    Some beautiful scenery and bikes in this thread. Here is my new Wombat-1 grocery getter just back from Aldi. Only thing I would like to change is a larger chainring to lower my cadence at 20+ mph.

    I think it is clearance this model will be discontinued or updated. The replacement battery is $499 on it's own. I should buy this for parts.

    Here is what I did to my Magicycle commuter bike

    I am retired so no commuting. I have been setting it up for grocery store trips and cruising around the neighborhood. The bags are not heavy, about 3 lbs ea but the included motorcycle mounting hardware is very heavy. I did not use any of the included hardware.

    First 350 Miles on the Kona El Kahuna

    Used code M60 for $60 off sale price. I live in a hilly neighborhood and can go up the steepest hill in pas 2 or 3. Most of the time pas 1 is enough and great for no effort peddling. Sometimes I ride with no power assist pas 0. Have not tried pas 4 or 5 yet but 3 has been more than enough so...

    Build or buy?

    So I think it is a great bike for your wife to try. I got one and live in a hilly neighborhood and can go up the steepest hill in pas 2 or 3.
