    Does size really matter?

    Yes I am. I'm ready to ditch the car, I just need something a little faster and much better on steep hills that my GT Nomad with dog trailer.

    Does size really matter?

    Close, Kansas City. 600 miles to Denver to try an Optibike, 700 miles to Austin to test Pedego, Easy Motion or that REALLY pretty Stromer. Oh and no offense taken. If the shoe fits after all...

    Does size really matter?

    I'm kinda stuck with Travis Kelce at this point. He may still work out, providing he quits hot dogging, but that should give you an indication why dedicated ebike shops, are few, far, and 16 months between. I was able to find several bikes with good position and geometry. And, for what it's...

    Does size really matter?

    After 16 months of nothing but ebikes on the internet, I finally, FINALLY, managed to steer the family vacation to a city that has a real, honest to goodness, store that sells nothing but ebikes.

    Joepah, Is that kind of trouble typical? It seems, from my reading, like A2B is a premium brand.

    State of the industry or Do I take the plunge?

    Ravi and Mark, Thanks for the input. Ravi, I am making every effort to steer the summer vacation to a metropolis where I can test ride to my heart's content but the Mrs. is much more of a cruise ship girl than a long car trip girl, so this is going to take some planning. Mark, your experience...

    State of the industry or Do I take the plunge?

    Greetings to all. I'm new to ebikes and was hoping to get some pre-purchase information to guide my search. My question, before considering models and specs, is prompted by several of the most recent videos that Court posted. 10 years ago, I fell in love with scooters, the gas powered...
