Hyper Bicycles E-Ride 700C 36V Electric Commuter E-Bike for Adults, Pedal-Assist, 250W Motor, Blue

I LOVE this bike!!!!! I've always been a bike enthusiast, but am now older and not as confident about how far I can go, and I struggle a bit with really steep hills. I noticed that I wasn't riding as often because of that. So I decided to try this bike. I can't say enough good things about it!!!! I am now able to once again get in a really good workout, with the motor providing the assistance when needed. My son easily assembled it in less than an hour with only a couple of easy adjustments needed, which were the back brakes and 6th gear. I am a 5'10 female, so it is a perfect size for me, but might be a bit too big and heavy for someone smaller. I noticed in the reviews that many people complain about the comfort of the seat, but I wear bike shorts and find it very comfortable. I only ride on pavement and wouldn't recommend it for bumpy trails as no shock absorption in the rear of the bike. It was a bit of an adjustment to go from a 21 speed to a 6, but well worth it! I added a bell and small pouch to the handle bar. Puddles are not an issue because of the fenders. It's also really handy to be able to speed up quickly when there are traffic challenges on busy roads or security issues on isolated pathways. The battery stays charged for a long time when you only use it periodically. I rode for 3 hours today and still had 2 levels of charge left. I was originally thinking that I would buy this very inexpensive model and if I liked the e-bike ride, maybe upgrade later, but I think this is all I will ever need. It's an amazing bike and the price is fantastic. My confidence in riding alone wherever and whenever I want to, for as many hours as I want to, has been restored. I can once again ride long distances and not worry about the long ride back. I highly recommend this bike!!!
