E-Bike For Seniors Less Than $1,000? And Is Sondors Back From The Dead? TWR Ep 34

from The Weekly Recharge from Electric Bike Report · host Electric Bike Report

This week’s episode includes a bit of everything, from news on the political front to some intriguing new products, and even the potential return of an electric motorcycle brand. One of the coolest news pieces highlighted a new wheel hub from Shimano with an automatic shifting system and a self-charging power source. The system is compatible with the brand’s CUES drivetrain, which we anticipate seeing a lot more of on e-bikes in the near future. John takes us on a tour of Glacier National Park in Montana, where e-bikers can enjoy incredible scenery while riding Going-to-the-Sun Road. We also address recent questions and comments from YouTube and our website. Topics include the best temperature range for riding e-bikes, the effect of different torque ratings on hill climbing, and personalized recommendations for a photographer at music festivals and a simple-to-use e-bike for a rider fresh out of the Costa Rican jungles. Check out the full episode for details! Deal Links:Rad Power Bikes - https://ebrdeals.com/RadPromosMokwheel - https://ebrdeals.com/MokwheelPromosSpecialized - https://ebrdeals.com/SpecializedPromosAccessories / Gear:Pidzoom Charger Enhancer CE200: https://pidzoom.com/products/charger-enhancer-ce200Recent Reviews:Lectric XPeak 2.0 HS - https://electricbikereport.com/lectric-xpeak-2-review/Aventon Aventure 3 HS - https://electricbikereport.com/aventon-aventure-3-review/E-Bike Trail System of the Week:Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park, MontanaBikes Discussed in this Episode: Aventon Aventure 3 - https://electricbikereport.com/aventon-aventure-3-review/Ride1Up Vorsa - https://electricbikereport.com/ride1up-vorsa-review/ Aventon Aventure 2 - https://electricbikereport.com/aventon-aventure-2-review/ Velotric Summit - https://electricbikereport.com/velotric-summit-1-review/ Email questions to: [email protected]  (or comment on this video, we love comments)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/electricbikereport/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElectricBikeReportX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/E_BikeReport#podcastshow #aventon #electricbike #ebike 00:00 - Intro00:35 - News Of The Week10:05 - Gear Highlight13:14 - Currently Testing & Recent Reviews15:18 - E-Bike Trail Systems20:51 - Questions & Comments21:11 - Can you ride E-Bikes when it's really hot outside?23:01 - Aventon Aventure 3 vs Velotric Nomad 2x on climbs25:36 - E-Bikes for less than $1,000 for Seniors28:16 - Is the Aventure 3 worth it other than for it's safety features?32:56 - How's the Velotric Summit 1's torque sensor like?36:45 - Are new Aventon bikes too complex regarding tech?41:04 - Deals Of The Week43:26 - Rider Highlight45:37 - Wrap Up
