Well I’ve saved my pennies and I now finally have enough to get an Ebike. after HOURS of watching youtube videos, reviews, etc. I think I’ve narrowed my choice to these two options.
-
KEQJSK Electric Bike 1000W Motor. The things I like about it. It looks like a traditional bike. and it will fit on a bus’ front bike rack. But it only comes with a 48v 15AH battery. But with the savings I would make up on this I could easily buy two extra batteries. And it’s the lightest of the two. My other choice is

Wallke H6 Pro. Now I’m a heavy guy. and this bike is designed for the heavier rider. Plus it comes with a 40v 40AH battery pack. And you can upgrade with an extra internal 20AH battery so you would end up with 60AH total. at HALF the cost of the other 60AH models, the Aniioke A8 Pro Max, and the Eahora Juliet. Plus I like the fact that it folds into a somewhat compact size.
The downside to this model is you can’t take it on buses, although I can take it on our local subway. But with the range this models provides I wouldn’t need to take transit as much. Another downside is the weight. This thing is HEAVY. it comes in at 90lbs minus the battery.
So those are my current choices. Which would you choose?
This one does look interesting.
[edit] Guys, I’m 350 plus pounds. This thing has a 250 watt motor. I would crush this thing.
It’s 250W nominal, it likely peaks to over 500W given that its torque is 45Nm. That’s quite a bit. I’d be more worried about the strength of the frame and especially wheels (spoke failure, etc). It’s got a 300lbs weight limit. I doubt the other ones are stronger in this regard though.
One more thing, I looked again at those bikes you linked, the Wallke almost certainly doesn’t have a 1000W motor. 1000W motors are bigger than that. There’s no magic for packing more power in a small package and if there is, you won’t see it on this bike. The other one also looks like a standard 250/500W hub.
These are 250W, 500W, 1000W from left to right:
The last one is typically bigger than the standard disc rotor.
