2020 Electra

Townie Go! 7D

One of the most affordable name brand electric bikes on the market right now, priced to compete with online ebikes but offers dealer assembly, fitting, post-purchase support, and comes in two frame styles and seven color options! The high-step frame is a medium-large with 27.5" tires and the step-thru is a small-medium with 26" tires, making it lower easier to approach

Two gender neutral color options for the step-thru presumably for guys who aren't as tall or have sensitive knees and hips like me. Class 1 ebike with three levels of assist on a dimmable LED display, minimalist buttons are easy to use, limited clutter with internally routed cables, easy to use grip shifter operates the 7-speed Shimano cassette with wide 14-34 tooth freewheel

Large 180mm mechanical disc brakes provide good stopping power and are setup well, wider 2.35" tires provide comfort and stability for light trail use, extra-wide saddle with elastomers, upright "Flat Foot" body position makes it easy to touch the ground when stopped while still providing good leg extension for pedaling. USB port on display can charge your phone or portable electronics

Battery pack offers modest 309.6 watt hour capacity, efficient 350 watt nominal planetary geared hub motor is quiet but not super powerful for large riders and steep hills (but uses the battery slower), torque sensing pedal assist is natural and responsive but requires a bit more leg effort to activate and there's no throttle option. Fenders and lights are available but cost extra and wouldn't be wired-in
