Renter from a local online service: Village Bike Rentals. We would not hesitate to recommend them for a rental- they were great.

We're considering buying 2 bikes from them. Any feedback on a buying experience?

Thanks!


Lots of great suggestions from folks. Something that was not mentioned when you shop for e-bikes, is check to see if the battery is easily removable. Our bikes have batteries that could be dismounted quite easily, so we never, ever leave them unattended, even though we have great locks for them. Occasionally we might lock them up "in the bubble " if we are doing something outdoors and they aren't too far from eyesite. Some batteries are encased making it harder to access. There is a high incidence of e-bike battery theft.
