Is it mad to want two e-bikes?

@Garry Hallam my folder is 20" and looks very similar to yours.
Its not an expensive one but has a good solid build. I think its great. I still would like a full size for carrying heavier stuff back from the store, or to go about town.
As far as exercise, I have the self discipline to turn it off and pedal manually. Barely, when it has a throttle lever : P

The full size one I'm looking at is a Walmart Concord Commuter. Its also a budget model but I like everything about the feel of riding it. The battery has a 20 mile range.
They also have a Huffy Cadence for about the same price, that has a 40 mile range. However the Cadence to me feels cheap and it just doesn't ride as well.
It sounds weird, but I would rather have a bike I like riding with a 20 mile range, than one that I don't with twice that.

Also I wonder if maybe you could swap the battery out with a better one, and get a longer range? Thats one thing I'd like to find out.

I have a 20" folder that I salvaged from a scrapyard. Shotblasted and powder coated. Fitted Sturmey AW 3 speed that I salvaged from a 700c town bike. My current favourite. I am tempted to swap the mid drive from the Voodoo over to this one but with a smaller battery.

That is a tidy job. May I ask where you got it shotblasted and powder coated?

Should be no problem as long as you can fit it somewhere.
