Current Biktrix Zeitgeist?

[vasubandu]

I am totally new to electric bikes and find myself torn between finding a good mainstream product and taking a flyer on something different. I am trying to think of the last thing I did normally and am coming up empty.

My bike will be have a primary function as a commuter. The commute will be 7.5 miles each way, and each direction has a hill 300 feet high over a mile. I am 53 and in decent physical shape. I think I want a mid-drive bike. I am focused on pedal assist, but the idea of pedal assist plus throttle is just the kind of idea that gets me going.

The BikTrix Monte 1000 is currently sold out, but I have patience. Even with the max battery, it still looks like it would come in under $3k.

If the bike had issues, I could not fix them. I would have to pay someone else to do it.

So would this bike for someone like me be a colossally stupid idea or just a situation that had manageable risks?

BY the way, there currently are no BikTrix bikes on eBay, but someone in Cleveland has a Juggernaut described as never ridden on the road for $1,650 ("750 watts of power capable of reaching speeds of 30+ mph")

Just purchased a Juggernaut from Biktrix am taking delivery in July. I went with Biktrix because Roshan was super helpful and responsive. I have 0 worries that if something where to come up he would do what he could to help. I have seen alot of reviews from people about the Juggernaut and all are super positive. He also is using some great components on his Bikes. I made the leap and have 0 buyers remorse and Im sure the Juggernaut Ultra is going to be as much or more fun then I am allowed to have =-)

That's a sweet deal! They probably paid around $1999 for it.
