TL;DR: help me, Micromobility, you’re my only hope

Long story short, I am fed up with the state of public transit in my city and feeling envious of the e-riders whooshing past. However, while trying to pick an actual model, I’ve ran into being unable to find a model that fits my needs:

  • being able to drive 30+ km, with ~100 meter elevation difference between start and finish
  • being able to handle 100+ kg of load (I am, unfortunately, fat)
  • being able to handle rain and possibly light snow
  • being foldable or otherwise transportable, because I’ll have to keep it in the apartment

The Ebike store I’ve been to suggested picrelated, Yokamura Apache, which seems to fit the requirements, but is expensive enough to give me pause. Are there better options? Am I dreaming the impossible? Please help!

    Also, I made your post featured so you can get more responses. Good luck, there are lots of solid bikes out there, try to stick with known brands. Ideally, buy one from your local bike shop so you have a place to get warranty and maintenance work done.
