I'm a cyclist and ride about 6,000 miles/year, so I'm not against using the pedals to go forward. My issue is that I work 34 miles away from where I live, including a fair amount of long hills. I love riding this route but it just takes too long by bike. There's also a ton of traffic in my area, so driving takes a long time too (although not as long as cycling).
I'd like to build or buy an ebike. I'd like a bike that:
1) Doesn't look like a dirt bike. It doesn't have to completely hide that it's electric, but I feel like bikes like the Stealth Bomber get a lot of attention
2) Can go 35-40mph top speed
3) Has a range of 40 miles (not necessarily at 35-40mph the whole time though)
4) Has the ability to pedal. As in, I don't want a Zero Electric Motorcycle
This is mostly for commuting, but I think it would also be a fun toy to ride around town.
Any suggestions for reliable pre-made bikes that fit what I'm looking for?
