Long time cyclist, but just bought my first ebike a few months ago. I was able to get a Yamaha Wabash RT at the sale price, but after the free battery promotion. I have to say that this bike has been so much fun to ride and allows me to not worry about running out of gas (myself, not the bike). It's 100% pedal assist, and no throttle, so I still get a decent workout. Great to be part of this community.
