I'm about to electrify my heavy utility bike to help me with hauling stuff behind me (kid, groceries, etc), and I was thinking I may try to supplement my road bike commuter riding days with some e-assist bike commuting days, and drop my car usage even more from where it is now. I'm hoping my setup I end up getting will handle 30 miles round trip on a single charge.
Hi; yes, I only use my IZip e-bike for commuting. I've put 1,200 miles on it to date (bought it end of April '16). Bad weather and laziness are the only two things that stop me from riding some days. Mind you, I did not build this e-bike as you are going to, so I cannot give any tips on that. However, I can say that e-biking is, for me, the best way to commute.
