So I bought my First Ebike. Paid 1200 for it. I Just thought no point in spending TONS on my first ebike. Living in the middle of no where. Closest Ebike seller is a Good Hour drive away.
There are Just SO many choices out there. Of course every review of Every ebike is always positive. No way to know how well the bike does long term. So I just looked at reviews of customer service, along with looking at the web site. Can I order Parts and such. Pulled the Trigger on FreeSky. Then just started Upgrading, Ya know, new seat post with shock absorber. Seat, Bla Bla Bla. Goodness the cost of all the upgrades. The one upgrade I am so happy I got is a rear facing camera so I can see whats behind me all the time.
I gave thought to what I want out of my Ebike. I decided I want everything out of my ebike. I want to jump on it and take off, sometimes at night, Im a Third Shifter. The biggie was able to just take off and do some distance riding. Living in a small town in the mid west, there are lots of places to travel to. So I bought a Spare Battery, a nice bag that will not only hold a spare battery, but few tools, and tire repair stuff and a tube.
The final step was to find a ebike forum with lots of activity. So if I have issues with my bike, maybe one of you good people could help me figure it out. The closest ebike shop is an hour or more away from me, and I dont own a truck. I even bought a bike stand that I can use to work on my bike. Flipping the bike over to change a tube or tire can be a chore, So I bought a nice stand that will put my ebike in the air.
