Hi folks, Thanks again for the help with this. I did some more research and used your advice and ended up going with the "Spark" from Sparkbikes.ca (Thanks for finding the site, @Timpo!), with the upgraded 17AH battery and the disc brakes...

@Timpo I may still connect with them as they're close by... but appreciate the info on the cheaper parts, especially the brakes. @Tuna Are you trying to make this more difficult for me? Too many options (although they do look really great)!!! :)

Probably... :) I was looking at comparable price points with the others and clicking back and forth, but the Elegant is more of what I'd probably want. As Dewey pointed out, Voltbike is in Vancouver, just a short ferry ride away from me. I like that. Ryan

Completely agree. I'd also like e-bikes to regularly be part of my future developments, so I'll also be looking for more of a long-term relationship with a quality provider.

I think I've now shortlisted (which is longer than my original list!) to these, which are similarly spriced: Amego (possibly any of their four bikes) https://www.amegoev.com/electric-bike-brands/amego/ Surface 604 Colt (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Voltbike Enduro...

Thanks, again, Timpo. Those Stark bikes are priced pretty amazingly, but seems like lots of issues with quality and customer service. I don’t think I’ll go with them because of the ongoing maintenance thing and wanting the folks in the townhouses to have a really good first impression with these...

You folks are fantastic. Thanks for the additional options... it's amazing how many brands there are (and many with so similar specs). Thanks, Timpo, for the extra suggestions. The spark seems similar to some of the other bikes I've seen but at a lower price point. I'll look at these more...

I’m debating a few options, but more likely for this one I’ll buy a couple and make them common, owned and maintained by the strata (units will be all sold). I suspect a few of the future owners might be cyclists already and perhaps wouldn’t use an e-bike. We’ve designed the building with a...

Thank you, ebikemom. I’ll do a bit of reading on hub drive. Seem to be some good options close by.

I'm heading over to Salt Spring in a couple months and was planning to reach out to them on the Juice bikes... maybe test their bikes out too. It's a great island for electric bikes as it has a ton of hills, so I'd certainly get a sense of performance. Appreciate you having the B.C. local...

Yes, Victoria, B.C. Thanks, Dewey. I'll look at those companies too. I like the idea of a product designed locally.

Hi folks, Looking for some info and advice, as I’d like to purchase an e-bike for personal/work use, and likely two to six more bikes for a townhouse I’m building. I’m a small land developer in Victoria (lapishomes.com) and have a company philosophy of giving people options to get them out of...
