      Karen Grace February 17 I traveled with an e-bike last week and lifting it on and off the bike rack was onerous.  Besides, I didn't need power for most of the trails I ended up riding it on because most places were flat enough to ride with any bike with some speeds.  T...  more

      Lindan July 21 I saw on the website that a place in Austin has them, b8ta. Not clear if they are renting them or selling. I thought radbikes company only sold direct to consumer, but partnered with bike stores to rent them. We rented to try them and received a $50 coup...  more

    February 17I am looking. CrossCurrent X, Rad Mini, and Evelo Delta X are all under consideration. There are no Ebike dealers in Bowling Green, so whatever I decide will be purely based on reviews etc. there is a dealer in NJ
    Crazy Lenny,s that has really good prices.
