Class 1 eBike Recommendations

Hello everyone, me again...now seriously considering buyin a new Class 1 ebike versus putting a kit on one of my bikes.

I'm set on Class 1 for various reasons, weight, laws on trails and my first ebike being an avid cyclist

Want something "all road" that can do light to moderate touring.

These are two bikes that have caught my eye so far:

Reasonable price, and not too heavy. Hub drive. I have inquired about getting an extra battery, which is pretty expensive. The one size fits all is a bit concerning but I'm 6 foot tall so probably would be OK.

FLINT | Lightweight City Electric Bike for Urban Commuters | Mokwheel

This is a new bike soon to be released by Walmart. Good specs, weight and mid drive, which is a plus if I want to use another set of wheels.


Ozark Trail 700C Rebel+ Drop Bar Electric Gravel Bike, Class 1 Mid-Drive, Large Frame, Fits Riders 5'9"-6'3", Black, Adult, Unisex, Online Only - Walmart.com

On paper there are a lot of things I like about the walmart bike, including being able to buy a three year all inclusive warranty. The components are very good for this price point.

There is one positive review on the new walmart bike on youtube, It will be released in April.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
