Hello forum members - just wanted to shout out a public thanks to the folks at Lectric Cycles and especially Chris who spent a few hours on the phone answering my questions and getting a new bike outfitted with some extras and shipped out the very same day.
I’ve been electric biking for a few years and other than my home made stuff with lead acid batteries in past years, then bought a mid drive Giant which I loved. In 2010, I bought my first production mountain bike called a Liberty Mountain Bike which I rode for years. Part of my current fleet is a few Pedego bikes, a Prodeco Outlaw 1200 and a Mariner 500. I finally decided I would get a mid-drive system so I started looking around and calling a few of the more popular dealers, I tried for 3 days to reach the folks at Luna Cycle and all I got was mail box full and recording and no return call - maybe their on vacation?
Anyhow, on my first call to Lectric Cycles, Chris spent nearly an hour with me explain some of the options on their system. While I had planned to get a motor and install myself on my old 90’s Cannonade mountain bike, after talking to Chris and adding up all the options and difficulties of brackets needed for the battery and to make the motor work on my bike, I discovered for another $800 I could buy a brand new Turn-key 750 watt mid-motor bike from Letric Cycles and have a modern bike so that’s the route I went. I ended up with the e-rad Mid drive on a giant chassis, with a 48v 11.6 ah battery - color display - kickstand and a Cycle Satiator charger.
I included a “Stock” images and some specs of my bike which is in transit - I’ll post a few images and some thoughts when she arrives.
Thanks Mike Mas
