I’d like to start looking for an e-bike. The primary goal is something off-road capable. I’m thinking simple trails and sand.
The next goal would be portable: if it can break down a little bit so that I could get two inside my small SUV instead of on a bike rack that would be ideal.
Edit: for those stating to look at my local bike shop, the closest is 1.5 hrs away and is Trek-only. There are a few other dealers also around 1.hrs away.
What price range? What continent?
Myself I’m in Europe and wanted cheap-ish one with more or less those qualities, and bought one from a Chinese seller who has a European warehouse (so they send it from within the trade area so bo import taxes, unlike if it came from China.)
Got to fix it now as I crashed a bit last year, and buying spare parts can be challenging if the parts aren’t standard. There’s not as much torque as in some, but the speed is great for me.
I’m not gonna bother linking some random Chinese store though (the model was Bezior M26 and I paid ~800e), but more information might be warranted if you want some direct suggestions, I’d say.
