FAQs
Which motor type is better—hub or mid-drive?
Hub motors are affordable and low-maintenance. Mid-drives climb better and feel more “natural” but cost more. Ride hills often or want maximum efficiency and range? Choose a mid-drive. Flat city routes on a tighter budget? Go hub.
How much battery range do I actually need?
Multiply your typical round-trip distance by 1.5 to cover wind, cold, and hills. For daily 10–15 mile commutes, a 500–700Wh battery is a comfortable baseline.
What tire style should I choose?
- Paved city → 700c/27.5″ slick or semi-slick
- Mixed paths → 27.5″ × 2.2–2.6″
- Sand/snow/loose trails → 20–26″ × 4.0″ fat tire
Class 1 vs 2 vs 3—what’s right for me?
- Class 1: pedal assist to 20 mph (widely allowed on paths)
- Class 2: adds throttle to 20 mph (very convenient)
- Class 3: pedal assist to 28 mph (fast commuting; check local rules)
Which frame style is the easiest to live with?
Step-through frames are best for frequent stops, cargo, or limited flexibility. High-step frames are stiffer and suit taller riders or those who prefer sportier handling.
