Long range bike

Posted by Same_Bit2000@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 10 comments

Are there any decent American made or similar quality bike out there that have the range of Victrip?

A friend has a Victrip tab I took out for my first e-bike experience.

It was smooth, quick and great range. I road about 50 miles and dropped one battery bar. I don’t doubt it’s advertised range.

His has a few thousand miles on it with no service issues, but I am concerned about buying one, as I don’t know if anyone would service it, when needed.

It was also a little small for me at 6’1” 230

Aventon Level 4. There is no such thing as an American made ebike. A few companies assemble Chinese parts in the US.

This is one I’m considering. The ADV Would still love something with range closer to the Victrip. Not sure it’s out there

Specialized has a long range. Try to find last year's model which is usually 1k-1500 cheaper than the current year.

What are you looking for out of an ebike, a pseudo car replacement, just a weekend warrior bike, & the price range?

To the post above, that is why I am hesitant about a Victrip. Seems to be a rare bird. Not sure if it’s a low quality china or not. As mentioned, friends has been trouble free for a few thousand miles. I am an older guy that wants something comfortable that I can ride a couple hours a day to get some exercise. I want as much range as I can get so my daily rides don’t become monotonous. In Fla so mostly flat other than some bridges and overpasses

A few of us have similar needs, basically the groups are clustered in giggers (doordash, etc.) and folks who want to do extended touring, or those with extended commutes in hilly areas. Hard to find a real US or euro vendor, 99% comes out of China. Most of them that have extended battery are going to be the moped or emoto style frame (with a banana seat...not comfy over the long haul) but there are a few with decent range and quality. My browser's UI is a little borked this morning, hopefully the table below renders (or at least maybe cut/paste into excel) but here's a list of the bikes I currently know that have at least somewhat extended capacity
