    Is it important to you that your ebike doesn’t look like an ebike?

    I like a sleek build but because I built mine it is not. I'm OK with that. Heck, most people still don't know what it is.

    GM e-bikes are shipping to Europe: Test-riding GM’s Ariv Meld and folding Merge e-bikes

    It's a far sleaker design than my compact fold up bike. It has more options than my compact fold up bike. Mine cost me under $500 (Not including the bike I already had) will go over 20mph and far farther.

    Interesting E-Bike Article in Rails To Trails Conservancy (RTC) Magazine

    I am also glad they support e-bikes on the trails but I always get a little squirmish when discussing regulations.

    Bicycles have gotten 'insanely expensive'

    In the early 80's I was riding an older Kalkhoff. I got it at a yard sale really cheap. Not making much money at the time it was a nice bike. A few doors down from where I worked was a bike shop. I used to go in all the time and look at the Bianchi's. I will admit that I've never been hard core...

    Is a full-face DH helmet for certain e-bike riding activities overkill or a good idea?

    You should do what makes you comfortable and not worry about what others think.

    Cowboy - "The best looking pedal-assisted electric bike with a removable battery that I’ve ever seen"

    I like the simplistic design. If I was to ever build another bike though it would have a suspension.

    china trade deal dead ? Permanent tariffs ?

    I do not condemn people for their opinions. To each their own and all but I am curious just so I can read it. Which experts are these?

    Maybe everyone will realize we have more than a two party system.

    Older models sitting on showroom floor

    If you liked it (if it was me) it wouldn't bother me a bit. Yeah, when I was 12 it would have. Not now. Mines a folding bike so it's basically a step through. Seems to me the two bikes you are looking at are quite different. Only you know what you are wanting.

    30mph dockless share bike

    I most certainly would. Just because it will do 30 doesn't mean you have to dart in and out of traffic doing 30.

    Older models sitting on showroom floor

    That's great and a start. It costs you nothing to do that. I'd give it a full charge, keep track of how you rode and how far and report back. I'm sure many can make a good educated reply on whether the bike is doing as it should. Odds are decent you can likely make a good deal on it also.
