I go both ways so I can be a dick to everyone...because if you're gonna be able to coast, change gears, and stop, might as well just get an eBike like a fairy 🤣

I love that Amish market in Flemmington!
Their store does have electricity so I'm not sure how that works....

But do they ride e-bikes? I think if we can spot an Amish person risking Eternal Damnation for a little pedal assist on the way to the market, then we should call this thread "case closed" and move on.
 
Up in ME over the w/e, my friends have the $1,500 eChinaAmazon bike.
Pedal assist with throttle. 28mph (?)
Seems like a decent commuter option for back roads. can mostly keep up with traffic.
 
Maybe the ebike whiners should also give up there e powered appliances. Maybe go back to the rivers to wash your clothes. Give up your dishwasher and microwaves. Throw away your air conditioning because your not living the hardest life you should 🤣.

I went through the first couple pages of this thread, it was a good read. Poll still shows almost 50% of the crowd still haven't even ridden an ebike, I suspect that's changed. I was one in the very beginning that was semi anti, but the more info I read that sentiment changed. Then I decided to make the leap and never will look back. Honestly I dread the day I have to jump back on the Amish because of a mechanical. I'm one of the few who doesnt switch back and forth because I am having way to much fun on pedal assist. This bike has added more challenge terrain that my pedal bike could never take me.
Much love to all Amish or E assist because we all have the same goal!

Where do you see yourself upgrading? As in a stronger motor, better range, lighter weight? In other words, what are you looking for in your next eBike now that you have miles and hours on one?
