I have a pedigo 500 watt hub drive electric bike. I love this bike. But I didn't know any better.

This bike won't take me up a hill. I accept that I need to exercise some more so I can ride this bike up the hill. I have spent about a month enjoying whipping around with this bike and pushing my own body and building a bit of muscle. It's been fun.

Then I hit hit a beach that was all rocks. This bike has no shocks and the second I hit these rocks I went flying and almost killed myself. The bike landing on me adding insult to injury. I realize I needed shocks.

So then I started researching shock absorber bikes. That have a mid drive, not a hub drive. That were 750 w.

I settled on an Amazon deliverable bike and ordered it. It showed up and it did not work to start off with. And Amazon wants to limit interaction with vendors. I just got the vendor email address and we are just interacting now. This bike does not work yet and I really don't want to package it up and return it, it is really heavy.

When I am done this process, I hope I'll have a usable 750 watt shock absorber mid-drive bike. Which will haul my ass up the steep hill. Which will ride through the beach rocks. Plus two more other bikes that other people can use to ride beside me on the regular beautiful paths we have here. And I will do a comparative YouTube video.
