Re: E-bikes: anybody have one?

TAM, it's been almost 2 years since you got those e-bikes. Still happy with them? Any issues?
I'm back to "Real interested" and would like an update before I pull the trigger.

Re: E-bikes: anybody have one?

Enjoyed the visit, Chris. Thanks for the info and the test ride. Definitely interested, just need to work out the storage issues. We are seeking contractors for a new garage, so that may have to come first.

Re: E-bikes: anybody have one?

So how do you transport these?
Doesn't look like you could throw them on your 2-bike hitch carrier.

I don't know if this wold be helpful or not, but check out: https://www.ebikekit.com/collections/bicycle-kits
Those are a bit pricier than what I was looking at last Spring. I need to chase down those links again.
But your bikes look intriguing. I can see us ordering a couple of those, but I'm concerned about frame size. Is there anywhere local to DFW to look at one?
