Hello,

I am sort of in the same situation. I want to get an e-bike to commute.
It is about 6 miles each way (all flat - but with some strong head wind).
I don't need a throttle on the e-bike - I don't mind pedaling a bit (but not a lot).
Unfortunately, I can't afford an Opti-bike.

I was looking at:
1. Charger-bike
2. Giant Seude E
3. Or get a crytalyte kit

For option #1, and #2, I think I am close to the limit of my budget - and not sure how good are they.
I am not mechanically inclined at all - so option #3 is not too appealing (which part of the bike is the fork? and drop? ).

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
