Buying a new bike

[Nicco]

So im buying a new E-bike but it seems most bike shops are only on the coasts like the E-Lux newport, and I live in the mid-west (Nebraska to be exact) what do I do? I cant find anywhere close to get them and the website is not the most helpful in these regards.

We're you looking at a particular brand? Crazy Lenny's ebikes in Madison is good to deal with. I'm in Minneapolis but have bought 3 bikes from then now, including one a couple weeks ago in person (long stone day road trip!) They have a ton of bikes in store, would be worth a weekend drive to try out everything and figure out what you like, get a great deal and save on the cost of shipping ($200 or so...large batteries incur extra shopping costs).

I agree with pxpaulax. Crazy Lenny's is great!

Lincoln and Omaha have ebike stores.. You should test ride a few before you buy one... So you know what kind of bike you might want.
