Having no riding experience, but done research on E-bike and Currie. They have the best warranty. As to reviews, I am sure their is a users forum. Don't know what size you need, but they have mountain bike styles, down to the skateboard style with handle bar and seat. E-bike nand currie claim about 15-20 miles per charge. I would want one with the Lithium-Ion batteries, which last longer and don't spill causing corrosion, burns, Etc. E-Bikes also has standard models. Some looked really sturdy. Let me know what you decide on? Pieere
