Well its not too early to start considering an e-bike, I researched them 1 and half years before ordering mine. You are so right about fast changing technology. A number of people that I know still oppose them but when its time for you their comments will not bother you, I promise. Now rather than being limited to the streets around my house, i am back to touring and enjoying it. I like to ride and the e-bike has extended my ability to ride and hopefully for a few years. You will know when its time for you.
I looked at and researched bikes by Giant and Trek. I had nearby dealers who could service them. I got a Dual Sport Plus made by Trek. This bike is not offered by Trek anymore, but I really like it, it sold for $3599.Works well for me. Its compares somewhat to the Trek Verve 3 Plus but has suspension fork, and 10 speed 11-42 and 700X 38 tires. I liked the Bosch motor and controller over the Shimano system on the Giant, so I went with the Trek. I put on a pannier rack and haul my gear in either one or two panniers and strap a gear bag on top of the rack. I have made 2 trips without SAG.
I have no problems on the mountain roads in Virginia and have ridden some hard headwinds. This is working for me. Go to your local bike store, I am sure they will be happy for you to test ride several models.
Sincerely,
Ross Sherman
