Shiny black handlebars of an e-bike with a small digital display at the top of the stem. In the background is the green bike lane marking of an intersection where the bike is safely stopped.

I’m hoping to replace as many of my grocery and around-town trips with a bike, and I tried out some e-bikes yesterday. This was really fun.

@Lutheran Great to hear! I’m really happy with how good it felt. I’m a longtime mountain biker but this is a whole different and empowering thing.

@alans Did you settle on something? I recently had the same thought about an e-bike and took the jump. So far it has been totally worth it, but I know my first e-bike won’t be my only e-bike.

@Winship I haven’t decided on one, yet. The shop I visited sells all Bosch drivetrains and controllers, so I could compare across several styles with a lot of common elements, including their system 3 and 3 controllers. I think I’m with you: my first one will only be my first one — I’m eager to prove it out and get the whole family eventually on board. What are you riding?
