding a Linus Dutchi, which has a step-through frame, an IGH shifter, and swept back handlebars, and I absolutely love it. I ride it to work and back twice a day, putting a minimum of 5 miles a day on it. However, I would like to be able to bike further without getting all sweaty, so I want an ebike.

I’ve been advised against converting my bike into one (the rear forks can’t accommodate a hub motor and it has rim brakes), so I’m thinking I’m going to need to buy a pre-fabbed ebike instead. I know I want at the very least a mid-drive motor, a step through frame, and ideally swept back handlebars (though if that’s something I can install afterwards I’d be okay with that, this is effectively my car lol).

Do you guys have any recommendations?

    That doesn’t look too bad! That’s well within my price range, my car costs like $600 a month to operate (gas, insurance, maintenance, parking, etc) so anything that keeps me from needing to buy a second car will be significantly cheaper in the long run.
