Electric bicycle.

There are some newer tech ebikes that look great. Long range, speeds up to 28 mph, the only downside is they are spendy.

Look up Ridekick. Powered bike trailer also hauls cargo.

I bought my wife a Faulkner folding electric bike. My regular bike goes on the Fiamma rack and her bike folds up, stores in a zip up storage bag in the bed of the truck. She loves it. 20" wheels, step thru frame.

I have been doing a lot of reading on the e-bikes and just ordered 2 bikes from

https://www.electricbikecompany.com

they are sweet rides powerful motors and you can use 100% battery power and not pedal at all or pedal assists mode for longer distance.

Seems like a stand-up company with the best warranty in the biz. 5 years on the battery.

Cant wait to get it and I will be that guy zipping around the camp ground.

Update on how you like your ebikes?

I've been looking at a couple of lighter ones:
m-class by Ariel and Luna Cycle folding mini. They are both around $1600 so spendy. Luna bike around 38 lbs and m-class about 50 lbs.

Anyone else have feedback on lighter weight e-bikes?

Thanks,
Dave

85 mile range? I'm skeptical.

But here's a test from LoLoHo on YouTube.

I suspect they get products free, so there's rarely a negative review, and I don't always agree with them, but they're a real world test report.

Having the battery removable to lessen weight while loading, as well as replaceable would be a big deal. It also makes it a target for thieves, so taking it off would be a good idea.
E-bikes are a practical solution for those of us who can't haul a scooter, and they're the rage, so many companies will come and go. I'll wait until it sorts itself out a year.

I'm not sure what type of E-biking you're looking to do, but check out https://www.embn.com/ . These guys are hardcore mountain bikers and they're primarily talking about high end mountain E-bikes, all north of $5000. The bikes they test are in the fore front of pedal assisted E-bikes, not Chinese crap. I'm not ready for an E-bike yet, but I can see myself on one when I'm in my 70's. The technology should be sorted out by then and range will be well over 100 miles.

I bought a Specialized Turbo Levo mountain bike. Amazing bit of kit, about a 30 mile range. All pedal assist with variable boost settings. The most fun bike I’ve ever owned. I bought a 2018 model at a significant discount but it was still pricey at $3.8k. The new models have 30% more range.

Pay attention to your states laws. Many regulate where you can ride ebikes and most have strong restrictions on non-pedal assist ebikes. Even pedal assist bikes are generally prohibited from natural mountain bike single track trails and all BLM and US parks won’t allow them on trails where mountain bikes are allowed. That limits you to paved trails, gravel roads and campgrounds.

Hopefully this will change as pedal assist bikes become more prevalent. CA and Canada have much better laws as does EU.

I have a Rad Mini I bought in May and bought a Rad Rover on black Friday. RadPowerBikes.com

You would never be able to tell my pedal assist bike is assisted. Never had a problem riding it anywhere. With the power off it’s a regular bike.

This looks good.

Bought my e-bike last summer. It's a RadCity. I also have a picture of the carrier I use in my van. The RadCity can also be transported with this carrier. The carrier is a Saris brand and fits in vans, SUV's, or pick up trucks.

bought a 'Towney' from a bike shop while staying in Melbourne Yacht Harbor this past winter. had it back three times because the pedal skips. Still skips. ABSOLUTE JUNK.

This is an older thread versus some of the new bike ones but worth reviving.

Have been casually looking at folding Ebikes for the last couple of years. I have an older conventional basic Mtn bike (Diamondback) but it's heavy, not easy to travel with and for some reason my leg is not wanting to swing up and over as easy as it was years ago.

Considering an Lectric E-Bike folder. It's a local company so I could try it out, it looks like it will fold into a plastic tote for storage and travel and it's budget friendly. It also has a step thru model for ease of getting on.

Everytime I don't take my bike to a rally I wish I had it. Having signed up for Wyoming I hope to pedal/buzz around the large facility.

Do any of you have a "Lectric" brand.

I understand and feel your pain..... I just bought a Specialized light weight last weekend, booking one for my wife. They weigh in under 30 pounds...but find one is the problem. She needs a step through in small, not showing as available until next March. Will still pay for it.
Next question is how to haul in the truck bed as I have a tonneau and bed liner.... all part of the travel adventure.
Regardless, I find at my age and work load if I want to ride a bike I had to ignore my younger ego and get one.
Good luck in your search.
