    Might be crazy, ordered a Luckeep X2 today

    Been a cold winter, not a lot of days above 32*, unlike last year when I was able to ride almost every day. Have about 250 miles on it now, I like it, quite different from my Vitilan U7 20" foldable. I swapped out the handlebars, added mirrors, compass, and removable basket, much more...

    New to E bikes in Mass. with Vitilan U7 step thru

    Hi, new member, got my first ebike just before Xmas. Older (65) rider so I wanted a step thru, after a lot of research decided on the Vitilan U7. Seemed like the best bang for the buck with hydraulic brakes, mag wheels, 750 watt motor, etc. Wanted one for exercise, been riding it a lot, over 260...
