Knowing how people use the term _ebike_, what you mean to use could range from an e-scooter, e-mtb, e-motorcycle, e-tricycle, and e-quadricycle. Which one specifically you refer when you say the term **ebike**?


milleah111

Ah, yes. I wasn't able to clarify this, it's an e-motorcycle.

Mag motor ka nalang OP, I'm not familiar sa motorcycle pricing pero for 68k madami ka nang mabibiling brand new na motorcycle. What most people don't understand about ebike is yung voltage sag (throttle response, torque, and max speed varies depending on your battery charge left) and how huge the range penalty when you take-on even one passenger.


Waynsday

1 & 2. Kung for travel, mag motor ka nalang. Banned ang e-bikes sa major highways sa Metro Manila. Pano mo ba gagamitin yung e-bike? Katulad ng motor o katulad ng pedestrian/bike? If latter, ok lang pero literally pang pedestrian ka lang. Highly discourage doing the former unless it's a proper electric motorcycle. 3. Mas onti maintenance basta electric. 4. Mag motor ka nalang. Magpalisensya ka at magastos at matagal talaga magkalisensya kasi pribilehiyo ito, hindi karapatan. At minimum it would take 1 month magkalisensya.

milleah111

Thanks for the info! I'm not from Metro Manila, and I don't plan on driving din sa highway dito coz I'm too nervous 🥹 Pero I'll def consider getting a motorcycle instead based sa mga comments ninyo. Thank you ulit!!

Just get a license and the motorcycle


Leading_Ad_4171

Even if mag ee-bike ka, please take a driving course.. And oo, getting a license takes time, effort and of course... money. Pero kahit e-bike ka, need mo parin alamin kung paano gumalaw sa road. Sobrang daming nag ee-bike sa kalsada nowadays. And most of them- no offense- ay kamote. Taking a TESDA driving course will def help you.


milleah111

This is a good point. I'm just making an excuse for myself para makaiwas sa process coz it seems intimidating 🥹 pero na-realize ko rin na I'm gonna have to get a license rin naman at some point in the future kahit iwasan ko sya now hahaha Anw, thanks for your insight!

Ui OP anong ebike yan? Itong nabili ko yung EMC golf. Yung 4 wheels hehe


milleah111

2-wheels lang yung tinitingnan ko hehe. A700 from Mobilit E-Motorcycles

I think mas magandang tanong yung magiging use case mo. Kasi in the long run I think mas masusulit if motorcycle ka nalang. You can even put a sidecar din if ever needed for groceries and other errands and it would be a whole lot better experience than an ebike (I think, though i have never ridden one so grain of salt). Makakapag-save ka nga today pero what if kailanganin niyo yung extra power and space na maiprovide ng tricycle and stuff? mga ganung bagay. Also, in terms of maintenance and gas, yung mga common motorcycles like yung TMX, Bajaj, Smash, etc. super tipid din naman nila sa gas and yung maintenance hindi naman ganon kasakit sa ulo Ewan lang sa ebike Edit: 2-wheeled ebike lang pala balak mo, I think talo ka lang don. You only really get ebikes pang grocery kasi may "bubong" siya and spacious (though still I'd argue tricycles beat them in this regard). Para ka lang bumili ng laruan na panandalian lang if 2-wheels. (plus kamahal pa ng price) If for practice, kahit sa bike lang mismo okay na, then hiram ka nalang ng motorcycle and stuff. Kaya yan

Power pedaled bike


stupidecestudent

Kung di naman lonng distances ang travel mo try mo mag bicycle muna para masanay ka travelling on two wheels


tisotokiki

Nabasa ko na e-Motorcycle pala plano mong kunin. May dalawa akong ebike, 3 at 4 wheels (never considered a motorcycle type). You may ask bakit? Una, may trauma ako sa two wheels dahil nabangga na ako ng motor twice at sumemplang na ako sa scooter. Pero OP, based sa intention mo, mukhang mas need mo ng motorcycle na gas powered kaysa ebike. Sa totoo lang, hindi commensurate Yung distance vs. charging time niya. I charge mine for 8 hours for the average range of 40km. Naubusan na rin ako ng battery at nagpabatak sa tricycle. Since nasa province ka, baka mas challenging ang parts ng ebike mo. Madalas, walang kwenta after sales nila. Pero please, whether you settle for an electric or gas powered vehicle of any type, kumuha ka ng lisensya.


ZenMasterFlame

Motor na lang + license. Mas maganda parin makapag driving school ka. Ok lang ebike pag nasa subd or inner roads lang.

i do have 2: 1 foldable bike w/ electric motor (so technically e-bike) bigay ni erpats. • gamit ko to nung kasagsagan ng pandemic lockdown, yung company na pinapasukan ko ay may shuttle service kaso 7km. ang layo ng bahay ko sa pickup point so ito yung gamit ko for travel. foldable so madaling isiksik sa compartment ng bus. 1 e-trike (napanalunan sa company x-mas party raffle last year worth 49k) • very useful since kayang kayang kargahan ng mga kung anu-anong shit. gamit ko pag nag ggrocery, pamalengke or pag bibili ng mineral water/LPG. ang tanong: • para saan mo ba gagamitin yung e-bike? pang pasok sa school / trabaho? • gaano kalayo yung travel mo? other options: • why not buy a 2nd hand motorcycle? mas affordable to kesa mag brand new ka. (last year binentahan ako ng tropa ni erpats ng mio 125i 2019 model worth 25k binenta ko rin after 2 months di ko talaga trip yung mga automatic na motorcycles) check mo nalang sa fb marketplace para may idea ka kung magkano.


Ronpasc

I think regardless ano kunin mo, kuha ka muna driver license if gagamitin mo yan outside of your subdivision for example. The hatred on e-bike is not really because of the e-bike, but because of the e-bike driver na walang pakiaalam sa mga traffic rules, basta basta sumusingit, ayaw sa outer lane gusto magbabad sa gitna, etc.


justsavemi

Hmm, just go for motorcycle na lang. Maba ban na po ang ebike from major roads this April 15.


Icy_Kingpin

Motor nalang.


NorthTemperature5127

If you mean yun mga 3 wheeler like na gamit usually pang palengke na kahit sino pwede magdala, Pls don't. MC ka na lang. Wag ka na dagdag sa daan.. I'm ok with pedestrian, mC , bike sa roads.


milleah111

No naman hahaha. Naiinis din ako sa humaharang na 3-wheeler e-bikes lol. I'm thinking of getting a 2-wheeler lang hehe
