Is the Velec brand one to avoid? They seem to be the most readily available at this time.

$3k seems like plenty of budget to work with.


Is your wife going to have to haul the thing up or down any stairs, and does she have any preference for step-over vs. step-through frames? Those things (lighter weight and frame design) might narrow it down a bit.



I've always liked the look of the Liv line from Giant for women. Their Road E+ comes in at the top of your budget, but you get a good brand name for the money. Otherwise people seem to really like the RAD e-bikes, which come in well under your budget.
