    Properly tensioning the cable for the rear shimano shifter

    Online companies vs the Established bike manufacturers

    I have been looking at e-bikes in the 3000-4000 range. Requirements are mid drive, torque sensor, front suspension and atleast a 500W motor with 20+ mile range on full assist.
