Not the type to waste my time and money on a really cheap unit so I guess mid range is where I’ll start MY journey . Any constructive input is appreciated I'm 46 and jumped right in @ month ago. Wow am I happy! Should have bought one YEARS ago. My recommendation is EWheels.com, I worked technical support for several years, so I can appreciate it when support is done right. Felt like a king through all my newbie questions. Everyone told me to buy a cheap learner wheel to learn on, I went straight for the InMotion V11 because I knew that was the wheel I wanted to ride. It had the watts to push my fat butt up hills and provide a plush ride with plenty of zoom zoom. I'm 275 lbs so if you are a big boy > 200 lbs I reccomend a wheel with at least 2k watts nomimal power. V11 pushes out 2.2 K in late batches. That's another confusing thing I found, you have to search for reviews on wheels relating to the current batch presented or offered for sale. It is not easily done because all the influencers usually get early release versions or first batch production wheels. In the case of the V11 they made some pretty substantial changes in second third batch wheels. take that into account when researching. my 2 cents. I'm having the time of my life hehehe. I smile ear to ear after every ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO FAR thanks so much for the input... headed to Ewheels now lol I do have to check the pressure about once a week, after a heavy week of riding. About the same as my mountain bike, you can expect a bit of loss over use. Nature of the beast. Is that really a bad thing? I think not, you are placing a lot of trust in these machines and I also take that time to safety check other things on my wheel such as tire pressure\condition check for rattles that could indicate something is loose. Just as all the influencers have said, the v11 ride is plush. easy on my old knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
