    Need Advice on Buying an Ebike

    I wanted to give an update on my electric bike search. I had pretty much decided that the way to go was with a conversion rather than a new electric bike, mostly due to the fact that I already have a bike which is lightweight, fits me beautifully and is a pleasure to ride (Rivendell Sam...

    Need Advice on Buying an Ebike

    Need Advice on Buying an Ebike

    Hi Noreen, I have read about the Stromer - what did you like about it that made it your choice? Funny, I also have a recumbent - a Bachetta Giro, which I will probably sell to help pay for the ebike or conversion (also, too many toys!) I really like the recumbent, but find it a bit awkward...

    Need Advice on Buying an Ebike

    I am interested in electric bikes and have a few questions that despite much web-surfing, don’t have good answers to. There are several dealers in my area, and I plan to visit them, but want to go prepared with some knowledge. My first question is size – when buying a regular bike, we spend a...
