Specialized

4.4
(12)
"Specialized Vado SL. Same as you, I do road and gravel, this is my go to work bike with small assist."
·
"The Specialized SL bikes are exactly whey you’re describing. I put thousands of miles a year on my hybrid type Vado 5.0 SL and a Creo SL Expert EVO gravel bike."
·
"I enjoy the pedaling feel of both Specialized and Tern mid-drive bicycles. I can ride either with motor off just fine, and often do. Or I can turn a little boost or a lotta boost."
·
"The Specialized (Globe) Haul ST will be on sale for $2239. There is simply NOTHING in it's category in terms of quality."

Bafang

4.4
(7)
"Bafang BBSHD for something that has available parts and information for long term servicing and maintenance"
·
"Go with a bbs02 its by far the best option, there's also so many video for how to's."
·
"Buy a Bafang bbso2 and whatever size battery pack you want."
·
"I recently bought a middrive motor + battery (tsdz8) and it fits my needs of a 35km (each way) commute. Bafang BBS02 is another similar option."

"If you’re a bit savvy, do a Bafang conversion on a regular bike, you get a ton more bang for your buck than you do buying a pre build."
·
"You can get Bafang conversion on a MTB for around £1500-2k and it will rival bikes triple its price."
·
"BBSHD - Lots of power. No torque sensor"

Ride1Up

4.4
(5)
"I absolutely love peddling the shit out of my single speed belt drive Ride1Up stealth ebike."
·
"Ride1up Revv1, unlike most E-bikes this actually feels like you have a solid machine underneath of you when cornering at high speed."
·
"Also the ride1up prodigy and any specialized, trek, canyon or other Bosch based motor."
·
"Get this one: https://go.ride1up.com/SH5U"
·
"Best bang for the buck for moped style ebike is the ride1up Rev1."
#7

Philodo

Eahora

4.3

Mahle
