sixthreezero Pave n' Trail Women's 500W 7-S E Bicycle

My wife did not like the fat tire ebike she already had. It was way too heavy. We got the Paven Trail, and it was perfect. It is almost as light as a regular bike! She could handle it much better than the very heavy (92 lbs!) fat tire bike. What makes this especially great is the 500w motor. Many ebikes in this category cheap out with an underpowered 350w motor that will not get you up a moderate hill. 500w does the job, and the battery capacity is high enough to provide all the range we need. The bike is not just a road bike. With 1.5" tires, it can also handle an improved trail (think the C&O towpath, the Virginia Creeper Trail, or the New River Trail) - hence the name acknowledges both pavement and trails. BUT, it is not a mountain bike! It is not made for rutty, bumpy backwoods trails. Another point on the weight - we can remove the battery and take it on trails that prohibit ebikes and the Shimano 7 speed shifter provides plenty of leverage. The company offers color-coordinated panniers and a front pouch that we also purchased. Pictured with this review are the soft leather handles, the bright sunlight-readable display, and the ability to use a hoist to store the bike. My wish list for the bike would be that the handlebars had less of a curve to allow more accessories to be installed; you have to buy a bell and front light, and the brake lever does not turn on the brake light. All in all, these are minor issues. Would I buy it again - yes! My wife really enjoys it!
