My kid bought one a while back which he ditched when he got his d/l. I’ve been commuting on it and this thing is a blast. If you’re bored and looking for something to make u smile ebikes have come a long way. The batteries and motors assist the pedalin g and cruising at 20 mph is very very low,effort. Really fun thing for summertime.
Bought our bike at the ebikes dealer in San marcos.
I’ve actually been considering this. My wife and I take walks now, but used to bike in norcal in a city that was very flat. The hills around here have kept us from biking….I figure if I could get a motorized bike we could pedal on the flat stretches and kick in the motor for uphill…I think that would be fun!
When we first moved to SM I bought an old 1960s green Schwinn at a garage sale with the intent of getting wifey and I back into biking. The hills killed that idea. We had a garage sale one day and at the back of the garage was that old green Schwinn. A guy in the driveway spotted it and offered me an enormous sum for it. Off it went in the back of his truck. Odd the way life works out sometimes.

Try a rental. You will be amused. It’s like a magic carpet
You inspired me to be more green. After I finish with helping with a bunch of housing tasks, I figured out the next project I want to do to my old Miata that rarely gets driveN now….
Electric Miata.
The conversions is only $20k
9.25 sec 1/4mile runs is just insane…
autocross vehicle might be good too
I don’t think I can add more power using ICB engines except a V8 which would cost more.
was riding this a.m. w the wife and we were thinking set up an ebike wine country tour biz. theres competirion but we could do something more personalized and familyish. accomodate kids…
