Not a bikefag so forgive the dumb questions.
I just recently started a job and I only need to commute to the train station & back. The drive's not long at all but my car is a shitty beater with expensive problems beginning to crop up. I was thinking of a bike but I'm a fatfuck and the path needs to go up and over a hill so I was thinking of an ebike. There are places to stow your bike while riding the train but there have been cases where like 10 bikes were in the same train, there was just a huge stack of bikes and nowhere to put them, so a folder would be kinda nice. With that context let me ask my questions:
1. Anyone have this Lectric XP Lite 2.0 suggested earlier? How is it? I'd really like an affordable folding ebike, so the Lectric seems perfect, I briefly looked at folding ebikes but scoffed at the price.
2. There are bike racks outside my workplace and they are monitored but I'd still like a strong chain, how is the security on the included bike lock? Any suggestions for better bike locks?
3. Should I get the fenders or can I just get any random fenders and they will work?
4. Also real newbie question, what's a good helmet if I decide to pull the trigger on one of these.
Any answers or resources for any of these questions would be much appreciated anons.
Also, don't tell me to get a real bike, I work a white collar job and don't want to be all sweaty when I get in.
