All grow abundantly in Oregon's Mid-Columbia Basin where I live. Hermiston, eastern Oregon's fastest growing city (19K+) is home. With only 10 inches of annual rainfall, coupled with existing and proposed trails and paved paths, electric bikes for my wife's and my senior citizen bodies just make sense. As a recently retired teacher who loves to research, I have spent the past two months watching videos and reading reviews on countless ebikes. Today, I pulled the trigger purchasing two Electric Bike Company models, the S for my wife, and the C for myself. I'll add photos on the EBC page when they arrive. In the meantime I'll be cleaning a spot in the garage for them.
