It's on clearance at Best Buy, new in the box. I tried searching for review or feedback on the bike here already and have read up on older models running SLA, but none on this bike specifically or with the new enlightened running Li-ion. Just want to get feedback on this bike.
This would be my first e-bike (with pedals), although I do have an eGo Vehicles motor scooter which is great, but sometimes I'd like to be able to pedal too. And of course I ride a regular bike too, but sometimes I want some help on those hills we have around here.
I'm willing to bet that I'll want to upgrade it after I've outgrown it, so any feedback on how upgradeable the chassis is would be great. I think its Aluminum so perhaps I'll want to change to a steel fork, or do a rear wheel brushless?
Thanks!
Mike
