Hi guys,
My workplace may need to soon grow its fleet of ebikes. I'm researching models and have yet to find time to go and visit any of the local retailers.
The kind of urban bike we have currently is excellent. It's got a nice headlight, indicators, back tray, tops pania bags, comfy to ride. 7 speed Shimano gears. I really like the twist throttle just like a motorbike. While these bikes were made in Australia and are excellent, apparently we recently had to get rid of two because they had some kind of design flaw that meant just plugging the power cord in while the wall switch was on damaged the batteries!
I'd like to get some more with at least these features but want to trial new models. We have lots of different types of riders (around a thousand staff) and there are a lot off gravel and bush trails that our current urban model perhaps isn't suitable for.
A mountain bike with regenerative brakes would be great, as I ran out of batteries the other day and want to maximize batt life as much as possible...
Obviously as these are for multiple users at work I'm after something robust that is easily servicable and tough...
Any suggestions of makes and models would be hugely appreciated, as I know very little about ebikes.
