    I test rode the Specialized Turbo Vado yesterday. They were out of stock of the 4.0 but had a 5.0 and I was told it would give a good enough feel for the bike. The motor is very quiet and smooth.

    @onlineaddy Thanks! The Vado 4.0 price is tempting. @e-boy Haha yes the Trek is the frontrunner right now. Are there other brands/models I should be considering?

    Hi, I'm looking to replace car commuting with ebiking to pollute less and exercise more. My plan is to ride to work, charge the bike at work, then ride home. I have test rides scheduled for the bikes I’m considering below, but wanted to know if there are other bikes I should consider. Goals...
