    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    I have been looking for a new ebike and it appears that the FLX Trail5 checks most boxes. I love the look with the integrated battery, Mid-drive, 120nm torque, 130mm travel on forks, suspension seat..etc.. But my bubble just burst as I found out Canada has updated its laws around ebikes. On...
