    Hi, Thank all of you for your very helpful and educational comments on here. My wife and I are in our early 60's and are on a quest for comfort ebikes up to 28 mph (won't be going that fast but faster than 20) for frequent, fun rides of 10 - 30 miles. We started looking at the budget hub...

    Ariel Rider Support Problems | Never Answers Their Phone

    I think that I kinda just fell in love with "the beauty and the beast" of their W-class based on the looks, specs, and reviews and am considering ordering, but these comments concerned me, so I called them just now. The owner, Arda, answered immediately. It doesn't get any better than that...
