Here's my bike
BADAZZTEALCOBRA. I tried to keep it as normal bike looking as I could by hiding all of the electronics in the bag, which I already had because I use my bike to commute and need to take my work stuff with me.
It's actually ridden so it's pretty dirty. This bike is probably half the weight of all the ebikes out there, unless you go $6k+ bikes and it's probably still lighter than those too. It's not SUPER straight forward because you do have to be a little clever figuring out how to mount the pedal assist sensor and magnets that it uses to read but you also don't have to do that. You can mount the throttle on the handlebars and just use that to give yourself assist whenever you need it. That's what I elected to do even though I did mount the PAS sensor, I ride it normally most of the time so I just throttle on when I need the assist up a long hill or if I need to go super fast to get through a light or something. Or if I am running late for work I just put it at full assist and fly.
The other day I rode all the way to St. Charles from Plainfield 28miles and got there in a little over 1.5hrs. On a regular bike not only would that be incredibly boring but would have taken forever.
I just love the option of if I don't feel like pedaling I can just ride it like a scooter all the way to work and have plenty of battery to get home if I want to do the same.
These are called handle bar jacks, VERY useful, I thank myself every time I use these things. It keeps your "dash board" from getting smashed up when you flip the bike over to change a flat.
