Default e bikes

[QUOTE=manaboutown;1309438]These bicycles seem to be getting popular among middle aged and older folks. I first noticed them in China about 10 years ago.

COMMENT FROM bbbbbb
Over a year ago, there was a firm that did demos of Ebikes at the Waterfront Hotel in the Villages, we rode them and liked them but did not buy at that time. Not sure of the company, but they seemed to be very well built, they were comfy to ride and had good controls, pedal a bit, ebike assist a bit. Really nice. However, on a bike you must follow all the rules of a car on a public street, no cutting corners, so to speak. Good luck. bbbbbb
