They went over to Nm because there was no way American lawmakers would know what it meant
While it depends on what part of NH you're in, and how much assistance you need, but I have a 250 watt Shimano, and it's a bit wimpy for when the going gets steep.
Put it this way, I am thinking about getting a new ebike, and something stronger is on the list.
How about telling us if you're looking for a commuter, hybrid, drop bar or mtn bike. What the budget is, and the sorts of riding you plan on doing.
Oh, and what bikes you can get from dealers in your area. Gazelles are nice, but do you have a dealer in your area?
