    Electrric Bike for a Large Guy

    6'4" 275 looking at an Electric bike for around the neighborhood and when camping. Our neighborhood is basically a Golf Cart Community. I am thinking that Ebikes would be more fun than a Golf Cart. But need one for a Big Guy?
    We currently have bikes and a cart to ride to the grocery store, but it would be more fun to use a electric bike!

    Most full sized e-bikes are good for 275lbs easy. I have a Cyrusher Ranger and my wife has a Freedare, both are rated for 350lbs max. My buddy has a Himiway Cobra pro it’s rated for 400lbs max, he’s over 275lbs and rode my Cyrusher while turkey hunting and said he wouldn’t have paid the extra money for the 1000w mid drive had he known the 750w hub drive was plenty enough power.

    I am about the same size, I 'received' a Hiboy Fat tire P6 and it's one of the best things I've ever owned. I have about 2k miles on it and I love it. Goes about 28 mph, and I've been on it for 25+ miles at one time. If you need more info. Cheers!!

    Bought a Velotric Nomad 2. Rode it home from the Bike Dealer. That thing is sweet. It is rated for a Big Guy like me. What a fun thing to ride!
    There was not a Hiboy dealer near me.
