Big guy. Looking for an ebike that can handle 10 miles a day.

Posted by Iatemyself-withanH@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 24 comments

Im 5'11 405 pounds. Assuming money isn't an barrier. What's a the ebike for me?

I would like something that allows me to pedal but also could go with just power. The goal is to lose weight but I also have 8 am meetings and know if I cant go auto ill give up.

Side note: My car got totaled so this would be my primary transportation to and from work which is 4.3 miles each way.

Thanks in advance!

I like the nomad for the price, but the mokwheel obsidian has the power and the tires right out the gate. One Biased dealers opinion

The Velotric Nomad 2 or 2X would be a good fit for you. They are rated for 500lbs +.

You lose weight and improve heart and liver health.

I had absolutely no side effects taking it BUT in retrospect: If the side effects were me shitting myself 4x a day and a second head growing out my shoulder that just might murder me, I would still take it again!

How far and how fast do you need to go? Are you a pretty mobile 405? Will mounting/dismounting be an issue at all? I'd almost be leaning more toward a heavy duty trike with a BBSHD mid-drive (with small chainring.) Definitely want something with good brakes.

Not for OP. He is over the rider payload max on all of their ebikes.

So what they warranty everything and dude is gonna lose weight quick also I’m 220 and use my 3.0 as a pit bike for my race car and have had well over 600 lbs of ass on it and I didn’t even have to pedal.

220 vs 405 is a huge difference, almost 2X. Do what you want with your own bike, but Lectric does not spec any bikes over 330 lbs rider weight. There are other brands that do. This is a safety and liability issue.

I can highly recommend the Velotric Nomad 2X - it is built like a big (comfy) tank.

Velotric Go Mad. I’m about 310 but I’ve been in your range in the past. I test rode this and it felt like a tank. I ended up getting the Discover 3 but feel like the Go Mad was more sturdy.
