Hi, What good full suspension ebikes are recommended and available in the Santa Cruz/San Jose, California area? Most people I know are getting a Specialized Levio and I`vee seen a Trek Powerfly, but there doesn't seem to be much else around. Am I missing something.

I am a little old lady who has been an ok road biker and want to get on the trails without over taxing myself,

I went on a demo ride with current bikes in Santa Cruz and was blown away riding the sweet pivot shuttle. They had a special promotion and 0 % for 12 months. It was an easy decision as that bike rocks and Mike at current shop was extremely knowledgeable and no pressure.

It is possible to over do it even on the ebike. I went on an overly ambitious tour of steep rocky fire roads in marin and at hour 3 things got a little strained, fortunately there was enough battery left to turn up the assist. So depending on finances and projected use the larger battery in some models is a consideration

Be sure to join norcal emtb groups on Facebook. Great bunch of people and group rides every Sunday.

I don't have a FaceBook account but would love to meet up. Who is the admin of the FaceBook group? Will send them a PM and connect. Just bought a 2019 Turbo Levo S-Works.

I got my Raleigh Kodiak “used” from bicyclebluebook in San Jose, they have quite an impressive stock of bicycles and a few Ebikes! Also check Motostrano in S.F. where we got my wife’s Cube.

Current bikes in Santa Cruz has the Pivot Shuttle and others. Went on a shuttle demo ride and was very very impressed. The 0 down, 0 interest for 12 months made it an easy decision. All of the components are top notch and ride more than I ever had.
